Turn based strategy games for a very low end machine. I plan on Getting EUII if I can find it. I have Civ2, I've reinstalled Risk as it's the only EUII/Risk like game I have besides Fracas. I also have Axis & Allies. I'd prefer something with some depth but preferably not much micromanagement. If they are freeware the better, but I will look into non-freeware.

My best and newest games are at my mom's with my good computer and I've gotten bored of the games here at my dad's.

EDIT:
Low End:
Pentium 4
256 ram
integrated intel gfx card (with pixels shaders)
can run morrowind but not SMAC (has odd problems sometimes...)
PCI

I am also most interested in Risk-liek games, cross between Risk and Europa Universalis II

Are you looking for recommendations, or just letting us know?

Nah, I just like to tell you guys everything I am doing/thinking.




Just kiding, I want recommendations please.

hero's of might and magic 4 is great, failing that, get 3.

Smac
Moo 2

SMAC won't work on this computer for some reason.
MoO 2, I'll look into that.


Any good freeware?

I haven't looked into freeware. What happens when you try to boot up SMAC? MOO2 isn't free, but it ought to be cheap. It's old, but very replayable, IMO.

It just doesn't work, I can't remember, it was at least 3 years ago. Doesn't matter, it should work on my new computer, but I just have not been interested in installing it yet.
And I will be looking into MoO2 soon.

Here is a free Turn Based WWII strategy game, Steel Panthers: World At War

http://www.steelpanthersonline.com/main.asp

You can download it at 450MB or order a CD with the game and a bunch of other stuff.

I don't know what your kind of low end machine is, but I could run it no problem on a Pentium II 350MHz, 128MB RAM


There is also Steel Panthers: Main Battle Tank which covers the era 1946 - 2020, which is approx 100MB download.

There is a thread on another forum about that game, sounds good, I'll try it.

That's a low-end machine ? Then mine is a dead-end machine. :)

Let's see:
-Age of Wonders 1
-Age of Wonders 2 (it works kinda slow for me - i stopped playing it because of that, so it'll work perfect for your comp)
-Disciples 2 which is trully awsome.
-Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (NOT 4)
-Star Trek: Birth of the Federation
-Worms Armageddon .... ( <-- how did that get there :mischief: )


And did anyone mention Civ3 :mischief: ? It'll work fine for you as long as you don't play against 10+ civs.

I tried Civ3 at a friends, didn't like it.

I have AOW: Shadow(magic?), it's not my thing.

Star Trek: Birth of the Federation - was there not a thread here about that?

Disciples 2 - I'll look into it

Worms Armageddon - Will look into it.

I tried Civ3 at a friends, didn't like it.
Blasphemer. :p
Star Trek: Birth of the Federation - was there not a thread here about that?
Yea, and all the trekkies were arguing about trekkie stuff. You don't have to know all that (useless) stuff about star trek. I know almost nothing about it, but i enjoyed the game nonetheless.(sp?)
Also, i didn't mention it because it was already said, MoO2 is A LOT better than this ... (or any other 4x space tbs for that matter)
Oh, and DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT play MoO3. It's a disaster and it has brought great shame to MoO :(.
Disciples 2 - I'll look into it
Read a few of it's reviews. (it has very good grades) It has little to no micromanagement.
And it has really cool 2D graphics (in combat).
Worms Armageddon - Will look into it.
You mean you didn't play it ? :eek:
Btw, it's a lot more fun in multiplayer/hotseat. But i enjoyed it a lot even before i played it in multi.

I've heard good things about Advanced Strategic Command, it's freeware.
