A game I was considering buying during this sale isWarlock: Master of the Arcane. It looks to be a turn based strategy game which might be good. Has anyone tried it that can say if it's worth buying?
Strategery games.

looked at crusader kings 2 after you guys mentioning it.
Also see this, which is apparently highly rated.

Really? Well let me take that link down then...oh wait this isn't a thread about sales, pretty sure we have one for that.
It depends what you are looking for - it's greatest weakness is probably that the AI is beyond useless. It has interesting and diverse units though, all of which you can level up and buff etc - you can get some MoM like fun out of uber buffing ridiculously powerful invisible flying liches and vampire lords and laying waste with them. Just don't expect long term replayability and challenge though.

Lots of skill trees and customization, I am having a blast with it. Hex turned based combat with lots of enviroment interaction, like lure melee into a mud puddle they may slip or cut ropes for various effects.

Not sure that the Caesar games would qualify as strategy, but I loved Caesar III. If it wasn't so art intensive I'd make an indie version.
Edit: Actually I'm thinking of Caesar IV as the most recent installment of Caesar (but I did play III as well). IV was released in 2006.

Crusader Kings 2 takes a couple blind playthroughs to "get" I'd say. The first playthrough you'll think you're doing okay and then your first king will die off and...shit hits the fan.

Unity of Command is a pretty excellent operational WWII consim, if you like that sort of thing.

Transport Tycoon is probably in my top 5 of all-time most played games. I shudder to think how many hundreds of hours I've put into it, especially considering it doesn't even really have a goal or end game. I just make a random map, play toy trains for a few hours, and repeat.
