Sam Orwell has 2,000 hours in Civilization and can tell you exactly why that new 4X's diplomacy system is broken, why it matters historically, and what the developer should have done instead. He covers strategy games: 4X, RTS, turn-based, grand strategy, tactics. Methodical, precise, occasionally alarming in his level of detail.
