Default Re: OT, what games r u wating 4 now?

I wonder if they'll change the battle mechanics in Disciples III. I liked the first two installments but the battles are too abstracted for my taste.

And sorry for the typo, of course I'm waiting for HOMM V, not IV. IV is only good for MP (if at all) because it lacks AI, you're basically playing against the maps not vs. AI.

I have played Nival's previous games, the etherlords ones, and they were nice. Very good graphics and some intresting ideas. overall I liked them for a while.
I liked their decision to put dark elves city in HOMM V.

As for MOM-II, I had the briefest of time when I hoped stardock will do it, but it turned out to be yet another disappontment.

My greatest expectations are from Dominions III.
Now with the hugh market for games today, that fact is meaningful. It either means that good strategy games are on the extinction list or that I've become some sort of a freak with weird taste for content and depth.

While I have to agree that HoMM4 fell VERY short or expectations, I still enjoyed it for it's own sake. Though it didn't come close to HoMM3 (let alone HoMM2!), I've still had a lot of fun with it - particularly with fan created maps, and especially after applying the Equilibrium mod.

Haha. Yes, I feel kind of the same way. I run into Bruce Geryk's strategy tastes to look for upcoming new 'strategy' games of various levels of intensity.

Though I do play other things than the hardcore strategy (I just got a 360) and enjoy them, it seems that a really good strategy game of any sort of package deal are few and far between.

Luckily we also got Civ4 recently.

Oh, and in case it's not obvious for infidels: I'm also waiting for Deadly Rooms Of Death: The City Beneath. (DROD:TCB). The best puzzle game ever.
