Personally, I prefer Aurora and Distant Worlds: Universe. Paradox games are fantastic but these are Dwarf Fortress-level detail (if you’re into that sort of thing).
- TeMPOraL 5y ago> I prefer Aurora Is this that VB game that got eventually rebooted(?) in C#, that's full of annoying little glitches[0] that would be trivial to fix if the author wasn't aggressively against any and all kinds of modding? I'm definitely looking for a 4X equivalent of Dwarf Fortress. Stellaris ain't it - I like it, but it gets too repetitive after first longer game, because the mechanics is just rock-paper-scissors with a hundred thousand numerical modifiers that have little qualitative impact on gameplay. -- Like some number handling within the game being locale-dependent, so that unless you set your system locale to en_GB, it might behave unpredictably.
- gspr 5y agoOoh, interesting. I see Distant Worlds 2 is slated for release this year. I'll try it when it's out! Thanks.
- shrimp_emoji 5y agoCan't possibly be as good. We know how this goes.
- fakedang 5y agoAoE2 was better than AOE though. Same goes for Civ 5 vs Civ 4.
