I didnt mean this to dunk on you. Im just saying that even older folks who arent in their twenties anymore can at times enjoy stuff made for kids or teens.

I would be interested. Not 100% sure if I can commit yet -but I am certainly very curious. I have only finished 2 small games against the AI so far. I would still rank myself as complete beginner.

Edit 2 - Scratch that. I wanna play Dom6 regardless of player numbers if you are interested.

I’m finally giving Dominions 6 a proper shot! I played a bit of Dominions 5 before, but I never got particularly good at it or tried multiplayer.

This time, Im planning to dip into multiplayer if I end up enjoying it.

If you’re not familiar with the series, it’s an indie 4X/wargame that started way back in 2001. It’s made by just two devs (super indie vibes), and each new entry has only gotten bigger and better. At this point, there are around 100 playable fantasy nations, which is just massive.

So whats Dominions 6 about? You’re basically a god—you create your own god at the start of the game—and you pick a mythological nation to lead. The goal is to take control of the Thrones of Ascension or become the top god by eliminating the others. Conquer their lands, snuff out their dominion, or claim the Thrones—your path to victory is up to you.

It sounds deceptively simple, but from the moment you choose your nation and create your pretender god, you’ll face a myriad strategic decisions. The graphics feel comfy to me, though many will call them outdated. There is a massive magic system as well. I probably should make a thread about Dominons 6 at some point.

In which ways did you find FP2 worse ? . Cause I didnt enjoy Frostpunk 1 that much and at least on paper Frostpunk 2 looks more interesting to me. Its obviously possible that neither FP1 or FP2 are the right game for me.

How much content / replay value is there in Frostpunk 2 ? Can I experience most of the game in just 10hours or is there much more than that ? So in terms of scope its much grander than the first game right ? Like I can control even multiple cities and have to juggle different factions ? Is the interaction with these factions fun (for a lack of a better word?)

I heard some folks say it even goes a bit into the direction of 4x games maybe.

Any input is welcome

Good thread. I dont have time right now to check my mod subs and compare them to yours. I currently have only 33 mods installed - but Im gonna go throught the stuff you posted and see if there is anything I like.

Anything on your lists you cant live without or that greatly improves the game ?

Yeah I envy folks who just like most shooters. In my case I loved Doom 2016 but I really didnt vibe with Doom Eternal seemed like such a cool game as well. Like I legit cant say if I will enjoy a shooter until I have played it for a bit. Shooters arent one of my main gernes though.

1000x Resist is on my to-do list since everyone seems very positive on it - I mostly play strategy games but also like narrative stuff once in a while.

I want to play Metaphor ReFantanzio but I feel like there is a enhanced editon or something coming one day for it (like with the persona games)

Oh how is Vicky 3 going for you ? I wanted to try and start another game of it during the holidays again (I thought I knew how to play Vicky but since they introduced Mapi Im pretty bad at it)

Boomer shooters are hit and miss for me but I adored Dusk. From the horror setting to the gameplay it was super enjoyable to me. I didnt really click with the others I have tried so far which to be fair was only Amid Evil so far.

OH nice. I really need to put some more time into AoW 4 I played it back during release for like 30h but havent really touched it since then. I did really like what I played during my time though.
