Gamernode writes: "There are many different permutations of the PC strategy genre. Turn based or real time, empire building or action focused, and most recently, the RPG/RTS hybrid that has popped up thanks to games like Dawn of War 2. While there are many different types, the one thing they all have in common is that modern PC strategy games have evolved to the point where intense micromanagement has been swept under the rug in favor of system UIs and gameplay systems that either manage for you or deliver the information in an easier to digest format. Automating the worker unit in the Civilization series is one example of this that comes to mind."
Matrix Games and AGEOD are proud to announce the release of the turn-based historical grand strategy game Rise of Prussia Gold on our online store.

"There was a time when the PC strategy genre was an exploit that owed more to tabletop games than it did any other gaming genre. The genre certainly had its hardcore and loving fanbase, but it was always associated with that very specific niche as it barely broke ground with the casuals. Then came Warcraft, StarCraft, Command & Conquer, and a host of other strategy titles that pulled it out of the niche and propelled the series into mainstream popularity. The genre took on more action elements, offered more intelligent AI that didn’t require a lot of micromanagement, and added beautifully rendered battle scenes."
