EPTBut as for Civ, I'll probably be interested in prepared scenarios so sounds like civ4 wouldnt be perfect for me. Civ2/civ3 interface is pretty hard to approach if I remember correctly from when I tried it 10-15 years ago. So seems like 5 is right for me?

Is Banner saga too much story/conversation for you? because that'd be a good fit if not. | ||

With Civ, combat really plays second fiddle to overall management. If you think X-COM is too much management, Civ isn't what you want. It's really nothing like a Tactics game. | ||

Playing it on Lunatic difficulty and my god, at times it feels more like Dynasty Warriors than a tactics game. Thank god for how overpowered Dark Mages are, otherwise I might have been stuck on quite a few levels lol. | ||

XCOM 1 has less upkeep between missions, and is easier to play. Civ 5 is also a decent choice. I wouldn't recommend Paradox games, they take some time to learn, and after the learning you still might not like them anyway. Edit: How about FTL? Or Total War games? | ||

Advance Wars has good "scenario" mode (it's just starting setup aside from the campaign tho, but the campaign's pretty good and decent difficulty) even though once you know them by heart they're actually a puzzle you solve with the same moves every time. Still keeps you busy for quite awhile before it comes to that! And I don't think too much in my games, I'm drafting Ixalan atm. | ||

Also Civ was my first thought because from what I remember from playing civ4, the interface very much told me what I'm supposed to do each turn, end it's pretty simple at the beginning of the match and only ramps up later. But I'm looking into something that I can hop into and out of pretty much any second so I was scared that ammount of things you have to take into account later into the match would be too much for me. | ||

It isn't a bad game at its core but the execution is annoying and flawed, replayability is close to none, and you can finish it in 6-7 hours. The choices offered to you make sense and aren't shallow/dichotomic, and the graphics and animations are great, on the other hand. Basically the game's selling points are there (aside from some of them being exaggerated, namely the narrative ones), and the core gameplay is interesting, but the aspects around both weaken the whole thing. | ||

Idk Im at chapter 20 and it felt like there was enough experience in the game to get just about 4-5 serviceable units. I didn't distribute my exp properly for this game, was more calibrated for Radiant Dawn sort of difficulty I guess, so I only have 3. Feels rough man. | ||

The game heavily promotes mindless routing with like 1-3 overpowered units, especially in the second half of the game. "4-5 serviceable units" is about where you'd expect to end up with only 1-2 doing most of the heavy lifting. | ||

it's a shame the level design and stuff is like this because I thought the first half of the game was fucking amazing in map design and how the game forced you to play. It was actually engaging and tense unlike all the GBA Fire Emblems. Hell I think the first half is better than Radiant Dawn, and I think that game nailed a lot of stuff. | ||

Hell I think the first half is better than Radiant Dawn, and I think that game nailed a lot of stuff. IDK if I would go that far, but Awakening early game definitely is underrated and I do enjoy it. Every time I go through the first half, I think to myself "why did I think this game was so bad?" Then I play a bit more and go "oh...right...". Lunatic early game plays quite well, but the game really just stops trying after a while. You liked Shadow Dragon, right? I think I mentioned this before at some point, but New Mystery of the Emblem might be up your alley (JP-only sequel to Shadow Dragon, though the translation patch is quite good). | ||

The confluence of the fact that you can never get less than 8 kill XP from a battle, coupled with obscenely high stat caps and the fact that you could theoretically level infinitely with Second Seals means that the game never reaches the point where you need more than 1 unit.

Only three paragraphs about fire emblem? Yango I am disappoint. | ||
