What is the best TBS game in the last 5 years

O.K. as far as RTS on my other post, I went ahead and ordered WiC on newegg. So now I am looking for a TBS, maybe Gal. Civ. II, Heroes might and magic, Kings Bounty, etc. Oh yeah, I already have Civ 4. And I dont care for multiplayerWhat is the best TBS game in the last 5 years
Silent Storm (Gold version) - also my favorite game of all timeKing's Bounty is very good - limited replayability but the 1st time through is very satisfying(Note: Saw your other thread. You really should get Dawn of War 1 at some point - it's one of the best RTS' ever. WiC is better for multiplayer, but I own it too - haven't been able to get into it much though. Dawn of War 2 is not an RTS)What is the best TBS game in the last 5 years
oh, by the way, Total War games, if you haven't played them, will satisfy both an RTS and TBS itch. I recommend Medieval 2: Total War.
Galactic Civilizations 2 is my favorite. HoMM V is also pretty good gameplay wise and get it if you want to play the multiplayer (Official SP campaign part is pretty lacklustre )
sins of a solar empiresword of the starsdawn of nwar 1 is a purebred rts in all its minor rule breaking ways but imo is much more polished in DoW2 without being as tied down to the whole massive armies, cluttered bases, and resources things. and though its SP is more of a tactical rpg its multiplayer is same as it always was. those who complain just hate having tiny armies of proper supersoldiers vs huge aries of not.. so super ones. like seriously dawn of war 2's units can have massive lifespans whereas dawn of war 1 can have lifespans in second to minutes with stupid squad caps and rediculous amounts of over the top and overnumbered weapons.in short dawn of war 1: warhammer 40k for those afraid of a tabletop)dow2: those who like the tabletop but fear rts's.

Those are Real Time Strategy games. He's looking for Turn-based Strategy.

Anyway, Galactic Civilizations 2 is the best I've played. If you decide to get it, you'll be playing it for a very long time.
I'd say GalCiv2.
Galactic Civilizations 2 is a cool space TBS
King's bounty is very good.
Kings's Bounty: The Legend, Civilization IV and Heroes of Might and Magic V (not so good like the old ones, but still very fun).For this year I think Disciples III will be the best.
[QUOTE=''thusaha'']I'd say GalCiv2.[/QUOTE]I agree with everyone that suggested GC2...awesome game ! also the expansions.... http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/galacticcivilizations2darkavatar/index.html?om_act=convert%26om_clk=gssimilargames%26tag=similargames;img;2http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/galacticcivilizationsiitwilightofthearnor/index.htmlAnd Civ IV and it's expansions..... still possibly the best TBS game ever IMO !*+
