I loathe Tower Defense games.  It appears like the most popular strategy games fall under real time, but i'm in the minority as a hardcore turn base fan.  I'm basically looking for anything creative, fun or strategic to play.

Other strategy games I play:
(1) Battalion - http://www.kongregate.com/games/urbansquall/battalion-arena
(2) Sanctum - http://playsanctum.com
(3) Risk - http://www.dominategame.com

I loved Warlords 2 and 3 at the time, those were indeed great games.
The only game to date (that I know of) that the diplomacy aspect implanted well.
In most other games you got allies and enemies that cannot be changed after the game starts.
But in Warlords 2 and 3 you can make/break peace/war/alliance during the game - something that I loved and made the game for me.
Warlords 4 didn't have diplomacy and sucked badly, that's the reason we don't have Warlords 5 yet.

Also I loved Settlers 2, but that's a whole other game.

Most of the games over at Sean O'Connor's Windows Games have been in my time killing toolbox for years, for the same reason I'm drawn to Zatikon:  A certain elegant simplicity with regard to picking up the games, but nearly endless possibilities for playing them.

Sean's games are great, I remember beating every one of the Slay games. Brilliant. I did some digging and found a Slay clone too (characters are mushrooms), but forgot it's name.

It's sad there are soo soo few good games out there.

Chess.com's online games where you get 1 day to make a move - makes it so you dont have to be on at the same time as a friend to play - very cool

i love wesnoth.  turn based. and rpg, all in one. and free.
lots of incentive to keep playing, as you keep units as they power up.
