    I used to really enjoy classic RTS games. But other games are just more interesting that I can’t seem to ever play them much.

    I still really enjoy games like Princess Maker 2 even 20+ years later.

      I was never great at RTS games, but I always liked expanding my base. I’m happy at the expansion of the “colony builder” subgenre which scratches that itch to make things and is more exciting than a SimCity type city builder, but isn’t all in service of combat like an RTS.

        Have you tried rimworld or Oxygen Not Included?

          No but they are both in my wishlist. Right now I’m playing Colony Ship, which is coincidentally about a generational colony ship, but the game itself is an RPG.

            Colony Ship

            Oh wow it has a demo. I’m going to try it, looks like a modern fallout 2 kinda game.

              It’s very heavily inspired by the original Fallout game designs. Very heavy on having lots of types of character builds and options to complete quests. I’m probably going to restart soon because my first character wasn’t a great build.
