ok ijust played a few hours of Kings Bounty: crossed worlds. I liked it decently enough, i found it seems to fair better on auto fight than i do myself which killed the strategy part of it, other than that it kinda feels more like an RPG without the management. I can see its repetitiveness so i'm doubting i'll play much of the entire expansion sets...i prolly should have just bought the main game.
I'm not feeling the military/future stuff in this genre...i want to stick to more historical.
What sort of strategy game are you looking for - real time; turn base; fantasy; war; ..
i really have no idea, i know very little of the strategy genre, only very briefly ever played a few. Dark Wizard on the SegaCD was all i ever really played here.
So i'm quite new to this genre...i just want to get into it, but not get overwhelmed just yet by micro management.
I did like Kings bounty enough though. i dont think i want real time. something where i use strategy to get troops in order to win a war..well like dark wizard, you had so many moves per group, like chess you had to get them on the map and strategically attack.
History and Chess? Total War series.
start with Rome if you don't mind something a little dated these days. You can get the Gold edition for relatively cheap (and it is often on sale for cheaper). If you can't get into it (campaigns can be quite long), then it's no big loss.
Empire is decent, too. I haven't played much of it, but it's good.
Shogun 2 is the newest one, and is quite amazing. It hasn't sold for less than $30 yet, though.
Are those micro management? i really don't want to do stuff like feed/train troops, build towns...etc. I just want to use strategy with basic rules like you would in chess.
I did try Medieval briefly, but its poor graphics was a big turn off, then for some reason i just sucked at it on top of the fact it just didnt feel very strategic to me, like it wasnt accurate or something? i dunno
this genre has always been very popular for some reason, so many strategy games, but unsure if i really have the time to play much...i'm kinda in limbo till some good FPS games come out, likely later this year.
