Favorite kind of strategy game?
I was talking to a friend that looking at the strategy tag on steam right now is just sad. A bunch of titles that although great have no resemblance to strategy at all, like the thousand of management/simulation games included. The real strategy games are old/hd remakes or new indie titles that could hit mainstream status.
I'd apply for the group, but I love management/simulation strategy games waaaayy more than what you consider ""real"" strategy games.

If you have between 20-30 years like me, you probably played a bunch of strategy games. The early 90s was the golden age of the genre. Games like AoE, Warcraft, Warhammer, HoMM, Civ, etc would came out every year with big campaigns. Any 90s kid probably spent hundred of hours playing those titles and their scenarios (dota, asymmetrical 4x1s and TDs just to name a few) online.

With that said, in 2016 CIV 6 was the top game by revenue. Paradox got 5 games in the top 100 most sold game on steam. Starcraft and TW: Warhammer sold really well, AoE2HD had thousands of people playing every day and to top it all of, in 2017 for the first time in I don't even know how many year, 2 AAA RTS (DoW3/Halo Wars 2) will be released!
One of my new year's resolution is to play more strategy games and get more people to do the same. Therefore, I'll be doing some strategy games giveaways! I'm not sure for how long nor how many. Don't expect any CIV6 copies, I'm not that rich. xD
To start, here's a copy of one of my favorite games of all time. I spent countless hours playing this game.(I actually prefer the GOG + HD patch version instead of this HD remake on steam, but we're on steamgifts and no GOGgifts yet).
I'd also like to find more people to play those games. If you want to play more of those kind of games, let's get together to do some multiplayer matches! (should I put this thread on the let's play together category?)
Ok, after some encouragement, I've decided to create a group focused on strategy games, so we can play together, share news and create GAs for strategy games. Tell me if you want an invite!
LVL 1 - HoMM 3 HD
TL,DR: Strategy games GAs! 1 GA/month. January GA ending in less than a week. Let's see if we can break a 1000 entries for a strategy game!
