IrrationalPie:
Is it any good?

LTK:
It's extremely competent and a ton of fun, but lacks the features that would truly give it depth. Like: multiplayer, diplomacy worth a damn, and more customisability in skirmishes, all of which is (hopefully) in the pipeline. Even so, it takes longer than expected to get boring. Just about up until now, in fact.

I'm pretty sure I just figured out what determines when the Lightning Bolt causes a combo. By now I'm the last person left on the wiki who's trying to figure it out. I wonder if multiplayer is too far away for this knowledge to give me an advantage.

schimmy:
It's a neat game. Like LTK says, it's very competent, but lacks depth. The only problem I really have with it is that the diplomacy is pretty much completely lacking. I can't really tell the difference between an alliance and just being neutral, except that an alliance means the AI isn't likely to spontaneously declare war on you. Beyond that, there's not much use for diplomacy, except if you've not balanced your economy well, and have far too much of one resource, and far too little of another.

Still, I've sunk a fair few hours into it so far, and enjoyed all of them. It's just not really got that spark that made me get addicted to the Civ games. There just doesn't seem like there's a lot of variation in how you can play them game. You just need to make huge land grabs, and rush to be able to produce the most powerful units. Tactics are fairly negligible, so far as I can tell - the winner of the game is the one that can out-produce everyone else.

Gregorio:
I snagged up the Men of War pack on a whim today, and I have to say that it's exactly what I've been wanting in an RTS forever. No base-building at all, just using the correct units to cover and maneuver, laying down defenses, attacking/counterattacking, etc. It's just so perfect for what I've been wanting.

Blyss:
I'm going to date myself here - but my favorite strategy titles have been, X-com (can't recommend it enough, and can't wait for the reboot), Master of Orion 1 (2 was more than a little imbalanced), and Panzer General.  All of these gave me hours and hours of fun and strategy filled nights.
