I want a game that appeals to my inner pyromaniac. Something with gorgeous, realistic fire physics and animations. A firefighting RPG/puzzle game would be ideal, but anything with lots of pretty fire would be excellent.

Have you tried little inferno?

The 2d graphics and cartoon style didn't do it for me. But yes, that seems to be the only game about burning things on the market right now.

Rome: Total War, by Creative Assembly. Try it, vanilla, then try it with one of many excellent mods to enhance both historical accuracy, difficulty, and balance. It's a (relatively by default) accurate simulation of tactics and strategy in the Ancient European field.

Let me rephrase what i said then, a real-time Grand Strategy that isn't made by Paradox
(also i personally don't consider the Total War games Grand Strategy)

Isn't it not a Paradox title? I'm not all too familiar with them and what they worked on. And what do you mean by Grand Strategy, then?

[Bouchart]

What exactly do you mean by Grand Strategy?  Something like Imperialism 1 or 2?

I'm looking for really good bullet hell games that are not Touhou.

Well i see the Total War games as a mix between 4X on the campaign map and RTS in the battles and i'm looking for something more similar to Europa Universalis, or Crusader Kings (With less emphasis on the Dynastic stuff) but not by Paradox

Haven't heard of them i'll check what they are

Not really my genre of things, but until someone with better exposure to the stuff chimes in the TVTropes page has a pretty sizable list, at least, of the things. Just in case you hadn't gotten around to checking it yet, heh. Cross referencing with reviews or whatnot might help pick out the gems if you've got time to sift.

Also, have someone random's top ten list.

I got one! Give Warning Forever a try. It's pretty much a single boss battle bullethell with near infinite bosses that respawn towards how you killed them.

The Making History games used to be fun WWII grand strategy games, and last I checked they were making a WWI one as well.

Anyone tried Supreme Ruler 1936 ??

Can anyone recommend me a good Settlers-style game other than Knights & Merchants, Stronghold and DF?

Not per se Settlers-like, but the Anno series (e.g. Anno 1701) may be something that could suit you.

"Cultures" 1 and 2 are like a cross of "Settlers 3-4" and DF where you have to lead a clan of vikings to prosperity.
There's also "Alien Nations" worth checking out.

And if you want to check out some real antiques then somewhere deep in the internet you might find "Enemy Nations" (a cross of C&C and Settlers if you can believe it AND the game that made me realize why people bash their heads over oil so much).
