Best turn based strategy game?

None of it was in there. Heroes of might and magic 1-3 on PC. Play them now!

Slient Storm 2 if you can get it to run on modern OS

Haven't played a lot of these kinds of games, but I had a lot of fun with the Age of Wonders series.

Based on the choices, Civilization.

But rogn has it right here. Heroes of Might and Magic 3 is one of the best games of its kind ever made.

@Blueresident87: Never played it, i'll look into it. Thanks for the feedback.

My fave is Front Mission 4 for the ps2

@nibbin1191: Just what i'm familiar with, I used to do it on the original X-Com back in the day with my friends. Made for some fun moments (especially when they did something dumb lol).

Play Civilization and total war

Those are really great series.

How about Advance Wars?

Not sure if this counts but Valkyria Chronicles is great. I love that game!

SD Gundam series

Front Mission series

Super Robot Wars series

XCOM series

Xenonauts

Battletech

Civilization series

Galactic Civilizations series

@nibbin1191: I haven't but haven't played it all the way through yet. It is a good game.

It's hard to go wrong. I voted XCom, but Civ and Total War and Age of Wonders, and HoMM are all great as mentioned. Can't believe nobody has mentioned Alpha Centauri or Master of Orion 2

Thank you guys for the feedback, I did a poll in my facebook group as well and it's clear that it will be X-Com. I'm going to go with X-Com 2 as I haven't played it all the way through yet so it will be even more fun. If anyone would like to follow along it will be on my youtube channel coming soon.

Tactics ogre let us cling together.

Recently? Maybe X-COM reboot, especially with the expansion.

I want to say Battletech, but it's almost too much turn-based combat lol. They forgot to balance the technical aspects with being aesthetically pleasing.

Battleship or monopoly

@Yams1980: Never played it, I'll definitely check it out.

The Shining Force series.

Total war is my favourite franchise. But Civ, is in my top 5 as well. XCOM is brilliant too. Honestly, I'm a strategy game addict. By the way, your poll is missing some other great franchises.

final fantasy tactics a2 is the best turn based game made by humanity

but for some reason they never made more

@needhealing: Right, that is why I added the "Other" category. I haven't played them all, but like yourself i'm a strategy addict as well.

I really like Xcom and Phoenix Point looks like it should be out June 2019!

What about the world of tanks. This game also requires strategic thinking.

I think Summoner War is good too but I'm FF fan so :)))

Disgaea is the best.

I would go for Final Fantasy

I love that series.

What the hell happened to the series? I remember being addicted to the DS game.

It dieded. Check out Wargroove by Starbound though. It's looking like it's going to be a medieval spiritual successor to Advance Wars.

The best strategy game on my childhood was Age of Empires II

if you are all into the authentic nostalgia thing look into Empire Earth given your fondness for Age of Empires

XCOM for sure.

Advance Wars is rubbish unless it's your first game of that kind. I actually bought a DS and that game for like stupid money and played it for an agonising couple of hours before I sold the DS and all it's shit six games for the princely sum of £15 after spending a fortune buying it all Nintendo I hate you so much.

Oh yeah, the topic.

Sid Meir's Alpha Centuari.

I prefer this game to Civilisation although it is very similar. It's way more interesting though. You choose from 8 or so factions who have all just landed on Alpha Centauri after escaping Earth after winning Civilisation with space victory and each leader starts the whole process again after having learned nothing from the original game and set about destroying each other again only this time instead of for a country you're fighting for an ideology be it an industrialist or a tree hugging Gian.

This game is so much more interesting that CIV though and differs most in that you really need to design your own units which some people might find fun and others boring. I think it's the most fun aspect though. Have you ever made a squad of trained psi marines and sailed them across the ocean in a giant invincible floating worm boil? Well you can in this game.

The game introduces a new land type: fungus which has various things depending on your technology. It grows and spawns worms which are basically barbarians but a fungal bloom can spawn 10 giant monsters and destroy a giant outpost city in a turn.

But a much more streamlined research and interesting diplomacy system makes this game more varied than CIV and it's my favourite turn based strategy game.

Keeping track of all your designed units is a bit of a pain but only because the interface is just a teensy bit buggy.

Total War series is a good one. But even with a SSD the loadings are awful.

I say the newest Civilization is a very good turn base game.

And there is other games that are good on Android. I don't remember the names.

@lembu90@darktruth007

I see you are a man ( or woman) of culture as well. Theres also that front mission 5 english fan translation.
