I quite liked EU2 and I heard EU3 was basically improved in all aspects. Anyway, I prefer dom3 to both.

Nethack or Angband?

They made an extremely stupid way of conquering territories [you must conquer it and then convince them to sign a peace giving it to you, which is based on war score and some very random throws, so to get 1 province you need to conquer 40 one time and you can get lucky and be losing that 40 provinces to AI and then get white peace and give nothing].

So i guess nobody here likes Victoria? How does EU3 compare to Vicky?

Victoria is probably one of the best game ever created. I find the econimic modell somewhat weak but the game has huge potentials.

Recently incursion. Dungeon Crawl before that. Adom before that.

I think incursion shows a lot of promise. I'm still not sold on the interface, although it has improved. The promising part is that there is so much to do, and almost all of it is fun. If the bugs get worked out, I think it has a shot to rival Crawl.

What's Incursion like? I take it's based on D&D. Army has left me out of the roguelike scene for a while.

I also started with ADOM (tried others, but ADOM was the first serious one), moved to Crawl, and never had patience to try Nethack or *bands. I did have fun with DoomRL and DwarfFortress when they were released, but they got old pretty fast. I'll probably try DF again when the big update comes...

Not sure about the Alpha Centuri sequel yet I do know Sid and crew have hired a developer who focuses purely on improving/creating the Artificial Intelligence. An important step for a great need within all PC games.
They're working on Civilization Revolution at the moment, the console version of Civ. He's thrown around doing a Civ V in the future in interviews, but I haven't seen AC mentioned so I wouldn't count on seeing another AC anytime soon, but we could always be surprised.
