Welcome to my blog. I talk about strategy games and more. Stay a while and check out my stuff. I'd be happy to hear from you.
I’ve had a close eye on Parkitect since is was released in early access on Steam nearly 2 years ago. It is the closest RollerCoaster Tycoon-inspired tycoon game I’ve seen. It’s come a long way having received some major updates. Now, it’s coming out for real on November 29th.
It’s taken a while but it’s finally done. Frags of War has a new re-branded YouTube channel focused on delivering awesome strategy game content. It’s not just any random video though, I have a plan and strategy for it.
If you crave for the classic RTS fro the early 90’s, Loria is an upcoming RTS that the devs say is an homage to the classic era of RTS. It also has a striking resemblance to Warcraft 2, which gives it its unique charm. A little different from most modern games.
The Real Time Strategy genre has seen better days. Once a mainstay of the PC platform, now, it is left only to intrepid indie devs to attempt fresh takes on the genre. The first AI War released back in 2009, was an attempt to try to combine ideas from other strategy sub-genres to resuscitate an RTS genre that was stagnant.
Space Race is the first proper DLC expansion for the Mar city builder, Surviving Mars and it comes out on November 15th. If you’ve been unsure exactly what you’ll be getting with this DLC, this video goes through what’s new with Space Race.
To World of Warcraft players, Warcraft III was the prequel to the MMORPG’s story. To strategy gamers, Warcraft III was a classic Blizzard RTS that added hero mechanics and also spawned the MOBA genre. Blizzard just announced that Warcraft III is getting remastered.
You know what they say, it ain’t Half Life 3, but we’ll take any new game from Valve… which these days is as common as spotting a pink unicorn. Artifact for those not in the know, is Valve’s digital card game based on Dota 2. And going against the trend… it’s not free-to-play.
It’s been a very long time since I’ve played an MMORTS. I remember the days when these were all the rage, from big publisher like EA and small indies getting into the action. Many have crashed and burned in the process. So it surprises me to see Starborne: Sovereign Space releasing in Alpha today.
Bad North, by new indie studio Plausible Concept, is a real time tactics game that is released as a timed-exclusive on the new Discord Store. It takes the core concepts of a strategy game to present a fresh new take on the tactics sub-genre. Read on for my review of Bad North.
Big hulking gothic ships blowing other ships in space simulator (I kid, it’s an RTS) Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 has got a finalised released date. It’s coming out for the PC on January 24th, 2019.
Harebrained Schemes and Paradox Interactive announced that the first expansion to the turn-based strategy game, BATTLETECH will be arriving on November 27th, 2018.
Paradox Interactive today announced that Stellaris is coming to the PS4 and Xbox One in Q1 2019. Stellaris in Console will include the Plantoids Species Pack, Leviathans Story Pack, and the Utopia Expansion which is a pretty good chunk of new content.
Since beginning Frags of War in May 2018, we’ve grown tremendously. I’m encouraged by the number of readers we get and the positive feedback we’ve received. Now, we’re going to need your help to push further ahead.
Paradox Interactive in collaboration with YouTuber Two Dollar Twenty (who does lots of Cities: Skylines videos) has released a 3 part series of video tutorials on the upcoming Industries expansion.
Triumph Studios released another Age of Wonders: Planetfall faction spotlight video. This time, the focus is on the Kir’Ko a former slave race that has broken the bonds of slavery to forge a new path for themselves.
We’ve had 4X sci-fi games on a planet and 4x space-based games. Pax Nova attempts to combine them both into one single game.
Paradox Interactive today announced that the Holy Fury DLC expansion for Crusader Kings II will be released on November 13, 2018. Pre-orders are up and it’s priced at USD$19.99.
No fancy trailer or influencers parading around the game, but EA revealed that a remastered version of Command & Conquer, the classic RTS we all love, is in the works in the most low key method possible. A Reddit post by a developer.

The DLC is released the same day the free update 1.8 goes live, which also adds a bunch of neat new things for all owners of Planet Coaster.
Rimworld, the sci-fi colony sim after five and a half years in Steam early Access, is finally going to be released in version 1.0 on October 17th, 2018. It’s finally coming out of Steam Early Access.

We don’t get many cold war spy themed games and even less in the strategy genre. Phantom Doctrine presents the intriguing prospect of managing an intelligence organisation around the familiar XCOM-like tactical gameplay. Read on for my review of Phantom Doctrine.
