I just bought "three kingdoms the last warlord" on steam, its on sale, and its a fresh feeling to play, I like how the actual officers etc.. are so important,

it is a kind of 4x but with RPG feel because of the named leaders etc... I don't go for 4x games anymore but this one was interesting, and is a little differrent

[gameleaper]

PS: its not realy 4x as its historical on a real map, but its an empire builder I suppose
