Oops. I already have EU. I meant should I get EU? So, I take that as yes.

If you only have EU, then yes, I'd say you should get EW. It adds one more class (the MEC) and allows you to genetically modify your soldiers.

But it's probably harder. I haven't played the vanilla EU, only EW, but... yeah.

Welp, I'm getting a new computer soon to replace my current toaster. So, could someone recommend the best deep strategy game out there?

If you're not interested in a tactical game like that, try out one of the Civilization games.

Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 is a great strategy game. And yes, that is nostalgia talking.

I believe Enemy Within has some pretty deep strategy. But what is your opinion on "deep"?

I dunno if it's actually defined, because of the confusion evident here, but I saw Paradox Games being described as "deep", so I assumed it was just the high detail

There is literally no strategy in XCOM at all. It is 65% tactics, 35% RNG.

Stuff like HoI, yeah, I was hoping to find out if Paradox aren't the only high detail strategy game producers out there.

Amazing, just did a ranked game of R6S with some randoms, we were losing pretty badly, the match at a 0-3 against us. After that, we somehow managed to win every round, snatching a 5-3 victory.

You can't get EW without EU, EW is an expansion to EU.

And yes, EW is very much worth it if you like EU.

Well, technically no, because EW is separate on consoles.
