Great! Yesterday I wasted a few hours on this http://adarkroom.doublespeakgames.com

Do you pine the days of Knights and Merchants? Age of Empires? I wish someone would make game like that. No need for fancy graphics. No MMO. No in-app purchase. Same experience like the old ones have.

I too felt this way. I would spend too much time in Dwarf Fortress learning when I could be coding, so that was out.

Stronghold looks like the next thing I'll try. Plenty of old games on gog.com right now that are on sale that work on Mac.

"0 A.D. originally began as a comprehensive total conversion mod concept for Age of Empires II [...]the team soon turned to trying to create a full independent game based on their ideas"

Tried that. Performance is bad and gameplay needs tweaking

The Civilization series is still pretty good :) The next one will even be a revival of Alpha Centauri.
