My corporate overlords decided I get some vacation during this time of year, it being the holidays and all that. With some free days on my hands I’m planning to mess around with a couple games.

First up is Millennia a 4X game kinda like Civ. The twist is there are different ages that go off the rails from real history—so you can get a steampunk age or one where aliens invade and stuff like that. I barely touched it when it came out but now, after 7 updates, I figure I will give it a proper try.

Then theres Songs of Conquest, an indie game with amazing pixel art that’s sorta like the old Heroes of Might and Magic games- I might play this with a friend early next year as well.

EDIT: OK im feeling a bit tired so Im just gonna play my current Crusader Kings 3 save till I go 2 bed. Happy Holidays everyone

      Not sure if you played the first but it’s way different. The politics play a massive part. You can end up with a devoted following of fanatics that you can recruit into a militia and crush opposition factions. Awesome game.

        I played the first one for a bit and it was like a survival city builder. Is the 2nd Frostpunk more like a political sim ? If thats the case its gonna be hard to resist NOT playing it. Is it more sandboxy or story focused ? In short. Can I get a rundown how it is ?

        I dont care for most city builders (like I did enjoy tropico for example) but Im not really into cities skylines stuff I think at least.

        If Frostpunk 2 feels more like a politics game I would be VERY interested (the very reason why some fans of frostpunk 1 dislike game 2 might be why it could be perfect for me I guess)
