  • When I said turn-based combat I meant like early Dragon Warrior/Quest or Final Fantasy games. Are there any like those?

• • Game reccomendation?

  • Civ4 is more or less all I play, I was hoping to get into online gaming (the civ4 online system is horrible, I only play it single player).

    As for themes, I am open to plenty of themes, though if there's no shortange of strategy games (which was contradicted in your post - so I know there isn't) I would prefer either Historical or Fantasy (or a sort of blend).

    As for combat, I like the turn-based combat just fine, but I don't really like the one where I just have to hit the mouse a bunch of times to knock enemies down. In general if I have to be really focused to do well, I don't want to play it. If there's not much strategy, I would prefer it just be something I could do passively.

• • Game reccomendation?

  • I am looking for a good online game to play. Generally I like strategy games, but am open to plenty of other things. I have tried a few of things before... EverQuest 2 which I thought was horrible, Second Life, which I just never got (I never really figured out how to do anything), and Sims Online, which I liked at first, but it got boring. I also played puzzle pirates, but that gets boring as well, as for an online game, there's very little socialization, and you do the same puzzles over and over.
    
    I am hoping for something which doesn't take a huge amount of time to learn how to play at all. If some aspects of the game take time to learn, that's fine, but I don't want to have to read a manual before being able to do anything.
    
    Also, I'm not a big fan of games where the focus is on combat of any sort (unless it's purely strategic). The "hack 'n slash" genre doesn't appeal to me. Generally I see this in RPGs, and this is what Everquest 2 was, more or less.
    
    I don't have a problem spending any amount a month, but I don't want to play some boring game.
    
    Any suggestions?

    I also like early Dragon Warrior/Quest games (which have the same battle style as early FF games I think), but I've never seen one like that professionally done.
