Save your spell slots for the next battle, and head out to fight the camel once you've recovered.

American Jews account for less than 2.5% of the population, but they are the victims of 63% of reported religiously motivated hate crimes, according to the FBI.
Last week, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff released the first-ever #National #Strategy to #Counter #Antisemitism.
This is an acknowledgement by the entire federal government that the global rise in hatred against Jews is a fundamental challenge to the principles of American democracy. The national strategy details 100 concrete new actions the federal government will take over the next year and outlines 100 different ways the private sector can partner to combat hate.

Northgard is a real-time strategy game about Vikings. Slightly cartoonish Vikings, but Vikings all the same.
Having watched his father the King, and clan slaughtered, Rig the now-very-angry seeks vengeance, by way of taking several years to build one single village, to build a longboat, and set sail to Northgard, where his father's killer has gone to invade and colonise.
I get that the seasons are a necessary part of the RTS process of this game, but it took three years of in-game time to get to the point I could follow the guy across the ocean.
He could be dead by now, for all I know. OK, he probably isn't, but still.
In any case, build a building to process wood, assign villagers, build a scout building, train scouts, etc etc.
The game has its own charm, but on the surface it appears to be a pretty run-of-the-mill strategy game.
Not going to complain, but not itching to jump back in.

Steam went down while I was writing this, which was a little disconcerting.
Bad North: Jotunn Edition is the "definitive edition" of Bad North, which I'd never played. It's a real-time cozy tactics strategy roguelite.
I threw "cozy" in there, because of all the games this reminds me, it's actually Townscaper that it comes closest to in terms of atmosphere.
It's somewhat minimalistic in design, but that gives it a unique character. You defend a series of islands against Viking invaders, so it's like the anti-Assassins Creed Valhalla.
I wish I had more to say about it, but I've come down with some kind of not-COVID (according to two tests so far), and couldn't stay awake last night to post the update.
I then went to bed and couldn't sleep, so it's a lose/lose.
I really must look up the difference between roguelike and roguelite, because all of these subcategories are doing my head in.

Total War: SHOGUN 2 (TW:S2) did not get off to a flying start.
As this was the first run, it wanted to install Flash Player. I refused to allow that, and it seemed to run OK. Turns out that it was included to show ads on the main menu, so no loss.
In the case of TW:S2, I knew it was a strategy game, going in, and since I've had a pretty good run with strategy games over the weekend, I thought I'd give it a go.
That good run ended today.
I started with the tutorial, and it was just teeth-grindingly slow. I tried to persevere, and finally, after 15 minutes, I was about to engage the enemies on the main battlefield of the tutorial, after a couple of skirmishes.
...and it crashed.
I started it again, went into the campaign, one the first battle, but what little forward motion I had was gone, and I quit out a few minutes later.
TW:CS2 is, apparently, a "blend of real-time & tactics strategy, but it just hasn't grabbed me, and the random crash was enough to leave me wanting to spend time in other strategy games.
Maybe ones with Space Marines.

Gladius - Relics of War (GRW) is a turn-based 4X (apparently) strategy game, as opposed to Chaos Gate - Daemonhunters' (CGD) tactical strategy.
Oh no...
After getting my head around CGD on Thursday night, I remembered I had a Steam key for Gladius - Relics of War (GRW) in my spreadsheet of shame (think pile of shame, but Steam keys I haven't even redeemed).
Not only that, I'd also gotten it free on Epic Games Store at some stage. On the chance I wouldn't "get" it and/or like it, I installed it on EGS (and I despise using EGS), with a view to adding the key to my giveaway list if I hated it.
4 hours and 46 minutes later, just after finally completing the *tutorial*, I discovered a missed alarm, when I got a phone call from the appointment I'd missed.
Tonight I installed it on Steam, started over, & completed the tutorial in 91m.
It's not quite as pretty as CGD, but it's incredibly engrossing, and I'm not entirely sure why. Civ 5, Civ 6, Age of Wonders: Planetfall didn't grab me like this, and Stellaris did my head in.

Does anyone here having any thoughts on / experience with using the 'RPG' Steam tag on your strategy games?
Two of my most closely related games, Crusader Kings and Old World, both use it in their top 5 tags, so I'm trying it out as well, but it feels like such a loaded term, and I suspect expectations amongst players can vary greatly as to what it means exactly.
Any thoughts?

Kingdom is a pixel-art based, sideways-scrolling strategy/resource management game. Pretty much everything I dislike, in a single package.
As soon as I saw it load in, I was sure I'd be clock-watching, just itching for my 15 minutes to be up.
An hour later I was still playing.
Sometimes the gameplay is so good, the art disappears, and this turns out to be a great game, but you have to work for it.
It does very little to hold your hand; the first ten minutes were spent trying to intuit what was going on.
You're a king or queen, mounted on a horse. You can ride in either direction, and pick up and spend gold coins, and... that's about it. You cannot attack or fight back if attacked.
You use your initial few gold coins to hire a couple of beggars, and build a tiny village.
The tiny village allows you to provide each person you hire with a tool (hammer) or a weapon (bow & arrow).
During the day, the armed villagers kill rabbits and earn gold coins for you, while the working villagers can build defenses. At night, the armed villagers defend you. Each new day, you earn more gold coins, and the cycle continues, for just one more day.
My initial impressions of Kingdom were wrong; it's:
4: Good.

I first played the Terra Nil demo about 9 months ago during the Steam Next Fest.It had a lot of rough edges, but it was quite charming, and there was definitely something there.
It was released on the 29th of March; it then popped up as part of Fanatical's Easter sale.
Take a dash of ADHD, a touch of exhaustion, and a habit of buying new games as a coping mechanism; shake them all up, and I found myself the owner of both Dredge & Terra Nil (there went my savings towards a new motherboard).
Terra Nil is an "environmental strategy game". You find yourself in the middle of a wasteland, with the job of terraforming the land to restore the biomes and biodiversity that are long gone, and finally removing all traces of civilisation.
While Dredge is "cozy horror", Terra Nil is just cozy. There are challenges to achieve during the rewilding process, but there are no threats, no impending doom, just a delightful experience of watching a dead wasteland brought to glorious life, accompanied by a delightful soundtrack that seems to slowly fill in as you move towards the goal.
It did not feel like 3 hours had passed; Terra Nil is:

It should have been obvious from the name that I would not enjoy this game.
Any game that has me playing as the Nazis is not a game I want to play.
This is a hex-based strategy game AND I have to play as the Nazis? Ugh.
I got to 23 minutes because I try to at least finish the tutorial missions I start.
I finished the first two tutorials and dipped. Panzer Corps Gold Edition is over 11 years old, feels older, and again: you're playing as the Nazis, and that just feels a bit too on the nose in 2023.
Panzer Corps Gold Edition is a big old:

@sharina_mc1 gold has worked longer, so by that rationale you should be more invested in precious metals than those newfangled stocks

This piece by @asmartbear is so good.

A new survey conducted by Propel reveals that 85 per cent of ASX200 CEOs do not have an adequate presence on LinkedIn.
Digital anonymity wasn’t an effective strategy in 2022 and will not be in 2023 either. Today’s leaders must be informed and empowered to engage key audiences online.

Well, I think this is the first time I've ever encountered a sideways scrolling turn-based strategy game.
A couple of days ago, I set up a new dynamic collection in Steam that collected all of the unplayed games in my Pile Of Shame, excluded all of the unplayed VR games, and then I just hit free-scroll on my mouse, close my eyes, move the mouse around, and click on whatever comes up.
Even though this is a seven year old game, when I checked the details, I remembered that I'd bought it on sale last month as part of a deal.
It was worth it. It's a fun little game, that does not feel seven years old. The missions so far are pretty quick, so I could see myself firing it up for 10 or 15 minutes just to kill some time.
Steamworld Heist is:
4: Good

... One such tool I personally find helpful and think would be good is called a "logic model" — it's a way of expressing your _theory of change_.
And all of this is to say, I wrote a short post about this tool in Fedora -- we're using it as a framework to plan and structure our strategy for the next five years.
Check it out if this is at all interesting to you:.
