In Northgard, I think winter is a harder enemy than the other clans. Each new region costs more food, and the snow cuts your harvest.
If you like Age of Empires, try it. Not strict history: draugr and giants too.
72% off on Steam, A$14.26 until 2 Nov.

One upcoming strategy game a day:
County of Fortune: build a whole medieval county, not one town. Rivers and terrain decide where trade flows. Early Access 5 Nov.
One rich heartland or a patchwork of rivals?

Attila the Hun wasn't killed in battle. He choked on a nosebleed on his wedding night.
Total War: Attila makes him hard to kill. Players say you must beat him in battle more than once before he stays dead. One wedding night did it faster.

One upcoming strategy game a day:
Sekigahara, 1600 Japan, from the GMT Games board game. No dice: to fight with a clan, you play its card. Stretch loyalty too thin and your own troops switch sides mid-battle. Q1 2027.

Victoria 3 turns four this Sunday, 25 October. I think it is a better game now than at launch.
Free updates added treaties in 2025 and rebuilt the navy in 2026. The catch: you don't control battles. You send generals to a front and wait.

#OnWarStalingrad: command whole divisions on the road to Stalingrad. Push too far and your supply lines stretch thin.

In July 1944, 57,000 German prisoners walked through Moscow. Behind them came trucks washing the streets.
Most were taken in Operation Bagration. Steel Division 2 lets you play the German side. Best way to feel how fast Army Group Centre fell, I think.

You're Dong Zhuo. The warlords of the east have raised armies against you. Do you burn your own capital?
In 190 he did, and sent the boy emperor west to Chang'an. The coalition never caught him. I think his real danger was Lü Bu, in his own camp.

“By concord small things grow, by discord the greatest fall apart.” Sallust
Individual AI was necessary to make the whole thing work. The commander is not always in control, it’s not only about routing.
-Next to morale, unit has cohesion with its own squad
-Too much spread, a critical hit and other events can turn your warrior unresponsive
-In the clip the spacing got too loose, morale is fine, so they simply walk back toward the banner
-Restore formation order calls everyone back in line restoring cohesion back

This Sunday, 25 October, is 611 years since Agincourt.
A wet ploughed field between two woods. French knights sank in the mud as English archers shot from behind stakes. In Medieval II it is an easy battle. I think the ground did half the work.

In Old World every turn is one year. Your ruler ages, marries and dies.
I prefer this to Civ's leaders who never die. You plan for your heir, not just the next war. Catch: a fixed number of orders per turn, so you can't do everything.
90% off on Steam until 22 Oct.

#Warfare1776: real-time line battles in the American Revolution. One bad flank can turn a winning line into a rout. Between battles, supplies drain and the seasons turn.

Would you risk your veterans or save them?
Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV paints all of China in hexes, one colour per ruler.
Take the land behind an enemy army and its supply breaks. Like earlier games, it's for Three Kingdoms fans. If you don't know the officers, you may feel lost.
