More Age of Wonders: Planetfall for me.  Also something Total War, either Rome II or Warhammer II.

What do you think of the game so far?

I'm still playing the tutorial campaign, but I'm liking it so far. 


Triumph Studios really upped the empire-building aspects compared to AoW3, which I'm digging.  Battles are still fun, though I'm missing the relative lack of melee combat -- but then, I've always been more of a sword/spear/axe kind of guy.  I don't know how the game played before the new Tyrannosaurus update, but I suspect the balance work and AI improvements are a definite step up. 

It's still early days, but right now I'd say Planetfall might be the most fully fleshed-out (and enjoyable) entry in the series so far.  It's not hard to see why a lot of folks list it as their top 4x title for 2019.

Martok,

Thanks a bunch for the feedback. It appears the game has a pretty strong following over on the Paradox forums.

Looks like you just tipped the scales for me and I will dropping 20 bucks on it. (ssshhh...don't tell the girlfriend.)

going to start learning the F-14 in DCS. I love the F-16 but I really want a feature complete plane. The F-18 is close but still missing any ECM capability. Plus, the F-14 is clearly the sexiest military aircraft ever created

Black Cove awaits me in  Divinity: Original Sin 1 - Enhanced.

I have the free weekend for Hearts of Iron IV so maybe? ?

Red Dead Redemption has been my main course lately, but I just picked up Invasion Machine so I'll be giving that a spin this weekend.   \m/
I was waiting for a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one.

Pre- or post-Reformation?  ;)  I created a Vulcan-style race for Stellaris as well; it remains one of my favorites (even if I haven't played the game itself in a while).  8)

You know. The f14 looks ugly as hell without underslung tanks.

Well so far played Oxygen not Included, pillars of eternity 1 and some Dragon Quest XI

Insert witty comment here.

There are at least a couple layers of irony in that you now play the current version of Stellaris, whereas I (who encouraged you to try it out) can't fucking stand it.  :buck2:  You must have a stronger stomach than me...
