One of the worst things about Windows seven is that it is VERY hard to run great games like Imperialism, CivII, Master of Orion I & II. Hopefully, some of these will run on Windows 7. I just wish I could buy those old games that WOULD run on Windows 7. Thanks for the GREAT post Thanks for the GREAT post.

Dwarf Fortress (complex but satisfying "empire-em-up") Aurora - Space empires with uber complex ship design 90% text based interface, The original Minecraft (still available, and great for just "building"), Atlantica, tactical fantasy turn bases strategy (free but with some payware options). Popping along to Sourceforge now and again proves very enlightening. However it takes a decent site like this to sift through the hundreds of games on there that never get past Alpha Could I add the following freeware games.

I'm going to have to try at least a couple of these since the commercial versions I have will no longer work with the latest windows. I think the most awesome free game I've ever tried is Steel Panthers: World at War. In fact, I'd say it ranks above most of the commercial wargames I've played. If you haven't tried it, check it out! http://www.fprado.com/armorsite/sp_waw.htm Great list.

The beginning is great, but in Multiplayer modus you soon have simply to much to do. It seems to be even more stress than a realtime strategy game. Building up big cities unfortunately is no way to success. Civ should be more balanced for multiplayer games. I played Freeciv for quite a long time.

I have played and continue to play 'People's Tactics' and 'Battle for Wesnoth', but although I enjoyed '8 Kingdoms' it would crash frequently. As with Ralph, I really enjoyed the original 'Hasbro Axis & Allies' but it was not compatible with my upgrade to 'Windows Vista' and the newer version, with the real-time tactical, wasn't true to the board game, as the original was. I will check out your choice. Thanks again! Dave Thanks for the info!

But: I guess "hexadecimal grid" is not what you mean. You may or may not be aware that the word 'hexadecimal' refers to the number 16, (hexadecimal is a positional numeral system where letters A-F as well as all numbers are allowed in one digit.) It has nothing to do with the shape of the cells, this grid or the number 6. What you most likely mean is a "hexagonal grid". Nice post! But: I guess “hexadecimal grid” is not what you mean.
