I assume that by analogue you mean pen and paper tabletop roleplaying games. If this is so your list is woefully short, and with no write in option.

There were only two suggestions for "real world" games in the suggestions thread. I meant to put an "other" option, but I misentered a number, and didn't want to retype all the prior poll entries...

You can certainly add a write-in to the thread. There's no way to include write-ins in the actual poll regardless of whether an "other" option is present, so just put it in a reply.

Eh - couldn't find any information on Sword of the Stars on the wiki, except it's 4X and it isn't done. Hard to vote for it based solely on that information. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

This press release might help...

There's also a discussion in the SE4/5 forums here at Shrapnel about SotS...

To all of you who listed Wesnoth -- you should try out the free beta for Land of Legends! They're fairly similar, though I bet you can guess which one I like more. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I play both too and can confirm they're somewhat similar in regard to their principles. They play fairly differently though - LoL being much faster, with smaller maps and no RPG elements, but more tactical choices in battle - due to the fact that many creatures have ranged attacks/spells (sometimes with as far a range as 5-6 squares), you don't have to stick with combat in adjacent hexes.

Both are pretty cool (but only one is free ...) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

2006 Anticipated Games Poll is finished
 
It ended with January... so these results are final.

The big winners (with correct percentage calculations) appear to be:

Space Empires V (68%)
Dominions III (66%)
Civilization 4 (44%)
TES IV: Oblivion (34%)
Galactic Civs II (27%)
Battle for Wesnoth (27%)
Neverwinter Nights 2 (25%)

Bear in mind there is a rather harsh sampling bias, due to my choice of threads http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif Regardless, the conclusion is unchanged - Shrapnel fans are a highly anomalous group. For evidence, please note Item #1: The World of Warcraft expansion pack tied with "Galley Battles" and "Hearts of Iron 2", neither of which can be found at your local Wallmart =)
