Hello, my name is ColdBeer and this is my very quick list of upcoming strategy games
similar to Age of Empires.
As always, I will not waste your time, let’s start with
Stronghold Warlords
The game allows you to assume the role of a lord with a small castle and a poor village
at your command.
With this you have to build a powerful country, like Brazil or Latvia.
Game offers a single player campaign, single historic missions and a sandbox mode, allowing
you to build castles without being constricted with any objectives.
Or in other words - a pussy mode, where you are not threatened by any adversaries.
Also here you will find a multiplayer, so you can occasionally feel humiliated by much
stronger players.
Manor Lords
Here you will build your own medieval village, which in time will turn into a city.
And then, if your city is strong enough, you can engage in raping and pilaging activities
by raiding other cities.
Well, at least almost every RTS game works this way.
Game is strictly single player and at first it was created by one man.
Now the creator has some helpers, so the process of developing is speeding up.
Universim
Game is in Early Access from 2018, but the final release should entertain us this December.
Here you can jump straight into managing your own planets as you guide a civilization through
the ages.
So, a concept ripped off straight from the Age of Empires heart and that is great.
Game has really deep and interesting gameplay, for example every planet comes with a few
surprises that are sure to challenge your civilization.
From tornadoes that consume everything in their path, to thunderous earthquakes that
threaten to split your civilization in two.
If you treat nature poorly, it might just show you how brutal and unforgiving it can
be.
Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition
While waiting for Age of Empires 4, your urge to play something Age of Empires related will
be satisfied by Age Empires 3 Definitive Edition.
And as it was with the previous remaster here we will get not only the same game with sharper
4K graphics, but also enhanced audio, two new civilizations of Inca and the Swedes making
a total of 16 playable civilizations.
Also you will be able to dive into Historical battles mode, where the fate of famous wars
will be decided by your inability to efficiently control your units.
I’m kidding, I’m sure that you will be a great commander.
Or not.
Fata Deum
Game has recently finished it's successful kickstarter journey by collecting almost 60
thousand dollars of pledges.
Here you as a powerful god fight against up to four AI gods to rule a fantastic world
and its mortals.
These mortals act self-sufficiently and need to be persuaded to follow you.
But how will you achieve this?
Build great armies to expand and gain new followers by force.
Or establish wonderful settlements, improve their cultural value and convince others to
join your path.
And you know, sometimes convincing is more effective when you give a plague to some village
and then offer your help by removing it.
At least partially.
You know, someone has to die, to learn a lesson, right?
Spellforce 3: Fallen God
This will be a completely stand alone game, meaning that you can not only play the game
without the original game, but also you don’t need to be familiar with the story of SpellForce
3 or with Soul Harvest expansion to jump right in.
Here you will control a nomadic tribe of trolls that has just one goal - to survive, because
someone is poaching them for their tusks.
That is terrible, PETA should take action by organizing some naked protests.
Anyway you will help trolls to survive by awakening Fallen God.
Totally safe activity, what wrong could happen?
Knights of Honor 2: Sovereign
First part wasn’t a hit, it was really underrated, but it was not a bad game, many players have
warm feelings towards it.
Not as warm as fire or sun, but at least as warm as pug’s belly.
So, now, 16 years later we'll have ourselves part two.
Here in addition to the development of cities as well as industrial and mining infrastructure,
you can also occupy positions at the royal court, economics, conduct spying, perform
diplomacy-related activities, trade with neighbors and develop some stupid religion where you
can worship a beaver god or Cucumber godess.
I don’t know if that will be possible, I hope that you can do stuff like that.
Oh oh... and what about the religion of Humongous Balls, where the pope and leader of people
would be the one with the biggest, shiniest and heaviest balls among men.
Just imagine the scales adapted specially for measuring the weight of someone's balls
where the one with the high score wins the all the elections.
And what about women, you would ask.
You know, In my life I saw so many women with balls bigger than some men, so something would
be invented about that, don’t you worry.
Equality is the principle of every religion, isn’t it?
Isn’t?
Oh, wait...
The Settlers
Game is called The Settlers without any number afterwards, but actually it is The Settlers
8.
The next chapter in Settlers franchize will be released about 10 years after the initial
release of Settlers 7, so it’s an anniversary release.
Here you will find a story campaign that can be completed alone or in co-op mode, so be
sure to find at least one friend until the release of the game.
Easy way to get a friend is to put potato salad and a plate of marinated herring near
someone's door and wait for them to come out, because the smell of these awesome foods is
irresistible.
Then grab that person and that’s it - you have a friend.
Take it to your gaming room.
The Settlers will also provide optional side missions and multiplayer PvP battles.
Actually I, even though I do not have any friends, because I don’t like to share my
potato salad, I have pretty high hopes for this game, it looks really cool.
Going Medieval
Stake your claim in this colony building sim and survive a turbulent Medieval age where
almost everyone has died from plague.
Here you will construct a multi-story fortress in a land reclaimed by wilderness, defend
against raids and keep your villagers happy as their personalities are shaped by the world!
Well, keeping in mind all that plague and also occasional pillaging - keeping villagers
happy might be a harder thing than getting drunk from non-alcoholic vodka.
DwarfHeim
This is an RTS game with thrilling co-op and team gameplay that will appeal to fans of
multiplayer games, but it also has some treats for single player lovers, in example here
you can play a survival mode, a gruelling and fast-paced challenge where all classes,
buildings, units and abilities are immediately unlocked or play in Skirmish and put your
skills against AI in a series of maps each more challenging than the last.
Sadly nothing like a campaign will be implemented here.
At least for now.
The Plague: Kingdom Wars
Game is in Early Access, but the final release date is incoming very fast.
Ingame It's a year 1347, the time of the Hundred Years' War.
In this historical grand strategy and RTS hybrid you play as one of 200 minor lords
across medieval Europe, Africa or Middle East.
Rise up to take over your Kingdom and be crowned, then fight to preserve your empire as Black
Death descends on Europe.
So, again, fun game about plague.
War Selection
Game is in Early Access now and a full release is planned next year.
War Selection is a real-time alternative history strategy with base building, resource extraction
and warfare.
Here you will battle for supremacy against dozens of opponents on a unique procedurally
generated map.
Every player starts in the Stone Age and then goes through 7 historical eras by the process
you are very familiar with from Age of Empires.
Each evolutionary road brings its own unique game experience with unique game mechanics
and other possibilities until you reach the age of heavy tanks and long-range artillery.
And how about nuclear bombs?
How about lasers from space?
Why stop there?
How about spaceship battles?
No?
That's sad, but still, game looks very cool.
Kingdoms Reborn
This is a simple city-builder with implemented multiplayer and open world.
Here you will grow from a tiny village to a prosperous city and upgrade your houses
and technology through various eras.
World is procedurally generated, so do not expect hand picked awesome environments, but
hey, the game is simple and sometimes it's all we need.
Timberborn
Humans are long gone.
Will your society of lumberpunk beavers do any better?
This is a city-building game featuring ingenious animals, modular, vertical architecture, and
water control mechanics.
Be aware that the game contains high amounts of wood.
Not that wood, you pervert.
And smart beavers.
Well, beavers will be as smart as you let them be, all in all, you will be the guide
of their civilization, so it might very well be, that they are already doomed.
Viking City Builder
Pillage your enemies and burn their puny villages to ashes!
Viking City Builder is a classic game with real-time strategy elements that allows you
to live through historic expansions of the Viking age.
These are uncertain times for Europeans when the Norsemen started a large-scale conquest
campaign throughout Europe to broaden their territories.
Become one of the leaders of one such group and prove the world that your balls are the
biggest.
