List of strategy games

[Severian Silk]

I need a list of turn-based strategy games that do not appear on this list. Please don't include tactics games like Silent Storm. Here is another list if you need to refresh your memory. (I don't recognize most of those games.)

 

[Micmu]

Disciples (2).

 

[Seboss]

nvm, it's on the list.

 

[LCJr.]

Slitherine Strategies: Suppose you could call it the Legion series.

Legion
Legion Gold
Chariots of War
Spartan
Gates of Troy


A Sharp

King of Dragon Pass


KOEI, a few of these are on the list.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms 1-10
Bandit Kings of Ancient China
Nobunaga's Ambition 1-3, maybe more?
Ghengis Khan 1-2?
Operation Europe
Liberty or Death
L'Empereur
Gemfire
Celtic Tales:Balor the Evil Eye
Pacific Theatre of Operations(PTO) 1-2, maybe more?

Aerobiz and Aerobiz Supersonic(economic)


Speaking of economic you need to add the Patrician series.

None of the Paradox games are TB like Crusader Kings and Victoria. Several of the games on the "other list" are RT.

SweCol2, another Colonization take off. http://www.swecol2.com/news.php

Battle Isle series? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Isle
Battle Isle remakes
Advanced Strategic Command http://asc-hq.org/
Crimson Fields http://crimson.seul.org/

General series?

Panzer General
Panzer General 3D
Allied General
Pacific General
Peoples General
Star General
Fantasy General

LGeneral opensource version of Panzer General http://lgames.sourceforge.net/index.php ... t=LGeneral

X-Com? Has a pretty good strategy component.

Peoples Tactics http://www.peoplestactics.com/

 

[The Dude]

Chaos Overlords
Deadlock 1 and 2
King's Bounty
Lords of Magic
Imperialism 1 and 2


How about games where the strategic part is turnbased while the tactical part is RT? Stuff like Imperium Galactica and Sword of the Stars?

 

[Severian Silk]

Great work! Thanks!

How about games where the strategic part is turnbased while the tactical part is RT? Stuff like Imperium Galactica and Sword of the Stars?

I guess I'll go ahead and add those too. Total War was up there, but someone removed it.

 

[AZ]

Dominions 1-2-3

 

[taxacaria]

- afaik Europa UniversalisI/II isn't RT, it's TB.
- afaik Supremacy is RT, not TB

I'm missing
Uncommon Valor (TB Strategy)
Napoleon (TB Strategy)
World at War [Gary Grigsby] (TB Strategy)
Maxx I/II (TB Strategy)
Spaceward ho! (TB Strategy)
Empire (TB Strategy)
UMS - Universal Military Simulator (TB Strategy)
Imperium (TB Strategy)
Ascendancy (TB Strategy)
Planet's Edge (RT/TB Strategy/Tactics/RPG mix ) - Space combat in RT, ground combat (party) in TB-RPG-style, quests and riddles, but recource management and shipdesign. A rare mix.
Birthright [Sierra] (TB Strategy/RPG mix ) - TB Strategy with some quests (with RPG chars and RT combat)
Outpost series [Sierra] (RT Strategy)

 

[LCJr.]

- afaik Europa UniversalisI/II isn't RT, it's TB.

EU1, EU2, HOI1, HOI2, HOIDD, Crusader Kings, Two Thrones, Crown of North and Victoria are all realtime. You can speed up or slow down the passage of time or even pause it. But realtime it is and realtime it shall stay.

 

[taxacaria]

hm, I thought there was a TB-Option in EU (Stop after each round), but I'm not really sure.

 

[Severian Silk]

What to do about Europa Universalis and its ilk? They're real-time, yet the don't really fit in the RTS genre. Also can't remember whether War! Age of Imperialism is turn-based or not.

I'm missing
Uncommon Valor (TB Strategy)
Napoleon (TB Strategy)
World at War [Gary Grigsby] (TB Strategy)
Maxx I/II (TB Strategy)
Spaceward ho! (TB Strategy)
Empire (TB Strategy)
UMS - Universal Military Simulator (TB Strategy)
Imperium (TB Strategy)
Ascendancy (TB Strategy)
Planet's Edge (RT/TB Strategy/Tactics/RPG mix ) - Space combat in RT, ground combat (party) in TB-RPG-style, quests and riddles, but recource management and shipdesign. A rare mix.
Birthright [Sierra] (TB Strategy/RPG mix ) - TB Strategy with some quests (with RPG chars and RT combat)
Outpost series [Sierra] (RT Strategy)

There's three Napoleon games: one for the Game Boy Advance, an RTS and this.
Are you sure that MAXX is spelled with two Xs?
Which Empire game are you talking about?
Is this the imperium game you're talking about?
Planet's Edge is labeled an RPG. What's your take on this?

 

[Cthulhugoat]

M.A.X., not Maxx.

 

[The Dude]

BTW, Just remembered that Imperium Galactica 2 is totally RT.

 

[taxacaria]

M.A.X., not Maxx.

Right.


@Mikhail

Empire - first version 1977 DOS

Imperium - about 1980, content as described in your link (play a galactic Emperor), but I've played it in single player version, not via email.

Planet's edge is a genre mix, it's not a traditional RPG. Chars have random stats, but didn't learn, act like soldiers and will be replaced by new chars everytime your ship crashes. There are quests and riddles, but there is recource transport via spaceship and RT space combat, too. You can build spaceships and equip them as you like, but only one is in use at same time with your current team inside. Ground combat is like a tactical TB game sometimes, the quests are RPG/Adventure style. There are several space sectors with enemies of different tech-levels, which are defending planets with recources and planets with quest content&landing options.
You have to destroy the defending ships to get access to the planets.
You can rebuild looted weaponry and equipment, and you can upgrade tech level by stolen construction plans. You have a recource depot, where you can build equipment for your team, and a shipyard to build spaceship parts and assemble ships.
So it's difficult to make a decision here.

Napoleon : RT-Tactics/Strategy, dev Collision Studios, publisher atari (worst game ever, ratings about 30, but has videos from the Napoleon movie)
And there is a Battle Simulator with same title : http://www.pbs.org/empires/napoleon/n_war/ibs/

BTW, Just remembered that Imperium Galactica 2 is totally RT.

IG1 is RT, too - but has a pause function.

 

[Severian Silk]

There are two RTSs called Napoleon!

Anyway, the list is starting to look good. I'm going to take a break, *gasp*.

[edit]
BTW, I also added a short Turn-based vs. Real-time section to the turn-based strategy article. I would like you to critique it. (I think it's poorly written.)

Battle Isle series? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Isle
Battle Isle remakes
Advanced Strategic Command http://asc-hq.org/
Crimson Fields http://crimson.seul.org/

General series?

Panzer General
Panzer General 3D

LGeneral opensource version of Panzer General http://lgames.sourceforge.net/index.php ... t=LGeneral

X-Com? Has a pretty good strategy component.

Peoples Tactics http://www.peoplestactics.com/

I listed all these under the tactics list. Do they have strategic components, too?

 

[mirrorshades]

Here are a few off the top of my head:

Axis & Allies (1998)
Axis & Allies: Iron Blitz
Battle for Wesnoth
Making History: The Calm & The Storm
The Operational Art of War Series
Triple A (Axis & Allies clone)

Also, Sourceforge has a TBS category:

Some of them are fuzzy as to what genre they are.

BTW A Sharp is the company that made King of Dragon Pass. Sorry for the confusion.

There were at least 4 PTO games. Probably more.

People's Tactics is strategy.

If the Total War Series is TB Strategy than X-com is even more so. You build bases, conduct research, hire and fire people, produce/buy/sell items. A lot goes on outside the tactical battles.

The General series I'm undecided on. They don't really strike me as tactical games either. Combat is a little too abstract. Still only strategy choices are your battleplan and what units to add to your army.

Been too long since I played ASC and Crimson Fields. I seem to remember unit building units though.

 

[taxacaria]

I remember
Reunion (RT Strategy), [dev Digital reality]
X- beyond the frontier, X-tension, X²-The Threat, X³-Reunion (RT Strategy) [Egosoft]
7th Legion (RT Tactics)
and there are many, many more.

If you're looking for more strategy games, go to "The Legacy" and make a search
(search option Genre/ Basic : "Strategie", then click on "suchen", it's a german site)
They have 2.209 older strategy games in database. >>click<< :D

btw - Accidently I found "Imperium" there : released 1990 by electronic arts

 

[Severian Silk]

I wouldn't be able to tell the games apart if I looked at that site.

 

[LCJr.]

Lords of the Realm series

Fantasy Empires

Need to figure out what where Paradox games go. You've got Crusader Kings and Victoria under TB. EU, HOI, Two Thrones, Crown of North, Crusasder Kings and Victoria under RTS.

RTS, Seven Kingdoms series.

RTT, Starfleet Command series.

 

[Severian Silk]

You've got Crusader Kings and Victoria under TB. EU, HOI, Two Thrones, Crown of North, Crusasder Kings and Victoria under RTS.

Are you saying this is the correct way of listing them?

 

[LCJr.]

I'm saying you're being inconsistent. They're all built off the EU engine. And they're all RTS's whether we like the term being applied to them or not. But if you want to list them under both categories then list all of them under both categories.

 

[Severian Silk]

Be more clear next time.

Is The Patrician RT or TB?
How about Sid Meier's Pirates! ?

Here's one you probably never heard of:
Tanktics: Computer Game of Armored Combat on the Eastern Front

 

[KazikluBey]

Patrician 2 and 3 are RT, as is at least the latest version of Pirates! - I would have a very difficult time labeling Pirates! as a strategy game though. It's practically a single ship combat simulator with various mini-games tacked on, if memory serves, and the Wikipedia entry on the original seems to back me up on it.
