A fresh, addictive take on strategy
How many hours have I sunk into this game? Good thing Galaxy doesn't track hours played offline, I'd be appalled at myself otherwise! With a surprisingly complete (or complex?) approach, FOG:Empires is a grand strategy game which doesn't necessarily come to the full 4X genre - the last X for eXterminate is not an absolute necessity. Victory is defined by legacy, a points system that can be accumulated through culture-rich territories or some buildings including wonders. Culture, money, food or infrastructure are "resources" produced locally through the assigning of each region's population to work on them. You can switch their work area anytime or even form provinces to unite some resource pools and hasten the work, but the particular efficiency of food (to enlarge your local population) or infrastructure (used to build) is heavily tied to the type of region - a desert or alpine region sure won't produce as much food as a plain would! The culture/decadence system goes a long way towards keeping the game fresh; a ratio based on it allows for a ladder, determining whether you will or not accumulate tokens of progress or regress - making overexpansion likely to throw your nation ultimately into civil war, possibly causing the rise of rebels or even nations hostile to yours. The playable pool of nations is incredibly large; ethnics are important in determining your regions' loyalty to prevent revolts (hellenes don't mingle as well with germans as they do with celts for example), but also your building pool - most of them are shared like farms, but each ethnics have their exclusivities. A few nations even add extras restricted to their use, just as your government type do (a tribe, a city-state...). With the addition of nation-wide decisions ranging from developing a target territory to a global effort in producing more food, FOG:Empires really brings an excellent, diversified take on the turn-based strategy genre. The DLC steps up the difficulty; give it a try!
