A bump for all kinds of strategy game :)

I play Company of Heroes 2, not a lot of online RTS to play

This is actually a blight affecting multiple genres, the distinction between them has become quite blurry, especially in the RPG genre. You go to the Steam store and you filter by tag and what's the first "RPG" game there? DOTA 2.... a MOBA -.-"
I'm also in that generation that grew up in the boom of strategy and jrpgs(can't even tell you how many hours I spent on Dune 2000, Civ II, Final Fantasy titles, Legend of Mana, C&C:RA, Settlers, Breath of Fire, Populous: The Beginning(omg Populous <3 ) and other such titles). It's certainly nostalgic just talking about them :P

However for some reason in recent years I don't miss them that much. I'm a huge sucker for management games and for rpg-esque exploration/crawler games like Darkest Dungeon and Renowned Explorers or tactical rpgs like the recent XCOMs, Shadowrun(which was where my vote went btw) etc and I feel there's a fair share of those around. However a great strategy game like Civ and such is always very addicting :P

Great GA choice btw, I won't enter since I'd only do it from nostalgia and it will just end up being played for a couple hours before being virtually shelved again(spent insane hours on it back in it's day!) but it's a true masterpiece

Bump!

I am in love with king's bounty series now. Turned based strategy games are the best!

I like strategy games quite a bit. They (at least the good ones) are not just some easy, mindless games but actually make you think and have consequences if you do something wrong (I started a new Civ 6 game today, made a slight mistake at the beginning, because of which I had to fight off constant barbarian attacks for 100 turns. Needless to say that once I finally destroyed them, I was quite a bit behind the other factions).

My current favorite games on steam include several strategy games, like Crusader Kings 2, Civ 6, XCOM 2 and my all time favorite game series, Total War (Warhammer is truly amazing).

Where the heck is the option for "potato strategy games?"

Bump.
Thank you very much!

So many hours spent on Stronghold games <3

I have a love hate relationship with strategy games xD ~bump

Oh... HOMM III took a lot of my time... and nights... I couldn't get into HOMM IV and HOMM V was nice but too candy sweet for me. As for other strategy games - it depends. I don't have much time so I choose more casual games nowadays. But HOMM III still has a spot in my heart. Thank you!

My fave is Turn-Based Tactics. Those Tactics game introduced me to it. All those gameboy games. Then FE got me addicted to them.
Strategy games are all awesome.
Playing Mordheim right now, very interesting.

Bump and definitely 4X for me, though HOMM has also ranked up there for sure, as has Civ.

I can still remember one of my first RTS was an obscure title called Krush, Kill N Destroy. I can also remember when I went to a family reunion and my parents were driving through the bush, seeing the battles unfold in the paddocks around me. And then I fell in love with Red Alert 2, until I we got a new computer and I couldnt find the code.

I don't play that much with strategy games than I used to; however my first owned game was Imperium Galactica II and my first truly finished game was WH40k: DoW... so yeah, I have to say it's one of my favourite gametype.

Bump! I love strategy games, but don't like to play multiplayer though :( I remember spending hours on AoE2 and Warcraft... great memories!

Bump!

I do like those games but I suck at them

there is no real answer to the poll. I started out loving Civ and Col, then Master of Orion and Dune II, then HoMM, then Total War, then EUIII followed by CKII and more recently X-Com EU. It just depends on (a) what I'm in the mood for, and (b) what the most recent phenomenal game is.

I can't pick just one :(

Used to play lots of strategy games, but now kinda suck at them and don't have that much time for them. :/

Thanks for a giveaway. Friends used to play this one a lot, but I didn't because it was in Russian language. That didn't stopped me from trying, but still didn't got into it. Would like to try to play it properly.

Bump.
