Finished with Elden Ring, for good for now I think. Picked up Cobalt Core to scratch the ever-present deck builder/roguelike itch. I keep trying Dwarf Fortress and Rimworld, but I end up bouncing off those because I get bored/frustrated setting up priorities and zones and all that just to watch things go awry because someone didn't want to build a bedroom/ bathroom/ grave.
Been looking for a 4X I can dive into, really want to try Dominions 6 while the multiplayer is still fresh and decently populated, but I have no income so I've been having to get my games off the high seas so to speak, and Dom 6 is niche enough that I haven't found any that work. Anyone have suggestions for other games in that vein?
I can't think of many games that are like Dominions 6, except Conquest of Elysium 5 (same devs), which is a bit different and simpler.
If you mean 4X games in general, Stars in Shadow is currently very cheap—it's about 6€ for me on Steam (including its DLC). It's a Master of Orion 1-2 inspired 4X game made by a single dev. One nice thing about it is you can play a game rather quickly, so no 10+ hour sessions for a full game.
I like it quite a bit, but the scope is a bit smaller, so it's not a game for 300+ hours in my opinion.
I love 4X/Grand Strategy games, so if you give me more to work with, I can give you better recommendations.
Cobalt Core is super fun!
Sins of a Solar Empire? It's an RTS/4X hybrid!
