Stellaris, Torchlight 2. Dominions 4. Stellaris is complex and easy to get into, Torchlight 2 satisfies my grinding desires, and Dominions 4 is the best TBS ever.

Quoting: STiATHave it since a very early access stage as well. Didn't play it in a while though, but it was fun when I last tried it.

Quoting: JSVRamirezThis reminds me of Populous III in the way it looks... can anyone say if this is accurate in terms of gameplay?
Never played POP 3, but this is nothing like POP 2. It's far more complicated than raising and lowering land...

I'm using Ubuntu MATE 16.04 beta and I'm happy. I tried Manjaro, and liked it, but there were several Steam games that didn't like it, so I went back to Ubuntu MATE.

The game, by the way, installs just fine and is a pretty awesome game, too.

Quoting: oldrocker99Hmmm...the Steam store page only lists Windows and Mac...I have a newish Windows laptop now upon which I cannot install Linux. Yet. It looks great, but I won't buy it for Windows if I can buy it for Linux.
let me guess: uefi + secure boot....?
Yup. I altered some stuff in the BIOS and lost Windows entirely :P and I won't miss it, either :D .

In a world of freedom, who needs windows or gates?
