Going on complete gut instinct - English Civil War is not a Dad War, but the Hundred Years’ War absolutely is. War of the Roses is close but doesn’t quite make it. Napoleonic is the pinnacle Dad War, closely followed by WWII and then WWI.

I've been playtesting my prehistoric 4X game with an autobattler combat system (prototype) instead of the old tactical grid system, and it seems to work quite well ⚔️ It's been super fun studying the autobattler genre and integrating it into a 4X game, they're actually quite compatible! ‌🎮 #gamedev

A year after it released, I have written about the process of designing and writing 'The Sacred and the Profane' event pack DLC for Old World - openfells.com/notes-on-old...

I tried doing that top 25 games thing and it ended up being a game edition of 'This Is Your Life'. So here are the games that have influenced and inspired me most in roughly the order I played them in -

Time for an intro post! I'm Josh, a game designer focused on systemic narrative design and currently working on the historical 4X game Old World at Mohawk Games.
