One thing that I will always stand by in gsgs especially those by paradox is that you can't polish a turd. All this is is more bells and whistles that do not interact with the core game mechanics and add at best 5 more hours of play time and like 10 events that will very quickly get old. Why retards continue to purchase this utter garbage is beyond me. The mind boggles.

We aren't talking about if the game is good. The post said that paradox would go back and start updating it. They won't because it has no players so the risk of spending money on it is too high. It blows me away every time people on this board think their own personal taste has any impact on company decisions.

Not a Strategy game by any means, but Kingdome Come: Deliverance has a whole mission where you need to infiltrate a monastery by joining as a monk, and for you to be able to go without arousing suspision you need to follow the strict schedule of a monk until you can fullfill your objective.

Pic related is a monastery. All parts are modular, and you add several types of buildings that serve different functions or produce different kind of ressources, such as

Best action-economy for turn-based I've encountered, which can be really fresh. But map generation isn't the best imo. Would be nice to see similar action-economy but in a more flexible setting.

What sets Old World apart to me is that the AI is by far least retarded out of all current 4X games. It is like no other 4X game can figure out that you need to give units a lot of space and mobility to give AI a chance in 1-unit-per-tile warfare.

Crusader Kings but fully played from the family tree layer. If anything, its actually a pretty decent implementation of the old social climbing ttrpg En Garde. Anyone else play it yet? Gotta get a key from their patron, but there really is no other dedicated family tree sim like this.

Is it in the Steam Demo version only? Or is it written in one of the birth events somehow that I skipped over and didn't read?

lol wtf. they took the demo off the steam page so the only way you can play it now is either through the very early version on itch or if you pay for early access on discord.

How does it compare to Ozzy & Drix?
>>
>>2390229
Never watched Ozzy&Drix. Looking quickly on the net it look like some capeshit&detective cartoon but humanbody-themed.
"Once upon a time...Life/The Man" were 100% educative stuff, just with the different cells/molecule given some personality.
>>
>>2390229
Ozzy & Drix is an action-superhero cartoon with anthropomorphic cells focusing on the 2 main characters and their detective work. "Life" was an educational cartoon for children focusing on how different functions of the human body operate in reality in an extremely simplified and easy to digest way for children's brains to understand and teaching it using dialogue and story. The two are totally different genres.

I've been feeling kinda tired of commanding armies and civilizations lately. I've been feeling an itch for a more personal strategy game. Something like being a small town mayor or minor criminal boss. Not really those specific vibes just that scale. But nothing I currently have is really like that. Any recommendations?

no squad tactics games. not because i dont like them but because ive already played them.

For Port Royale, I only played 3 so can personally vouch for that.
From reviews I see 4 changed ship combat to turn based-instead of real-time but then again, its not the combat that is the focus, its the "buy low, sell high, invest and repeat" cycle. There is also pirate start and combat oriented start but I didn't play pirate one, and a couple of scenarios to unlock which I haven't got to yet.
I know also of anon who hates 3 for some reason and prefers 2 but he never stated his reasons.

Foundation's organic development is cool since buildings are static slots in squares but actually adapt to the zone and space available, meaning if land available is in shape of a triangle, building will be triangle.

Homeworld by Relicsoft is an army commander, but smaller scale than most, since you're controlling a small fleet based around a single mothership.
>>
>>2383940
Idk exactly what you mean by "squad tactics game", and this might very well be it, but Burden of Command is pretty neat imo. You're in charge of a US infantry platoon, and later a company iirc, through WWII. It has some pretty basic, but not easy, tile based combat and you have to manage your men between missions, as well as having quite a lot of decisions which impact your campaign. I haven't played it since release a year ago though
