Computer games with a strategic component; construction, expansion, armies, economic development. Discussion on all sub-genres (RTS, Grand Strategy, Economic Strategy) is welcome, but the focus is on generic strategy games and hybrid games that don't fit into the following communities:

“Masters of Albion is the culmination of my life’s work, a game that owes so much to titles like Dungeon Keeper, Black & White, and Fable,” quoth the Molyneux in a press release. “It’s a totally unique game that we hope will delight players, a game that brings God Games into the modern gaming landscape and puts the genre firmly back on the map.”

From the videos I've seen, Masters of Albion is based on his previous game, Legacy, which was a crypto pump and dump scheme. I played it for an hour on their free "non-crypto" server, it was total shit. Lots of clicking and an unsatisfying core business sim gameplay loop. It was clear the whole thing was made for trying to sell NFTs and no attention was paid to whether the game was fun.
