What other games complement your Dominions 3?

[cleveland]

Dom3 is way out of genre for me. The last game I was really into was Silent Hunter III, a WWII submarine sim. Stumbled on Dom3 while getting Steel Panthers from Shrapnel.

Wua, Spore is out tomorrow. I wonder if it is going to make me play less Dominions... I doubt it, but I shall give it a try

Age of Wonders & Disciples franchises.

I find Sword of the Stars compliments it quite nicely. They're similar in some ways, very different in others, and between them cover all my turn based strategy needs in both scifi and fantasy.

I occasionally play NWN2, too. But BG series games were better. Most single-player RPGs have gone down in quality, probably because resources are now being shifted to MMORPG.

I got tired of Civ IV very quickly, because of 1) the badly balanced units, and 2) the too-simple, restricted character of the tactical battles.

I am a huge fan of fantasy TBS games and have owned virtually every one of them since MoM, but I've hated every HoMM series I've played. There are too many problems to count, but among the foremost I hated the stack system both for aesthetic and game-play reasons.

Isn't Stardock doing one? Also, there are rumors that the makers of Fantasy Wars have acquired the trademark from Atari.

No. Stardock expressed interest in acquiring the license, but ultimately didn't do it.

While Stardock decided not to pursue the MoM license (which I already implied saying that the makers of Fantasy Wars is rumored to have acquired the MoM license), the company is making a MoM clone right now designated "Not MoM."
