Shogun and Medieval where Risk like but the newest version (Rome) is not. In Rome you have the possibility to actually move you armies over the world map with movement points. Roads effect travel distance (positively) as well as the size of your army (negatively).

Rome does leap ahead of its predecessors in many areas but the battles don't feel right and it has a lot of bugs and balance issues. Still a worthwhile game and there is a mayor patch in the works that should be released in early January.

Space Empires 4 i really find good (malfadour are now in hte process of making space empires 5) it should be even better will remain turn based 2D on the game map but the space battles will be either 3D or 2D - and in real time i understand it.

Must better than MOO2 and MOO3 (anyone else here place SE4 ?)

I've played the demo of space empires 4, i liked i but though galciv was better (anything is better than MoO3!).

I just played a demo for Silent Storm. And although I'm not a fan TBS games this was pretty good. Graphics were very nice, sounds were excellent. And although I suck at it, it is good.

I like turn based strategy games like everyone else but i never really liked the moo
series.

MOO 1 is classic, MOO 2 is not that bad till you beat it once/twice. MOO3 is worst TBS game ever.

Just remember on amiga I played a sharaware game that came on floppy with Amiga magazin. It was simillar to MOO. Loved that game.

Also spent a lot of time playing colonization on Amiga.

MOO3 wasn't bad when it was patched. But the interface was something of a mess, since the development team leader was fired when Ubisoft changed their mind about the overall game design. (Ubisoft actually demanded that it be in 800 x 600, when the developers wanted to do a 1028 x 768 version.) There are parts about it I don't like, and others I think are really great improvements over MOO2.

GalCiv has great AI, but very few features, and retro-graphics. Space Empires IV has a ton of features, but I kinda lost interest in it after playing for a few hours. Heard that the AI wasn't that great, too, but it may have improved since I first tried it.
