HoMM3 with WoG mod is a ton of fun. Songs of Conquest is 4X I believe. Also great fun.

I think EXplore is the big thing for me. The more incentive you have to explore, and the more content to be explored, the more enjoyable the game is.

I way prefer Sci-Fantasy, but it’s a toss up between the Sci or the Fantasy.

I think Grand Strategy is where I’m at right now, and I tend to focus a lot of games in that area.

What is the smartest way to get into Stellaris right now? I’m waiting for the whole DLC package to get marked down in November or something like that. The Steam Workshop pretty much controls mods right now, so GoG isn’t an option from what I’ve read.

For people who play Stellaris regularly, I recognize that the game has been less popular recently. Is there a specific reason for that?
