This article is about an ongoing remake of Alpha Centauri, you can also follow its development here in our forum. The short article simply highlights that the project exists, and that many steps are still to be completed.

A part of the current Steam strategy fest is the indie game “Theocracy”. Theocracy is an old-school turnbased 4X game, heavily inspired by Civ1 and 2, but with a focus on religion and mysticism. So besides expanding your empire, you also need to spread your religion and convert pagans.

The game is currently on sale for 4.89€ instead of 6.99 until September 4. The developer is also a fellow civ-fanatic, and will answer any questions in the thread dedicated to the Theocracy here.

King’s Bounty: The Legend – Free giveaway on GOG (until Monday Sept 4)

King’s Bounty: The Legend is currently freely available on GOG.com.
This is a temporary deal, and valid until Monday September 4. The game will stay in your library afterwards though.

King’s Bounty is a game series, which has a similar style to Heroes Of Might and Magic: You are a hero, travelling through a fantasy landscape with an army, to fulfil quests. The battles are happening on a separate strategy map, which is influenced by the current surrounding, and is performed on a hex field in a turn-based manner. The main difference between HoMM and King’s Bounty is that King’s Bounty is more of a role-playing game, since you don’t conquer cities and have only one hero. This makes the game a bit more streamlined, but also in some way less strategic. No matter your preference, it’s a nice turnbased game, which you should definitely get, especially if it’s for free.
