OT: Anyone know of any other good TBS games??
Though I hate to say it, sometimes I can get a little burned out on SEIV, but I honestly dislike almost all games that aren't a turn-based strategy game. So, here's the question; does anyone know of any other good turn-based strategy games? Below are the ones I have (albeit there's only a couple)
-SEIV
-Galactic Civilizations
Suggestions are very welcome.
GalCiv Lasted me for a month or so when I took a break from SEIV (except for PBW). However, there are several things about GalCiv that....really annoy me. So it's done with for now, and I'm playing SEIV again. But in the future, I'm going to get burned out on it, and need something else to play.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions that are posted.

There are always the old classics, like Master of Orion 1/2 and Master of Magic. Very few worthwhile TBS games have come out in the past few years...

Dominions qualifies under TBS, though it is quite different from SEIV (Dominions emphasises the military, while SEIV is mainly focused on economics).
You might want to look among older games, including some that aren't widely known. Emperor of the Fading Suns for example, or one game whose name I have forgotten (Tales of Balor, or something along these lines; I will look up for the correct name). Then you have Civilization and its siblings, including Alpha Centauri, but I have never been fond of Civilization.

Not strategy, but it is turn-based, and it's probably the greatest game ever made:

Well you could try Civization 3 Conquests. Its quite a mainstream game, but there are a lot of mods out there, which transfer the game into a science fiction world, or even in the warhammer universe. Other than Dom 2, MoO 2 its probably the best TBS game out there, excluding SE 4  |

Graphical roguelikes are just wrong, wrong, wrong. Why? Because one of the distinguishing qualities of roguelikes is text instead of graphics
www.bethsoft.com
A whole line of CRPG's that define the term 'groundbreaking'. www.elderscrolls.com for the latest, Oblivion, which will feature a map editer capable of semi-randomly generating realistic terrain (Check the screenshots), NPC's with a daily schedule; if an NPC is told to eat something in the schedule, they may take actions as varied as buying some food from a store, go out and hunt some grub or pick your or another NPC's pocket and possibly be arrested by the guards. Which could present difficulties for you, if you need them for a quest. And, you can ride horses and therefore probably engage in mounted combat. All of this in a creative and original world with tons of detail.
