Old World
editMaybe a mention of "Old World" which joins the narrative aspects of e.g. "Crusader King" and 4x games?2A00:801:232:B181:78C0:8B73:8F65:1B51 (talk) 05:06, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
FAR warning
editIf the "Recent History" section is not updated soon or a good reason to not include recent information is given, it would appear that this will have to be nominated for WP:FAR due to comprehensiveness concerns. QuicoleJR (talk) 20:13, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- The only major change on the 4x landscape since Civil IV would be Amplitude's Humankind. I cannot think of any other major 4x title not already mentioned or offered since 2017. Masem (t) 20:51, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- In that case, I believe it would be better to remove the maintenance tag. QuicoleJR (talk) 20:54, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- The Age of Wonders series is missing from the article. Planetfall and 4 seem to be well regarded 4X games that received plenty of press coverage. --Mika1h (talk) 15:48, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- I know Age of Wonders 4 as well as their previous space game were treated as 4x's, but I am not sure about earlier games in the series.
- What I would like to find is sourcing on 4x indie games, not to list them all out, just that this is a new vector of new games. Masem (t) 16:58, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- Why are we going immediately for the nuclear option? And why is this an issue for others? WP:SOFIXIT. Expounding on current 4X games does not require expert knowledge, just reliable sources. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:48, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
- I was planning to work on it, I was just notifying people that there may be problems. QuicoleJR (talk) 14:15, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
