| Age of Conquest III | Noble Master Games | 2012 | Note, if one buys the game on a mobile platform (Online, Andriod, iOS), then they have a full cross-platform license. But if the buy on a non-mobile platform, the license is limited to non-mobile platforms (Windows, OSX, Linux). There are many other generous yet still very complicated licensing grants involving lending the game, transferring ownership, use on multiple computers/devices. And these vary depending on which party the purchase was made with. Noble Master Games [url=http://www.ageofconquest.com/support.html]sort of explains some of this[/url] but some of their explanations contradict the EULA (which they make a point to point out). The game is DRM-free and the company makes numerous requests to please follow the complicated rules. Good luck figuring them out.***[media=youtube]Wm8YQiH7X_Y[/media] | Linux | labelimageminimize |

| Civilization V - Gods and Kings | 2K Games (Firaxis Games) | 2012 | EAN-13: [code]5 026555 059268[/code]***Sid Meier's Civilization V: Gods and Kings is the first expansion pack for Civilization V - the critically acclaimed 2010 PC Game of the Year. This robust expansion covers the entire scope of time from founding your first Pantheon of the Gods and spreading religion across the world, to deploying your spies in enemy cities in order to steal information and technology. As you move through the ages, you’ll interact with new types of city-states, engage in new city-state quests and global competitions, and master exciting new systems for land and naval combat. Civilization V: Gods and Kings will also include nine new civilizations, nine new wonders, three original scenarios, and dozens of new units, buildings, and techs that will offer even more ways for players to expand their empire and dominate the world. [b]Key Features:[/b] * [b]Expanded Epic Game:[/b] The core game experience has been greatly expanded with the addition of new technologies (like Combined Arms), 27 new units (like the new 1-hex ranged unit Machine Gunner), 13 new buildings (like the Bomb Shelter), and 9 new Wonders (see below). Additionally, there are even more new units and buildings included in the three new Scenarios for modders to use. * [b]New Civilizations:[/b] The expansion will deliver 9 new civilizations, such as Carthage, Netherlands, the Celts, and the Maya (it is 2012, after all), along with their unique traits, units and buildings. The expansion also includes 9 new leaders including William I, Prince of Orange, Boudicca and Pacal the Great. * [b]Religion:[/b] A righteous people will seek out Faith to found a Pantheon of the Gods. As your Faith becomes stronger, you can cultivate Great Prophets who build on these simple beliefs to create a religion that you can customize and enhance as desired. Are you tolerant of other religions or is this the one true faith? Are you focused on Gold, Arts or Military? Beliefs can even unlock custom buildings that only people of your religion can construct. Great prophets, missionaries and inquisitors help you spread your beliefs to other lands and gain the alliances of City States, and like-minded civilizations. * [b]Enhanced Diplomacy and Espionage:[/b] Establish embassies at foreign courts for closer ties (or clandestine operations). As the religions of the world start settling in, and the world moves into the Renaissance, you unlock your first spy (with more to come). Send them out to establish surveillance of foreign cities, steal advanced technologies from your strongest or wisest competitors, or interfere with city-state alliances. All of your actions can have a diplomatic impact if discovered, so always tread carefully. * [b]City-States:[/b] Two new city-state types have been added (Mercantile and Religious) to bring all new advantages to the table. The city-state quest system has received a complete overhaul to decrease the importance of gold and add a whole range of new quests that further the narrative of the game, as well as make the diplomatic victory a more varied option. Ally with Marrakech to get access to their unique luxury resources! Vatican City and Jerusalem are holy cities that play key roles in the religious struggle. * [b]World Domination:[/b] The fight for world domination is now more dynamic than ever before. The Gods and Kings expansion features a reworked combat system and AI that puts more emphasis on a balanced army composition. The new system allows your lines to stand longer than they could before, so you, as a player, can make smarter tactical decisions without worrying about a single unlucky roll of the dice. * [b]Naval Combat:[/b] Your navy is now split into two different ship types, melee and ranged. This means that no coastal city should be considered safe, and can now fall to a surprise naval attack. Additionally, all embarked units now have Defensive Embarkation, and can stack with a naval unit for extra protection. Add to this the new Great Admiral, and the high seas have become a much more dangerous place. * [b]New Wonders:[/b] There will be 9 new Wonders with all new effects including Neuschwanstein, the Great Mosque of Djenne, the Terracotta Army, the Great Firewall, and the Hubble Space Telescope. [b]Three new Scenarios:[/b] * [b]Medieval:[/b] Grow your medieval kingdom into one of the great nations of Renaissance Europe, fending off outside invasions from Mongols and Ottoman Turks and fighting the religious wars of the Crusades and Reformation! * [b]Fall of Rome:[/b] Play as either Eastern Rome or Western Rome trying to fend off the barbarians OR as one of the barbarians themselves. * [b]Empires of the Smoky Skies:[/b] Build flying airships and huge tractor-like tanks from the unique tech tree of this Victorian science-fiction scenario, and use them to spread your empire across the pre-industrial world. | Windows | labelimagesubject |

| Depths of Peril | Soldak Entertainment | 2007 | Depths of Peril is a single player action RPG (role-playing game) with strong strategy elements. You play as a faction leader protecting the barbarian city, Jorvik, by destroying threatening monsters and completing quests. At the same time, you compete with rival factions to see who will rule the city. Barbarians choose their leaders by fighting to the death! As a faction leader, you must deal with rival factions through diplomacy, trade, and in time, war. Between battles and raids against other barbarian factions, you build the most powerful faction possible, to withstand your enemies. Building the power of a faction involves exploring a fantasy world, slaying dangerous monsters, solving quests for the city, avoiding deadly traps, and plundering loot to share within your faction. But in this world, actions actually have consequences, so take care. Annoying the powerful and aggressive Legion of Fear faction will cause them to declare war and destroy you. Ignored Orc uprisings in the Black Forest will cause even more trouble. Protect ally covenants that are being raided, because friends are hard to come by.

| Master of Orion III | Infogrames (Quicksilver Software) | 2003 | "Space is big. Really big." So begins The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. But like the void of space, there is a void in strategic space games. None have provided the bigness, that focus on the highest levels of grand strategy, that science-fiction epics in print, film, and television have long delivered. So, to the traditional 4-X strategy game of eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate, we have added an important new fifth X, eXperience. Through game devices that add character, story, and plot to familiar strategy play mechanics, MOO3 delivers the grandeur and richness of an epic space opera--not in the guise of a traditional book, movie, or TV show, but in the medium of a game experience.***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows 98SE, ME, 2000 or XP * 300 MHz Pentium II CPU * 128 MB RAM * 8X CD-ROM drive * 800 MB HD space * 800x600x16 display [b]Recommended:[/b] * 500 MHz Pentium III CPU * 256 MB RAM***Comes on 2 CDs. | Windows | labelimagesubject |

| Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri | Electronic Arts (Firaxis Games) | 1999 | Going under the banner 'Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri', this game had little or no direct input from Sid. It was instead handled by Brian Reynolds and Firaxis Studios. It is a continuation from Meier's meisterwerk Civilization II, picking up from where that game left off with a colony ship from earth being sent to Alpha Centauri. So it is, ostensibly, 'Civ... but in space!'. This is a sweeping statement, but AC borrows very heavily from Civ II, hardly touching the game mechanics (why mess with perfection? some would say). Little has been added save a custom unit workshop (as seen in many strategy titles) and automated governance for colonies. However the new factions are very well balanced and the future technologies believable and genuinely interesting. This game may not do much new, but it copies an old master with style and panache, while cleaning up a few of it's predecessor's rough edges. | Windows | labelimageminimize |

Yet Earth now lies open, its every corner inhabited, every depth known like the lines of your hand. But time and technology have given you the chance the reach out for new, completely unexplored, uninhabited worlds to conquer, far from the bosom of old Mother Earth. It is time for humanity to leave its cradle...

| Star Ruler | Blind Mind Studios | 2010 | Note that although the game avoids [url=/groups/info/flatspace]flat space[/url], it does not actually [url=/groups/info/3dstrategy]take benefit[/url] from this in any manner as everything is on the galactic plane, including planet orbits, unless you move them off it manually. You CAN move spacecraft and even planets (with proper technology) up and down and such from it, but it has no notable gameplay effect other than giving more rooms for large number of spacecraft to come into range of something simultaneously (any formation that forms a wall), and it makes escort formation much more impressive even if not much more efficient.***Take command of a vast interstellar empire and safeguard your species from total extinction in a procedurally generated 3D galaxy (with the option to flatten it) from 1 System to 10,000+! Prove your species' ingenuity through a deep and intricate combat system where anything (from individual components on ships to the stars themselves) is a target of opportunity. Twist other Empires into submitting to your galaxy-class wit with diplomacy and wheel-and-deal your way to supremacy. Research new kinds of weapons, engines, shields, and more, all of which retain their unique benefits as the game progresses, with a research web whose contents are shuffled every game at your option. Exploit interstellar phenomena such as asteroid belts and stars and exploit them for yourself or destroy them to deny your foes. Create and destroy new worlds through advanced technological research. Match your strategy against up to 10 other opponents (online or LAN-linked). Save the game when dawn breaks and boot it back up at dusk. It isn't over until you say it is! Drop in and drop out at any point; disconnecting players will not disrupt the game! Your weapons, your ships, your rules: Almost the entire game can be modified through Notepad! Easily add new models and particle effects to the game with "out-of-the-box" developer tools. Create new weapons in seconds; create new AIs through scripts! The Galaxy is yours! A Masterpiece in Progress: As time wears on, new gameplay features, art, and GUI improvements will be added into the game through patches as time and money allows. Race Creation; Non-Player Factions; Terraforming; more Ship Sets; Deeper Diplomacy; Deep Planetary Invasion; these features and much, much more to come! Key features: * Vast, Procedurally Generated Galaxies * Intricate Ship Design and Exciting Combat * Unique Research System * Easy to use interface, complex gameplay * Engaging AI opponents * Extensive modding support * Multiplayer * Original Soundtrack * Much more to come!***[media=youtube]laf44lnrPww[/media]***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP, Vista or 7 * 2 GHz Pentium IV CPU * 512 MB RAM * 256 MB VRAM * 500 MB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * 2.5 GHz dual-core CPU * 1 GB RAM | Windows | labelimagesubject |
