@games Games to replace Total War: Warhammer 3 with?

There have been rumors/controversies about the next Warhammer 3 DLC, while I don't personally believe them, it's true that we're reaching the lifecycle end of this franchise, I'm thinking of a contingency plan, I've played this series since 2017, and to replace with something else is going to take a while.

Still, here are some of my ideas, and I would like to hear others from the community

Cover of the turn-based game Disciples 2
Cover of the game turn-based Solium Infernium
Cover of the 4X Age of Wonders 4

casual reminder that video games & real world politics do not mix and should not mix

i cannot believe this needs to be fucking said. keep politics out of video games.

i don't care who's side you're on politically. we're here to have fun. not to flaunt our dicks all willy-nilly about who we think is right or wrong.

Admittedly I haven't played much of , and the geo-specific naming conventions make my head spin.

That said - "Monsters in the Dark" is a book that's high on my list to read this year.

It chronicles the legendary journey of Julian Gollop and the creation of X-COM.

While its good to see that books still hold their own (in revenue generating terms) with films & music (they outperform both), the big news is that video games generated more revenue globally than books & music combined.

As someone who has never played a video game, but reads a lot of books, I'm not sure how I feel about this... but it tells us something about where the globe's creative & receptive energies seem to be spent.
