Strategy/Simulation-type games

Anyone played Banished? Just looked at it on steam and looks very interesting.

Just started playing Warlock: Master of the Arcane, though it seems a little unpolished I'll see if that scratches my itch for a good fantasy 4X. So far it's nice and challenging ... maybe too much so. I spent the first 40-so turns of my trial game warring an almost invincible giant elemental with my second city just being traded back and forth between me and the monsters. It seems a little better than Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes even though the latter got better reviews. I like em simple, Endless Space has been the only space 4X game I've fallen in love with and that stripped away a bunch of unnecessary stuff. Looking forward to Endless Legend.

Also looking forward to the Sims 4. I keep getting an urge to go back into 3, but it always gets boring after a while.

I'm readdicted to Starcraft 2. Moreso the campaign than anything else, and with both WoL and HotS back to back, that's at least 40+ hours of strategy bliss.

I am also interested in Banished, but being a cheapskate, I'll wait till a sale.

Not sure if it's a strategy game per se, but loving CastleStorm as well.

Warlock definitely hits the spot. Queen Arranis has just destroyed her neighbouring Empress in the trial game I've made to get used to the mechanics. Once I'm done with this, I'll make a proper massive world with like 6 other Empires.
