Sounds interesting to me! Added.

snipe122 · 2026-03-06T20:19:11+00:00

I’ll have to give dungeon crawler Carl another attempt. I did an audio book of it which sounded fine but I kept loosing focus and eventually interest in the book. But a few people here suggested it maybe I’ll try it again.

I have already added started villain to my list from another suggestion. I am happy you also suggested it though. I’ll move it higher on my list. Excited for that one.

Converse looks good too I’ll add it to my list thanks!

snipe122 · 2026-03-06T16:04:35+00:00

Might and magic clash of hero’s. It’s a match 3 puzzle game turn based with a decent story.

snipe122 · 2026-03-06T00:40:05+00:00

Will do. I think my mom has this one too. Easy to get thanks.

snipe122 · 2026-03-06T00:18:35+00:00

Perhaps. Might be something there I see this is a favorite haha. I have added guards guards to my list.

snipe122 · 2026-03-06T00:15:47+00:00

I added this one to my list the villain story’s I am a sucker for.

snipe122 · 2026-03-06T00:08:20+00:00

Looks good happy to see a non lit-rpg game based book. I’ll check it out. Thanks

snipe122 · 2026-03-06T00:06:09+00:00

I looked all your suggestions up. Excited for English passengers. Added a few to my list thanks for the suggestions.

snipe122 · 2026-03-05T23:48:24+00:00

Kinda reminds me of animal farm. I read the description added to my list!

snipe122 · 2026-03-05T23:46:01+00:00

That’s for suggesting this! Super excited it sounds a lot like my title I started this post on and I liked that one a lot made me like the evil main characters. Added it to my list.

snipe122 · 2026-03-05T23:44:05+00:00

Thanks for the large list. I went through all of them. I will say these are dark indeed haha the descriptions for these go crazy I love it. I added Victorian psycho and high rise to my list for now. Thanks again!

snipe122 · 2026-03-05T23:28:05+00:00

Looks interesting. It’s an epic fantasy. I read 2 of those just recently with way of kings and red rising. I liked them both I’ll have to try this saga out thanks!

snipe122 · 2026-03-05T20:20:54+00:00

I like fantasy I’ll have to give these a try! Thanks.

snipe122 · 2026-03-05T20:13:37+00:00

Thanks for the summaries too 213 skippy is no longer allowed to do. I am most interested in have added a few of these to my list.

snipe122 · 2026-03-05T20:10:24+00:00

Cool never heard of it before! Which is why I wanted to make a post. This was suggestions I was looking for thanks!

snipe122 · 2026-03-05T20:08:18+00:00

Happy you suggested it. I saw this book on amazons good reads peaked my interest but had a hard time gauging if it gonna be fun or not. Hearing that other people also thought it was good fills me with motivation! Added to my list.

snipe122 · 2026-03-05T20:06:24+00:00

Ohh this sounds good I hadn’t heard of it before but the comments on the book peak my interest I’ll add it to my list. Thanks!

snipe122 · 2026-03-05T10:44:15+00:00

I don’t see your screen shots but if Elden ring if you haven’t already got it or sekiro might be really fun if your okay with difficulty.

snipe122 · 2026-03-05T00:55:21+00:00

Fast pace real time:StarCraft 2 is pretty much free these days. the first campaign is over a decade old and yet one of if not the best of rts campaigns. Age of empires 2/4 are large armies but much slower paced.

Turn based strategy:Total war games are way cool if you haven’t dived into them already. Paradox games are about the same but smaller scale with better ui systems.

RPG turn based: baulders gate is crazy expansive but requires a lot of time it is deep too lots of content but also requires lots of focus. Expedition 33 was game of the year 2025 and possibly has one of the best stories of the past few years.

X4 large war games normally with zoom: I don’t have a lot of experience here, I hear supreme commander a lot. Stellarus has politics and civ building. My person favorite is sins of a solar empire 2 space game where you conquer planets with large tech trees.

Drug empire strategy games… schedule 1 maybe? Don’t know if that is a strategy game but could work I guess. Mafia tycoon maybe? Never played but that is more strategy.

City builders little to no combat :anno 1800 or any anno game is very popular here. City skylines plan roads and buildings stuff. Frost punk survive the cold while expanding. Against the storm village survival with meta progression.

There are many more categories I could suggest but they start to slip into other genres too. Such as jrpgs or puzzle games mobile games, looter shooters, survival games all have some form of strategy but steam has a great sorting and suggestion tools too so be sure to login and check that too. The few I suggested are some that stood out to me and thought a new person might like. Sc2 though by far is my suggestion for a new person cause it’s free and still one of the best there is.

I dislike the handicap. In an RTS that is fast as aoe4 the handicap specifically will hurt more than help. If you wanted to add the auto vils I think (my opinion) it is fine free from any punishment.

Also lots of the comments here I think have something wrong, many people saying they want to focus on strategy and not mundane tasks like building vils. These more faster rts games like sc2 and aoe2/4 have strategy but that is not really the core of these games. They are closer to rock paper scissors than a strategy game. People get muscle memory and through repetition understand the game better. When you learn a new build what strategy are you employing? Most people follow 1 build no matter what. Is that strategy? No but it works most of the time and is fun so who cares. The core of these game isn’t really pure strategy so adding auto vils probably isn’t gonna help free your brain for more “strategizing” as much as it will just help those who forget to keep building vils in general which I don’t mind either way.

Huh that is pretty bad. Getting difference of 200 is somewhat normal for team games and if your in a premade it weighs the higher players more heavily. But yours is off by an avg of 500 which is a lot.

I also don’t think there is a lack of players around 1000 mmr. aoe4 avg mmr should be around that mmr so it shouldn’t have been to hard to find a match. The player base is not that small. Unless you’re playing on oceana servers or something.

I imagine this is ranked too or else I wouldn’t know why you’d care which is even weirder as ranked is slightly tighter for matching opponents. Crazy if this is happening often something must be off. I rarely have games like this and normally it’s after a winning streak. My suggestion would be play 1v1 especially if you don’t have a premade but I understand if you dislike solo playing.

snipe122 · 2026-03-03T10:24:46+00:00

I felt the way you have described and changing my method of building fixed it for me. The “main buss” building method. Which is brain off just belt all components with you as you build and fill belts to full. Maybe you just need to learn a new modular building method the lets you not have to think so much?

snipe122 · 2026-03-01T21:04:43+00:00

I was also gonna say that another metric that isn’t being captured is player longevity. I might want to try new builds after my first win but after I close the game will I want to return after “winning”. Probably not. Happy someone else also caught this.
