At first I read the title as "stone's hard", and that is not quite right.

I wish turn based games could just die away already.

why?... there are really good turn based games... like "Battle Brothers", "Xcom", "Halfway/Pathway" or Syd Meyer "Colonization", etc... this are games that make you think more what to do next and not just fast reflex skills... sometimes i preffer this kind of games, sometimes not...

Pausable real-time is good too.

Exactly... games like "Company of Heroes" or "Homeworld 2" (games that I like) can benefit a lot if they have that option of "pause and give orders"...

EDIT: wait... I remember now that "Homeworld 2" have that option...

Damnit, I missed that it was turn-based.  I may try and setup the "almost" list later.

Agreed, one of my favorite games is Alpha Centauri and it wouldn't be the same if you had to build up to zerg rush your opponents base instead of methodically planning out your empire. You could even play SMAC by email.

 

In an ideal golden age of video games there would be a game for everyone, including those of us that like slow turn-based strategy.

I have this game IT IS A LONG LONG LONG GRAND of a game that a ass it will take over 45 hours to get a basic armor upgrade and magic is broken and

the health system is fucking annoying to work with 

the game is like a 1 man army but having 2 low leveled bandits can tare you to shreds so member be patient with the game

I'll probably get this when it comes out of early access. I don't like playing unfinished games, but this one looks promising
