I've heard good things about this game but it doesn't seem easy to play in 2021. One of the few games I set out to play on PC and gave up before I found a working way to do it.
Correct!My vote: Ogre Battle: The March of the Black Queen
Yeah, sadly due to licensing issues it got completely delisted.
I still have a physical copy, it's actually the only physical PC game I still own.
Right now the only 2 options are to track down a second hand physical copy or just pirate it.
Every time there's some new LOTR project I cross my fingers that the increased interest in the franchise will make someone fix things behind the scenes and arrange for a digital re release.
Strategy: a: the science and art of employing the political, economic, psychological, and military forces of a nation or group of nations to afford the maximum support to adopted policies in peace or war
b: the science and art of military command exercised to meet the enemy in combat under advantageous conditions
Tactics: a: the science and art of disposing and maneuvering forces in combat
b: the art or skill of employing available means to accomplish an end
Wow wow wow, hold on here, I agree with your idea of tactics games, but strategy games are mostly games that involve thinking and planning, and Pikmin and Company of Heroes certainly fit that bill, the more strategic you are in those games the better you do, why don't you view them as strategy, CoH as a tactics game?Strategy in the title, OP put a ton of tactics game in the list.
Strategy != Tactics.
All of the following, I would consider to be mainly Tactics games:
- Final Fantasy Tactics
- Advance Wars
- Xcom: Enemy Unknown
- Company of Heroes
In Tactics the big difference is that you are mostly working with what you've got to achieve a specific end.
Whereas in Strategy you are building something that you'll later use in multiple ways.
Tactical games tend to be built with some way of accomplishing a set goal and some sense of Fairness.
Whereas in Strategy game you are playing to give yourself an unfair advantage as much as possible in order to win.
And Pikmin is neither a Tactics or a Strategy game. It's a puzzle game disguised as a Tactics game.
This for me as well.Total Annihilation is missing. "Other" then.
Probably my favorite PC game of all time.Dungeon Keeper
