Guys I finished this game, it was OK. The combat was almost great. Anybody can recommend me something with a similar TB combat?
Finished all the previous Expeditions.
Maybe some XCOM-like? Or even better, some game with more standard AP combat?

Urtuk, inspirations by BB and Darkest Dungeon. Not a masterpiece like those two but a very solid fun.

Blackguards 1 is great, B2 is garbage.

King Arthur is def. recommended.

I remember playing the Stoneshard demo ages ago and having a blast. No idea where the game is at currently tho, plus it's still not fully out.

Tried For the King about a year ago, I hated the art and gameplay felt meh but your mileage can vary.

For a different kind of a tactical RPG fun, I can't recommend King's Bounty high enough, if you haven't tried yet. The first two ones primarily (Legend and Armored Princess). Oh and the Disciples III rework is p. solid either, transformed the terrible vanilla into a fun tacRPG experience.

I have been playing Blackguards and having loads of fun. Thanks a lot for the reccomendation cvv - strange that this game is so obscure even here.

You know I had been actually looking for a similar game to play for a while now, and it wasn't easy... anything else to reecomend? Being that this post is quite old.

Well King Arthur was pretty good. Im playing Wartales right now and it rocks.

Wartales is awesome but I thought it wiser to wait for final release.

Definitely. In fact, I put 80 hours into the game so far so I think I will not be playing the final release. Im still on my first run and dont want it to end but Ill be fucked if I should ever repeat it.

It gets even more sad, when the mission is to kill an enemy commander.
With the "Marathon" skill (unlimited move until first stop) a Veles can run throught the whole map and kill the target on the very first turn.

Sounds thematically appropriate.

This is the only antiquity themed game I started but couldn't finish and I even did the whole grinding campaign in Hannibal: Master of the Beast. It's crazy that this game gets praised for historical detail just because they conjugated the word legatus 3 different ways, but meanwhile everything else (items, half the plot, etc) is ripped off from Assassin's Creed Origins. I got as far as halfway through Egypt before quitting forever.

Is Wartales universe a bit lively and reactive to your character's actions and world factions power shift like in Mount & Blade or Battle brothers ?

Hate when I'm reminded this game exists, what a terrible way to go out after conquistador and vikings.

Don't think so.

Too bad they had to go out before they could do a Darkest Africa game.

Wartales is basically pozzed battle brothers, where you have woman wearing plate and wielding massive two handers slicing grown men in 2.

I already forgot they not only closed down but became part of some NFT scam studio.
Pretty dark turn, indeed.

I still have this game on my wishlist, but Rome-themed stuff is so uninteresting to me that I doubt I'll ever get it.

Why is Rome-themed stuff so uninteresting to you?

Unfortunately, the writing was on the wall that they had become too pozzed to EVER do something like that.

If you don't want Deianeira in your party, you can simply not allow her to join. In the entire Steam store page, the only time anything close to "history" pops up is in this sentence:

Experience a historically inspired story of political intrigue and personal drama [...]

which of course basically means there's not anything historically accurate in the game at all. It's not like Vikings was historically accurate either. Really not sure what you fags were expecting. Expeditions has always been historical fiction at best, and of course if you look at historical fiction even from 100 years ago, such as G. A. Henty's, you'll still find wenches in improbable places simply to titillate the reader. I don't like woke shit either but Expeditions: Rome hardly qualifies as being ruined by a woke agenda.

Combination of stale + current cultural climate means the odds of it being completely inaccurate in nearly every regard is high.

Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?

The majority of Expeditions developers split to form a new studio under THQ Nordic called Campfire Cabal.

Denmark is a country devoid of creativity. They had like ONE good game, which wasn't even that good in the first place, and then it's creators progressively shat on their own franchise till this rape of Roman era came out to end it all. Seriously, take a look at this list and tell me that Danes ain't creatively bankrupt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Video_games_developed_in_Denmark ,
and Hitman isn't even their creation, that's just a remake.

At least Finns, Norwegians and Swedes can deliver something from time to time unlike these faggots.

Is this a good game? Someone on YT picked it as their favourite game this year so it got me curious

If you don't care about historical accuracy and can stomach some shitty writing, you'll enjoy the game. Love it, even. The gameplay is decent, that's what matters.

Hmmm. Not sure about that

(it's not)

Combats are awesome, graphics are good, music is decent but repetitive, and do you have choices with some reactivity, thats all the good things, writing, character development and itemization are mediocre at best, legion and party management is awful, and outside combats you just need to go point A to B until the next combat start.

But since combats are the core of the gameplay the game is good overall, play on the highest combat difficulty, game is easy when you figure the basics
