iam c&c [Command & Conquer] Addict :w00t:,realy great game:yup:

[spidey99]

red alert 2 is the best i guess.both story and the gameplay was great.emperor was also a great success.Also there was a game named "war games" back in old times, that was great too.To make it short, C&C series rock, which makes Westwood a great company, or it was...

[zero0]

ya c&c rocks i cant wait until red alert 3 released

[BrownsFan]

Black and White, Populus, Civilization, Chess

[IdolEyes787]

Historical over sci-fi.
Age of Empires 3.

[twist off]

Medieval: Total War 2

Whole lot of mods to maximize the game play experience.

[C-mos]

I would say ...Heroes for me .

HoMM 3

[waeldiab]

Age of Empires 3

[zero0]

Age of Empires 3
yes Age of Empires 3 good Historic Real-time Strategy game and Command & Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath the best Sci-Fi Real-Time Strategy game ...you should try it :yup:

[The Flying Cow]

AoE3 is total shite because of that card crap.

BEST strategy game of all time is no doubt Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings, and Age of Empires II: The Conqueror's Expansion.


After the podium, which is UNARGUABLY pwned by AoE2, we have a few unworthy successors; things like Starcraft, and Warcraft III, and maybe that Red Alert thing. Oh and Populus: The Beginning (that was a trippy one!)


And that's RTS for ya in a nutshell.

Historical RTS is awesome, but Sci-Fi RTS can be entertaining too. HRTS FTW though. Oh, and I almost forgot, that game Empire Earth, the first one, had a cool WW2 campaign. Other than that it was pretty much a pooper (oh and the fact that with cheats you could use robots to crumple an opponent still in the Dark or Bronze Age. So yeah, pretty insane aspect there too, but that was all)

[Septimus]

AoE 2
AoE 3
AoM
and Star wars Galactic battleground (same as AoE 2 but with the Star Wars´characters)

[Grind$oFine]

I like AoE3 a lot, but I haven't really played any other strategy games. :ermm:

I suppose I'll have to check out the other things mentioned in this thread. :shifty:

[DATTER]

For me, the best is Rise Of Nations.

[trebor31]

I like the total war games:)

[PRINCE]

sure
Command & Conquer the best game
i love it

[zero0]

sure
Command & Conquer the best game
i love it

Finally, someone agreed me ,btw Congratulations for your 1000 post :D

[Bowen747x]

WarCraft (if you like online which it offers free) and no i do not mean WoW. WC2 was great but WC3 is even better. the hero system is the best and the races are siiiick. strategy is so challenging and teams are intense, mass micro and macro for pros all the way.

[J-G]

Red Alert II
AoE (all of them)

[trevor2000]

age of empires 3 & heroes 5

[snakerx]

Civilization is one of the best .

[MultiForce]

Every RTS from good old Westwood before EA ruined everything.

[Alessandro]

total war :) (rome and medieval)

[yasobelber92]

Age of Empires 3

Diablo

[HmcR]

Age Of Empires II : The Conquerers

Eternal Masterpiece.

btw, any good aoe2 players who want a challenge pm me. ;)

[ZaZu]

Master of Orion ii: Battle at Antares

[kondrae]

C&C series is great.

Tiberium sun
red alert 2
tiberium wars

also loved age of empires 1 n 2
and empire earth

[Ri0T]

Age of Empires II.

Good looking at its time, excellent gameplay and great story telling.

[The Flying Cow]

Ri0T knows what he's talking about.

AoE2 still looks good nowadays, and it's so light on sys req. The game/graphics/physics engine is so well crafted they made something like 2 official patches to fix minor imbas.

That's saying something, when you compare it to games like Warcraft III RoC and TFT. They are still making patches for those, and the game and it's expansion remain imbalanced and a pain in the neck to try to tackle (i.e. Night Elfs are clearly overpowered, and Undead are too weak).

AoE2 and it's expansion is still #1. Maybe SC2 will come to take it's place, but it'll be a hard task.

[DATTER]

Rise Of Nations ;) I love this game!

[HmcR]

^^ I agree, but you know the best thing about it that until today (I've been playing this game for 4 years now, another friend of mine has been since it was released) is that we are always discovering new strategies and game mechanics and every time we think that it would be the last technique we would find but still we'd find something new, an eternal masterpiece.

SC2 will have a VERY hard time trying to take AoE2's place, its cause developers just cram a huge amount of stuff into newer strategy games that players very shortly become confused of the excessive variety.

AoE2 has 5 or 6 main military buildings but has infinite depth.

great work microsoft!

[pifpaf]

Comand and Conquer series.

[zero0]

[ahmdsror]

[braindrill]

Starcraft and Age of Empire II were my favorite back in the day, but Company of Heroes is by far the best RTS game I have ever played.

[snowstorm2k6]

Aoe 2, Ra2

[ConfigSys]

ra2 the best.

[Kallileo]

Age of Empires 3 (or 2.. don't remember)
Command & Conquer: Generals: Zero Hour FTW!
And Stronghold Crusader

[yoco]

Starcraft & C&C!

[Ali-g]

For some reason I jst happen to hate C&C, alothough I like strategy games.

If u asked me for the best Id go for Heroes of MM series (if that can be called strategy, as its a turn-based RPG) then for some RTS id go for Rise of Nations, and Battle for Dune an oldie which I can never forget of.

[n0_0ne]

I've always liked starcraft, used to play that game a lot. Medieval Total war II is one of my favorites now, great game

[SolarisWind]

Am I allowed to nominate a handheld game? I vote for Tactics Ogre:Knight of Lodis on Gameboy advance. It was a surprisingly good tactics/strategic/rpg for a handheld. The story, the gaming mechanics, the characters, the battles...extremely fun. Truly one of the many missed gems that must be played at least once in your lifetime. I recommend that game to everyone who has a GBA.

[respawn40]

Warcraft, Starcraft :)

[Express]

Age of Empires 3 is one of the best

[erickproi]

starcraft, command and conquer 3

[OTO]

Red Alert

[leomero]

command and conquer series is the best ....

[maverick_andy]

It depends on which field u r looking for

Civilisation IV - General S Game
Billionaire, Monopoly - Stock and Educational Strategic Game
Capitalism - Business Strategic Game
some porn Strategic Game i dunno the name
Gadget Tycoon - automobile manufacturing Strategic Game

:D

[optimus78]

Warcraft

[nthpeter]

1) Transport Tycoon FTW!
2) Age of Empires II

[#Palestinian#]

Age of Empires 3
yes Age of Empires 3 good Historic Real-time Strategy game and Command & Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath the best Sci-Fi Real-Time Strategy game ...you should try it :yup:

+1 , i'm with u and don't forgot Red alert 2

[ronaldo0o8]

of course general zero hour is the best

[lopezfd]

Supreme Ruler 2020 and Europa Universalis 3!

[boda]

medieval total war
and
world in conflict
end war would be so nice

[Melchior00]

Starcrat was very good! Stacked minerals hack .. hours of fun.

[silent h3ro]

C&C Generals or Rise of Nations for me.

[emadmet3eb]

red alert

[theDarer]

AoE series

[ajsi]

[snakebite]

Well C & C does it for me all the time

[kaante]

age of mythology

[intuitiver]

Chess and AoE II, III.

[midapool]

total rome war

[RIP number 21]

age of empires 2 was really good, so im sure part 3 is just as good if not better

[Wolfmight]

Stronghold and Stronghold Crusader!!! I've played a ton of them, but these topped em all. More castle building, more resources to gather, people need food...totally awesome.

[McBride]

Medieval 2 Total War

[carnas]

My favourite strategy game is probably Alpha Centauri, closely followed by Civ 4. As far as RTS goes, I used to play a heap of Total Annihilation, now I play Sup Com. Also liked the original AoE more than the sequels.
