Can anyone name any good strategy games released in the last year that I may have missed due to my immersion in Dom 3?

Does SE5 count?

SE5 does not count. Big disappointment over SE4

Are you saying this because of the numerous bugs at the original release (most of which have by now been fixed), or for other reasons?

It's essentially the same game with different graphics. More like a patch than a new game. It didn't add any new content. It feels wrong to call it a new game.

I thought it was a great example of the 3D comment. It stepped up the graphics to the point that it did not receive the community modding support that SEIV had. And mods was what made SEIV worthwhile.

Bugs - and i'd say some of them are still not fixed. But mainly because it's a big stepback comparing to SE4 in terms of required micromanagement and user interface useability, without anything really improved over it.

I loved SE4, especially with all the mods for it. SE5 feels like a step backward to me. I don't hate it, but it didn't grab me like SE4, Dom2, and Dom3 did.

I too lament the decline in turn-based games (I'm an old fart too). And while I do play some RTS games, I don't feel they are all that strategic.
