    Default Looking for a new Strategy Game

    Hello everybody,

    i am looking for a special kind of strategy game for a long time now, and havent found anything yet, why i decided to ask an experienced community.

    Does anybody of you know, if there is a good strategy game that

    ° is turn-based
    ° takes place on a compact playground, but is deep and hard to master
    ° has a strong ai or active community to play against
    ° plays in a fantasy universe
    ° contains as little luck and randomness (f.e. hidden cards on the opponents hand) as possible.
    ° is fun to play and well balanced and developed

    and that

    ° isnt grand strategy (like Civilization)
    ° isnt old enough to have to be emulated (like Xcom)
    ° doesnt contain (or at least much) kingdom administration (like Heroes of Might and Magic and Age of Wonders)



    To give you an idea of my taste, hera are a few examples of games i like, but not enough to keep playing them:

    ° Chess, great game without luck, but too sterile for my taste
    ° Zatikon, a kind of fantasy chess and generally perfect for me, but with terrible graphics and windowed.
    ° Battle for Wesnoth, a nice game but contains too much luck.
    ° Magic the Gathering, expensive as hell and contains too much random elements.
    ° Cabals, another form of Action-Chess. But, besides the poor developement, the hidden opponents hand makes it impossible to plan the own strategy properly.


    Thanks in advance and greetings to everybody

    Wow, you have exactly what you want in mind down to the details. Impressive. I have not yet found a game like this but if I do, I will be sure to let you know about it. Good luck on your quest!

    Xcom was rebooted:

    XCOM: Enemy Unknown on Steam

    It has an online multiplayer as well. If you like that style of game you can also try pretty much all tactics RPGs, finding good online ones might be hard but classic games are all over the place.

    FFT
    disgaea
    Front Mission
    Fallout Tactics
    Phantom Brave
    La Pucelle Tacticzs
    Fire emblem


    Actually the new fire emblem is pretty good.
