OT: Recommendations?
Well, I happened upon Dominions II by sheer chance...and now, several weeks later, I've been hooked and playing it every day. 
So I'm wondering if others on this forum can give me some recommendations of other relatively little-known, independently-produced/published, deep-as-heck, totally addictive games which I could try. Preferably, they'd be in a different genre than Dom II, as that's pretty much all I need on the fantasy-themed strategy/wargame front. 
Any suggestions?

King Of Dragon Pass
Don't recall a URL but it is probably the most *unique* style of game I have ever seen and addictive at the same time.
Not MP but an amazingly fun and unique SP game.

Re: OT: Recommendations?
Thank you both! I'll be trying these out tonight, as well as several of the other demos for games published by Shrapnel (especially Space Empires IV and Coliseum).
Keep those suggestions coming, folks!

Re: OT: Recommendations?
Laser Squad Nemesis... multiplayer only, turn-based squad tactics. By the Xcom designers. I should mention that Xcom is better, but LSN is "independant" whereas Xcom was published by Microprose.
Not independant or PC-based (it's for Playstation) but I certainly recommend Xenogears, over any other game, for any system or genre. Don't confuse it with Xenosaga, which is not good.
And, of course, Stars! ...if you've never played it.

1) I loved the XCom games (well, the first two, at least), and so I'll definitely give LSN a go.
2) I don't have a Playstation. 
3) I haven't played Stars! What's it like, and where would I go to try it out?
