I played some StarCraft 2, after release of legacy of the void I almost stopped playing because this game is too fast for me. I was suprised that so many people here mentioned Age of Mythology, I always thought that it was really unpopular game due to AoE. Stronghold is quite nice (Crusader if you prefer skirmishes original for more economic based gameplay), also Anno franchise is quite fun to play. From card games I tried Duelyst and it's like M&M:DoC fused with HoMM, speaking about Duel of Champions it's a shame that Ubi killed it year ago, and now it's going to be shut down on 31st of October. Now I'm left with tiltstone and it's stupid mechanics.
