Shows the scale of an Army, their rate of movement and how the snake of an army uncoiled and moved each day. Good illustration of the daily cycle.

AI (Artificial Intelligence) now outperforms human intelligence in TBS Games (Turn Based Strategy). Though competitive chess is played against a clock, we can't really argue that AI is winning because of its time management rather than strategy. AI can beat the world's best players at chess, Go and ...

In my view, there are almost no strategy games, even at Slitherine. The games are all tactical. I believe this is a gaping and unnoticed hole in the games market. By strategic, I mean that the consequences of play have ramifications beyond the battle in which you are fighting. The outcome of the bat...

Wonder if Slitherine should try to get the rights to Master of Orion? Seems like a good moment. It's been more six years since the release of the last game and it doesn't seem they are going to do anything new with it. Thoughts? anguille makes a brilliant suggestion. I hope Slitherine do claim Mast...

Slitherine do not seem to be attending this event. If Slitherine did decide to exhibit, what would be the benefit? What do other publishers and developers hope to gain from a presence there? https://b2b.gamescom.global If it is a question of cost, perhaps Slitherine could establish relations with pe...

Are there any mods to add more authentic insignia to the units?

I think Slitherine don't make it clear enough which content is available with which edition. It could be easily accomplished by providing a table for each game, with the various editions in columns along the top, and DLC/Features in rows along the left, then ticks in the boxes showing what was avail...

Thanks, HoustonRogers. I was reading everything above and was thinking, "This bloke really knows what he is talking about, I hope more people listen to him and that he gains some influence in the games industry." Then I realized I was reading text you quoted from my earlier post!

I thought the Field Marshall Edition provides all the DLC.
The new Axis Operations DLC doesn't seem available in Steam... What needs to happen?

Slitherine or otherwise, are there any good games which model this part of history? The trade, geography and perils cry out for a simulation. https://www.nationalgeographic.org/maps/silk-roads/ https://en.unesco.org/silkroad/silkroad-interactive-map Peter Frankopan's "The Silk Roads" Shoul...

APM test as part of it's core game-play loop... APM? Actions per minute. Doing some easy, repetitive task constantly and throughout the game and that task mattering. For example: If you task was to draw a picture, but every minute you had to do 10 press-ups, the press-ups are an APM test. If you do...

APM?

The problem with real-time games is that they can become mad click-fests if you have to continually micro-manage too many units. It works best if you only have to manage a limited number of units so that you can issue orders such as "go here, go there, attack, defend" etc then sit back mu...

Many developers distinguish games into categories like this. Do you think the distinction is valid? In what sense is there strategy which is absent from games that might be classified as Time-Management? A RTS (Real Time Strategy) game, such as World of Warcraft or Stellaris, often can be paused. Wh...

I'm use an AMD HD6970 with open source drivers. GPU is about 10 years old so, yeah, it's ancient! :D I really need to upgrade but I'm broke, unfortunately, so it will be awhile before that happens. Well done on those Free drivers! I didn't think AMD had Free drivers (equivalent to the Nouveau proje...

You must have an impressively old graphics card! What are you using?

Note that gold indicates level 2 success because OPTION.TXT file requires a tweak. FOG2 crashes the first time it is run but forcing the game to full screen in OPTIONS.TXT fixes the crash. I have almost a 1000 hours on FOG2 with Proton to prove it. :D What is it about FOGII which you love, tomlowsh...

Gold is level 2 success. It's only gold because it requires DXVK support for DX11 to work properly. DXVK is only available on newer graphics cards so FGII doesn't work on my old GPU. It is a lovely game, isn't it, tomlowshang? Thanks for letting us know about that. So if somebody with decent enough...

Platinum!

Gold!
