Has anybody played the Field of Glory games? How do Empires and Kingdoms compare to Paradox games? How do II and Medieval compare to Total War?

I tried Field of Glory II Medieval because it was free. It doesn't compare to Total War at all because they are completely different types of games.

Field of Glory is tabletop wargaming on a PC while Total War is strategic worldmap + RTS combat. Personally I have fun playing wargames with my friend but I couldn't get into Field of Glory. I played through the tutorial battles but I still didn't fully understand how combat was resolved. You don't have units with varying model size it's all just one unit per tile which is more or less required for a video game but it's a downgrade compared to the real thing. It also needed more unit variety. Guy on horse and guy on foot are basically your options. Overall I found it pretty boring.

i only tried 2 and bounced off it, felt basic and lacked that certain something

some anons shill these slitherine games hard but most to be fair they're usually super janky and forgettable
>>
I like it but I wish they tracked the missions and stuff you've completed like the older Battle Academy, Pike and Shot, and Sengoku Jidai games did. Slowly working through a list tickles my autism especially with so much content once you have all the dlc.

>Field of Glory games
playing with tin soldiers, personally I detest the rule set and think TW games are more fun and more realistic that this garbage
its also boring
>Empires and Kingdoms
fairly good, some solid ideas but they are secondary games made in garage by left over crew, lack polish
I had plenty of fun with Empires, still waiting for final patch

I don't think it is getting any more patches? Maybe Kingdoms is.
Have you played Imperator Rome? Modded? How would you compare it with Empires?
>>
>>2401975
there suppose to be LAST PATCH, promised last time in September 2025(and long before), still not even started to be worked
I played both Paradox Rome games but long ago and not very long. Don't remember much. Didn't have much fun with them.

I pirated Kingdoms a while ago (it's on gog)
It was okay I guess? Played some hours and then never again, didn't like the random economy system
