I am looking for a good turn based strategy game. Let me hear your experiences

X-Com UFO Defense. Good work getting it to run on modern systems though. It's old school DOS.
Sword of the Stars.
Sins of a Solar Empire is absolutely incredible. Couldn't really get into Sword of the Stars.
Well, my favorite RPG/Strategy game of all time is still Fallout and Fallout 2. The graphics are of course dated, but the gameplay, story, direction, and writing is all top notch.
Sincerely, I don't think anything else will top Brian Fargo's master work unless the "Wasteland" property he bought can be resurrected.
I hate strategy games.. I miss the days RPGs were turnbased.. Diablo and Baldur's Gate completely eradicated that facet of the genre, though.
Well strategy was only in the form of combat. Can I also assume then that you disliked Final Fantasy Tactics, Neverwinter Nights, and Baulders Gate (etc?)
Total War Games
Right?!
The whole time I'm reading this thinking no one has mentioned Rome: Total War, or Empires TW, or Shogun, or Medieval 1 or 2
Some of the best turn based strategy IMO
Granted, I was more into Rome then empires. Men of the line standing there just shooting at each other is just stupid. I know that's how it really was, but i also think that the military minds of the day were pretty stupid as far as that goes.
It's only turn-based if you automate the battles (which is a terrible idea, success-wise). Good games, though.
