The Critical Moves Community

The Critical Moves Community is a dedicated strategy gaming forum built around the Critical Moves Podcast and the wider strategy gaming community. The forum gives players a place to discuss strategy games, share opinions, exchange ideas, and continue conversations inspired by podcast episodes. Its main gaming sections cover real-time strategy, turn-based strategy, grand strategy and 4X, as well as city builders and management games.

The community provides dedicated spaces for discussing podcast episodes, suggesting future topics, and following announcements and updates. Members can use episode discussion threads to continue conversations about subjects covered on the podcast, while the strategy gaming sections provide room for discussions about tactics, game mechanics, favorite titles, campaigns, and developments across the genre. The broader podcast also covers recent releases, classic strategy games, industry developments, RTS, 4X, turn-based tactics, and games that combine different strategy genres.


Beyond its core strategy gaming discussions, the Critical Moves Community includes general gaming news and chat, off-topic conversations, member introductions, forum announcements, and site feedback. This gives the forum a social side alongside its more focused gaming discussions, allowing members to introduce themselves, talk about games outside the strategy genre, and participate in the wider community. For players interested in RTS, 4X, turn-based strategy, grand strategy, city builders, and gaming discussion, the forum provides a dedicated place to connect with other strategy enthusiasts.
