I'm sure we have a few on-line players on this forum...what strategy games are worth playing, free or paid? Thanks! Patrick

I guess there are not many on-line players here? [&:] Patrick

I play MMOrpgs never found an online strat that wasn't swarm and win.

The only on-line game I play at the moment is World of Tanks.

Not exactly a strategy game but I thoroughly enjoyed "Iron Front Liberation 1944". It's a hardcore FPS (like the ARMA series) set in WWII, there is an add-on now set in Normandy. Nothing like sitting with your team in a tank online, one driver, one loader, one gunner, one commander. Very slow paced but extremely tense and exciting. I remember using a Russian AT gun waiting in ambush for the German panzers... I could hear them coming closer and couldn't see them yet... nailbiting guaranteed. Haven't played it in a while though because that cursed Advanded Tactics Gold sucks up al my playing time.

Thank you all for your game info, I will check them out this weekend! I started playing "Grepolis" a few days ago, the jury is still out on this one. I will let you know about it in due time...thanks again for all your info! Patrick

I played Everquest for 7 years it died out, they had a sequel Everquest 2 never went to it. I hear Everquest the original is making a comeback. I play Dungeons and Dragons online ( DDO for short) have for 7 years. I am currently playing Neverwinter by Cryptic. Neverwinter is a free game you can spend money to buy stuff but you don't need to everything can be gotten eventually even by one not spending a dime. DDO is free but there is content you must pay to play. Not sure about the come back Everquest.

I remember watching the battle of Caldari Prime (Eve: Online) on youtube. Holy god... it's just too much for me, so overwhelming, the idea of thousands of players blasting each other and their very expensive ships to pieces. I'm getting a little too old for that sort of thing, but it was amazing to watch.

Boomer78 -> RE: The Best Current Strategy Games On-Line (9/6/2013 7:48:25 PM)
Oh, no. I'm not twitchy enough for that kind of reflex. Only thing I've played online recently was DayZ. Got sniped and camp-spawn killed enough to learn that I'm getting too old for that sort of thing. DayZ and its parent game, Arma 2, are both really good at basic tactical strategy. I don't know if your scope goes higher to a planning or operational level, but for boots on the ground stuff, Arma 2 and its various mods will do the trick. Online play is usually stable and has some decent co-op.

I will check out your recommendations this weekend and Happy Gaming to you! Patrick

And don't forget ARMA III is just around the corner, a paid beta is available at Steam, or early access whatever they call it.

demyansk -> RE: The Best Current Strategy Games On-Line (9/7/2013 12:20:04 PM)
I think WarThunder is great, flight sim

demyansk -> RE: The Best Current Strategy Games On-Line (9/8/2013 12:36:23 PM)
Patrick, The warthunder game http://warthunder.com/ is very similar to those who play world of tanks but its a different game then the new release of world of planes. It's free and the scenery is OUTSTANDING!!!!!! You can buy planes and you don't have to pay a DIME to play this game. The developers are working on getting the naval and land forces involved in the game from a human perspective. The AI land forces are very tough, tanks move on the battlefield as well as the naval forces. I have been shot down a number of times. At the present moment, team playing is not the greatest but you can invite friends to your game etc. I could write a large dissertation on this game but download it and you will love it. Look me up and i can get you on TS with other players.

It just needs so much gaming time sunk into it to really get the best out of it - far more than I ever had. Surprised nobody has mentioned MechWarrior Tactics yet.

It's not an online game, but Battle for Wesnoth is a good free strategy game. Jim

Gilmer -> RE: The Best Current Strategy Games On-Line (9/9/2013 9:56:00 AM)
It's not strategy, but I play Everquest Emu and I play on the classic server. It's not for the faint of heart that are experienced with World of Warcraft online. You lose levels and experience here and it can be a slog at times.
