Lemon_Curry: Nice though you can do that in 1701 as well. :)

Maxvorstadt: Didn`t know that, haven`t played it. I tried 1602 and 1503 before, but never really got into those games. I decided to give 1404 a try when I saw it on sale and I didn`t regret it yet.
Still, even though it was not as configurable in 1602 and 1503 (you had a selection of variants of different difficulty), the free, endless game mode always was the central part of the game. The campaigns were nice to have, but most people (including myself) probably played endless mode most in all these games.

eiii: Edit: And I forgot, to make it worse, you cannot give orders when the game is paused. Is that fixed in any other Men of War game?

Ixamyakxim: Are you sure about this?
Yes. I've tried it.

Ixamyakxim: While it's not on sale at the moment have you ever given Soldiers: Heroes of World War II a try? It lacks the "close up" feel of Men of War, and some of the gorgeous visuals, but it's still plenty pretty. And the gameplay feels a bit more "tactical" and closer to what you're looking for.
I prefer simple graphics for this kind of games. The screenshots look good. They somewhat remind me of Blitzkrieg, my favorite game of the genre. I'll have a look at this game. Thanks for the pointer!

avatar
Ixamyakxim: Though I think the game still highly rewards (and requires!) you to set up lines, but then jump in the shoes of one of your guys. They're just far more effective when you do the action gameplay.
As I rather prefer to be the strategic commander and not to do the dirty work of directly controlling individual soldiers in this kind of games, which game does this comment refer to, Men of War or Soldiers: Heroes of World War II?

School is for stupid people.
GOG: Tyrrhia, what fat wallet you have!
Tyrrhia: All the better to spend it during the November / December sales, my GOG!

So yeah, I didn't buy anything this sale. It didn't have as much attraction as the usual big sale, and I'd already spent quite a lot of money on other entertainment stuff. But I will correct that at the end of the year!

Hmm . . .

~turns to think about it~ Everyone I've ever met told me I shouldn't trust any goblin; I hope those were just lies to scare the children away.

Don't you deceive me, goblin, or I'll use your blood to redecorate my walls!

Both :(

In Soldiers you basically do exactly all the same stuff as Men of War - including taking command of your little guys. But it seems like when you AREN'T commanding them, they do perform better than your experience with Men of War. Otherwise, they look like very similar games (except you don't get the sexy visual or "tight in" camera of Men of War in Soldiers).

As a proof of goodwill, I have just bought Inquisitor from the Weekly Staff Picks. (Unfortunately, I have no time to play it, so it shall rest in my backlog for the time being. :P )
