GaryChildress -> RTS games (7/18/2010 6:03:17 AM)

I really love RTS games. I liked Starcraft, Total Innihilation, the whole Command & Conquer series, everything Close Combat, Age of Empires, Code Name Panzers, Company of Heroes, etc. What else is out there which I haven't played yet and which is really fun? [:)]



TonyAAA -> RE: RTS games (7/18/2010 6:41:20 AM)

For more...mainstream style RTS games, I'd take a look at Sins of a Solar Empire and the 1st Supreme Commander.

EDIT--not sure if this needs mentioning, but Starcraft 2 is coming out soon as well.



Razz1 -> RE: RTS games (7/18/2010 6:50:26 AM)

Rome Total War



terje439 -> RE: RTS games (7/18/2010 7:05:26 AM)

I quite enjoy Anno 1404 and the expansion Venice. (they are called something else in the US btw)

+1 on Supreme Commander(Sup Com 2 is nothing like the original, it's just watered down version made for the console market), Starcraft 2,and Rome Total War

I'd also add World in Conflict, Men of War, and AI War: Fleet Command w/ expansion.



ilovestrategy -> RE: RTS games (7/18/2010 9:34:08 AM)

Rome Total War!

Achtung Panzer



Dennistoun -> RE: RTS games (7/18/2010 11:32:36 AM)

Rome Total War for me, too.

Have you tried the Warhammer 40,000 series?



ckammp -> RE: RTS games (7/18/2010 2:49:12 PM)

Rome:Total War is great, and CA is releasing Shogun 2:Total War in 2011.

Tony said it, Starcraft 2 is about to hit the shelves! 10 more days or so.

No. I've never tried it. Is it fun?



Perturabo -> RE: RTS games (7/18/2010 4:39:07 PM)

I dislike Real Time Strategies like Starcraft, Command & Conquer, Dawn of War. I dislike base building and hitpoint based combat.

I like Real Time Wargames like Firefignt, Warhammer: Dark Omen, Armored Brigade, etc.

Warhammer 40k is more commonly called Dawn of War. While it was originally a miniatures board game, the video game series was made by the same people that brought you Company of Heroes- Relic. Last Year Relic released Dawn of War II, the sequel to the entire series and even more recently the chaos rising expansion. Pretty fun, takes a decent computer run(seems to use a new engine thats very noticeably more demanding than Company of Heroes) but overall it's pretty good series.



LarryP -> RE: RTS games (7/18/2010 6:46:04 PM)

You said you like RTS so you should really like the Warhammer series. My favorite is Dawn Of War Dark Crusade. Do you use Steam at all?



Greybriar -> RE: RTS games (7/18/2010 6:56:14 PM)

Although I prefer turn-based games, I still have some RTS favorites. Would you believe I still have Warcraft II installed on my Vista PC?



LarryP -> RE: RTS games (7/18/2010 9:15:13 PM)

That's the last Warcraft that was good. Warcraft 3 didn't stay on my hard drive for long.



Arctic Blast -> RE: RTS games (7/18/2010 11:07:27 PM)

You might want to take a look at Rise of Nations and King Arthur, too. And I agree that taking a look at the Warhammer 40K : Dawn of War stuff is also worth it.



LarryP -> RE: RTS games (7/19/2010 12:38:49 AM)

Rise Of Nations is a great game too!



jomni -> RE: RTS games (7/19/2010 2:06:45 AM)

Act of War series
World in Conflict



sabre1 -> RE: RTS games (7/19/2010 6:13:20 AM)

Gary,

If you like RTS, like LarryP said, don't miss the Warhammer series. Get the Platinum Edition, you should be able to get it from NWS at a very reasonable price.

Dawn of War 2 and Chaos Rising are both good, with a small number of units and some aspects of RPG thrown in for good measure. If you get the Dawn of War get DOW2 first. Chaos Rising is a stand alone game, but not as good as the first one. There are rumors of another coming out in the near future.



Fallschirmjager -> RE: RTS games (7/19/2010 7:54:20 AM)

The first Dawn of War game and all of it's expansions are must plays. There is not many greater thrills in gaming than commanding an elite Space Marine force as it faces down heretics and aliens for the glory of the Emperor.
It perfectly captures the minatures which I spent way too much money and way too much time on in college.



diablo1 -> RE: RTS games (7/19/2010 11:00:15 AM)

The Kohan series (Kohan II my favorite)

The 7 Kingdoms origional an its 1st expansion

Sacrifice

The Settlers series

All excellent choices; although WiC was a little fast for my aging reflexes.



Titanwarrior89 -> RE: RTS games (7/19/2010 10:26:03 PM)

The only rts I like and will buy is StarCraft 1 and 2. Two will be released soon.



GenChaos33 -> RE: RTS games (7/20/2010 12:13:47 AM)

I still like Star Wars: Empire at War. AI(rebels) still kicks my butt on a few planet maps!



ilovestrategy -> RE: RTS games (7/20/2010 6:21:47 AM)

General, I like the pic of that sub! [&o]



wodin -> RE: RTS games (7/20/2010 4:31:45 PM)

Not a fan apart from the CC series...however I hear Act of War is very good.
