    I don’t know about not wanting to compete. They’ve taken shots at dethroning Xcom and Civ recently as well, both of which remain popular

      Which game are you thinking about with X:COM? I did see Millennia, but either it was marketed badly, or I just managed to miss the hype machine pre-release. It just seemed to suddenly spring up with swathes of middling reviews.

      I’m kind of a casual Paradox fan, but don’t really stray from their PDS releases usually.

        Lamplighter’s League. The setting and visuals are quite different, but the combat mechanics are absolutely in Xcom’s vein

          I was quite interested on that and downloaded it on Game Pass, but never found time to try it. It seems that game caused them to part ways with Harebrained Schemes, which is a shame. I enjoyed Battletech that was the same sort of turn based combat thing.
