Any one can recommend a good strategy game?

[Blacklightbulb]

I don't care if it's commercial!

Any strategy games say set in 0 - 1800 AC of a realist scenario. I mean the really good ones.

Thanks!!

Were you talking about years/dates and meant to say AD?

I really used to enjoy Europa Universaris, although it's not a game for everyone. Other than that, I love Civ I and Civ II (not 3 and 4).

Civilization 4

Company of Heroes works well on WINE. It's a really good RTS.

+1 for the Europa Universalis series, it fits just about all of your requirements and runs perfectly on Wine.

If you're willing to stretch the time setting requirement a bit, you might also want to try Victoria: An empire under the sun. It's similar to the EU series in design, but a lot more complex, and is set mainly in the 19th century, and the 20th century up to WWI.

Right, my mistake :p

Chess, it's the ultimate strategy game and can be in whatever setting you want.

Freeciv?

[insane_alien]

if you don't mind expanding the timescale by a few centuries, warzone2100 is really good.

World in Conflict is great.

Too bad it doesn't run on wine anymore..

Play BackGammon, it's an awesome game. There's a GNU version for it too, so it can run natively on Linux.
