[QUOTE="Taleweaver, post: 4920614, member: 237261"] I wanted to play some strategy games. After trying out civilization 4 for a while (yeeey, humble bundle) and age of empires 2 HD (yeey, steam sale), neither of those really "clicked" for me. Civilization is turn-based, and on a strategy game that just removes any tension for me. And TBH I don't get why age of empires 2 was so popular. ...so I went back to rise of nations, which has all the ingredients I like. Lots of resources but easy management, lots of progress to be made, different winning conditions and the AI is pretty decent as well (my guys tend to be a bit overambitious when it comes to attacking, but at least they do things I intend to do anyway...unlike AoE2 where moving more than 1 unit around becomes a giganormous clusterfuck). Not to forget there's something immensely gratifying when massively researching technlogoy and then attacking guys with muskets with a bunch of tanks. Or a bunch of wooden ships with a fleet of dreadnoughts. :P I admit I'm not good at it (I must've played the campaign on easiest, as 'normal' and even 'easy' skirmishes aren't as easy to win), but I'm certainly having fun with it. :D [/QUOTE]
