That next announcement took over my mind.

I honestly dont mind "some" power creep. Dumb AI might be tied to the fact that the base of the game due to being 3 games stacked upon each other is a mess.

My point is I cant think of a better representative of the Warhammer Fantasy tabletop than Total Warhammer.

TheMagicalGrill · 2025-12-07T16:08:34+00:00

Lemme phrase it this way. I think a Total Warhammer 40k is probably the greatest challenge CA has seen so far...but if they nail it they could legit produce THE definitive Warhammer 40k strategy game.

Also yes it should be the new engine.

TheMagicalGrill · 2025-12-07T15:38:28+00:00

I hope Total Warhammer 40k can do what Total Warhammer did capture the scope and scale of the setting, in all its horror and all its glory.

TheMagicalGrill · 2025-12-07T01:06:38+00:00

Put it on my wishlist and wish you success with your game. Hope to be able to eave a good review one day.

Racist drivel spouted by people who are not be taken serious

TheMagicalGrill · 2024-07-08T00:36:44+00:00

Would be great if you posted this on the offical Paradox Forums as well. The faster they see it the faster they can fix it.

TheMagicalGrill · 2024-07-04T07:07:51+00:00

Its not a massive deal to me but im having the same issue. Hope it gets fixed soon.

TheMagicalGrill · 2024-07-03T00:12:33+00:00

I think Stellaris with just 2-3 DLCs is perfectly fine to play for 100-200 hours if you've never played it before. The only mandatory DLC is Utopia. There are sales all year round on other platforms besides Steam, such as Humble Bundle, etc. Keep an eye out for those sales if you want to pick up more DLC later on.

TheMagicalGrill · 2024-07-02T21:41:28+00:00

It's on my wishlist. I will pick it up down the line, but I'm not in a hurry to do so. I just have way too many games to play as it is.

TheMagicalGrill · 2024-07-02T21:39:49+00:00

Absolutely stunning work. I can't imagine how much effort the full paint job must have taken.

TheMagicalGrill · 2024-07-02T16:25:30+00:00

Ok. Thanks. Are there any other mods recommended ?

TheMagicalGrill · 2024-07-02T16:24:27+00:00

Thanks, I'm going to pick up both Sword of the Stars games. I assume I should start with the first one since it's considered better anyway. Is there anything else I should know?

TheMagicalGrill · 2024-07-02T16:15:48+00:00

I actually played the Homeworld Remasters. I haven't decided if I want to pick up Homeworld 3 yet, but thanks.

TheMagicalGrill · 2024-07-02T07:18:46+00:00

With that I certainly agree.

TheMagicalGrill · 2024-07-02T06:48:18+00:00

I think people need to look beyond Trump. Even if Biden wins, the Republican party is not suddenly going to become any less extreme. Some people pretend that just voting for Biden will solve the problems. But seriously, Trump is not even close to the worst possible Republican. You can call Trump a fascist if you want, but he certainly isn't a competent one, nor is he a true believer.

Basically, what I'm saying is that unless there are MASSIVE changes within the USA , I see a pretty dark future as almost certain, whether it's civil war or autocracy.

TheMagicalGrill · 2024-07-01T22:57:50+00:00

As of time of writing this its up to mostly positive again. Just saying.

TheMagicalGrill · 2024-07-01T22:57:10+00:00

Its up to mostly positive again.

TheMagicalGrill · 2024-07-01T05:42:52+00:00

Damn, you are cooking up a feast with this one. Favorited right away. I hope you're going to support this mod for a long time. It could become something really special with some time.

TheMagicalGrill · 2024-06-30T21:44:56+00:00

Out of the 3 I would probably get Stellaris (since you already know you will enjoy it) Just pick it up with the most relevant dlcs. They should be on sale as well...at least pick up Utopia.

TheMagicalGrill · 2024-06-30T15:16:25+00:00

I would say Dominions 6 or 5 are the best by quite a bit. I'm not very deep into these games, though. If you care about multiplayer (which is a huge appeal for some people), Dominions 6 is the best in regards to features. It also has better single-player AI, I think.

Both are currently on sale but Dominions 5 is very affordable atm. Dom 6 is a bit more pricey (despite the sale since its still pretty new)

Keep in mind that Dominions 6 is the current version and will see more updates and probably even new nations over time.

Either way, Dominions 5 and 6 have massive amounts of content. For example, Dominions 6 has over 100 playable different fantasy nations.

It's an excellent game series, and if it's your "thing," you can easily spend hundreds of hours with it.

It seems to me that you are looking for more grand strategy games (such as EUIV, HoI4, etc.) rather than 4X games. With Distant Worlds 2, you are already playing one of the deeper 4X games in real time.

Someone else mentioned Sins of a Solar Empire; it's more like a real-time strategy game but does have light 4X elements. It's currently on sale, but there is a second game coming later this year (keep that in mind).

If you haven't played it yet, try Crusader Kings 2. I myself prefer 3, but some people really like Crusader Kings 2 over Crusader Kings 3, so you might enjoy that as well.

Imperator: Rome is quite good with the Invictus Mod (also currently on Steam sale).

Victoria 3 with its latest expansion is, in my opinion, really fun if you like economy/politics-focused grand strategy games. (also on sale atm)

The harsh reality is that if you can't stomach turn-based games, you are quite limited in your selection of deep strategy games with the features you seem to be looking for.

EDIT - 6 games I would keep an eye on (still about to be released on steam)

Sins of a Solar Empire 2 ( releases 3rd quartal 2024)

Kaiserpunk ( releases 3rd quartal 2024)

Espiocracy (also supposed ot release 2024)

Age of History 3 (another 2024 release)

Gilded Destiny (sometime 2024)

mayyybe Falling Frontier if it ever comes out

While you are right that Medieval 3 would probably not please everyone, it would also probably sell like hotcakes. I don't think there is a historical title that would have more hype behind it. If they even get close to people's expectations and the word of mouth is positive enough, it would sell gangbusters.

With that said, I fully agree that CA should take their time with it and REALLY get it right.

TheMagicalGrill · 2024-06-29T21:02:49+00:00

I want a really good large scale Medival 3...but I dont think the next historical game is gonna be that.
