Hegemony III: Clash of the Ancients

Love the need to consider logistics, money, resources... limited diplomacy however, means you just end up blobbing the map. Would love to see a more active diplomacy with the ability to form trade networks, protectorates and alliances with other factions.

Comme ses prédecesseurs, Hegemony 3 est un jeu qui mériterait d’être davantage connu. Sa prise en main peut sembler exigeante au départ, mais une fois les mécanismes assimilés, le plaisir est au rendez-vous. Le joueur plonge dans la conquête de l’Italie antique, en orchestrant la gestion des cités, de la culture, de la nourriture et des ressources. Les lignes de ravitaillement, la construction de forteresses stratégiques, la formation et l’amélioration des unités, la conduite des combats terrestres et les opérations navales enrichissent une expérience dense et immersive, sans jamais laisser place à l’ennui.

Criminally underrated, this game never got the recognition it truly deserved. If Paradox had any sense, they would have bought the rights and turned it into a full-fledged series—instead of churning out Civilization clones. While the game does suffer from a lack of polish, but its core systems are brilliant. It is a genius solution to the long-standing challenge of blending strategic and tactical view—something the Total War series could not pull off. It weaves together the grand strategy of territorial expansion, economic management, and maintaining supply lines, with the intensity of tactical raids and pitched battles. There’s something immensely satisfying about bringing a great city to its knees over the course of a year-long campaign—cutting off supply lines, destroying relief armies, building key forts—and then realizing you’ve pushed too far as critical bridge is lost. Watching your army begin to starve because you overextended yourself is maddening… but it feels earned. It feels right Next revolution in strategy gaming was here and we all missed it. Now we have to play Total war Saga: Mario Cart dynasties

The anti-player bias where the AI spawns exactly at the worst times is a pretty annoying to simulate a challenge. If you're going to allow the AI to magically communicate, it should be a game feature. Sending diplomats, or scouts, which as other players have mentioned they don't actually do (scouts are a feature, but AI doesn't have to send them to get full visibility and knowledge of player's forces). I really don't like games where AI gets access to entire mechanics that the player doesn't. I want to give it more of a chance but my first impression is that I'm going to play it out of spite, hoping I will eventually understand it, because I really want to like it. Diplomacy is really basic. I just don't enjoy games where your two options are declare war or make peace. No alliances, no paying other tribes to war with other tribes, no buying/selling cities, not even trading/selling extra resources. It is fun for what it is, but I don't really feel like it carved out a good enough niche just because of supply lines. Nothing beats the original Rome Total War (not remastered) for city and population management, and having to dip into population for recruits. That game is 2 decades old. It's a shame.
