Real Time Strategy Games (RTSG)

Try Arena Wars, coming out in a few days (already out in Germany). Say goodbye to rush victories.

The main thing I wish that more RTS games would do is at least ALLOW slower players to, for instance, set the single-player game to allow giving orders while paused. I simply haven't got the reflexes to handle most RTS games.

In rise of nations it allows players to do give orders while paused! it does it in multiplayer too if you whant it to!

Is that like a CTF in a RTSG format? sounds fun!

Does any one know when LOTR: battle for middle earth is comming out? i think that it is in October, is that true?

EB lists the game "in store" on 15-November-04. But it could always change and EA pushes it back to '05 to compete with the newer titles released early in the year.

Kinda. It also has bombing runs and double domination.

More like Unreal Tournament as an RTS.

really? Sweet! I'm kinda surprised that there aren't more of those types of games out there!

Is any one looking foword to empir earth 2?

 

[Jesus_Inside]

Anyone?

 

[Kokopelli]

I must add this: the newly released title, Rome: Total War, is now on my list of "best RTS" game around.

I don't know if it's been mentioned but Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns is a nice game with some neat concepts. I like not having to micromanage individual units to replace those lost in battle. So long as one unit from a company survives, the entire company will be reconstituted over time while the company rests in a supply zone. I recently got a Loki port of the game for Linux and have really been enjoying it.

I liked Civ3 and Alpha Centauri.
Warcraft 1 and 2 were cool. 3 got a bit annoying.
Never liked Starcraft.
A less popular but really cool RTS is "European Wars: Cossacks"

 

[Lordbay]

I was beginning to wonder if anyone plays warcraft. This is my fav!!! The first games like this I played was acendency. It is an old game, but some people still play it, like me!!!

 

[Mobius 1]

I like one like Age of Empire and the Mythology.

RA2 kicks, Cossacks EW is slow and CIV:CTP is nice but boring. Wish I had a decent pc to get some new titles.

I'm more of a fan of RTS that deal in a more historic sense.

For some reason the games just get ruined for me when you start to bring in nuclear bombs and airplanes. It just causes the game to end so suddenly once you get to a modern or futuristic age.

But when you have archers, cannons, catapults, spearmen, etc... I just find that it enhances the level of stragety required.

Anyone played Kingdom Under Fire: Crusaders for xbox? I've been looking at it and it looks really cool but I'd like some more input before I buy it. I might see if I can't rent it somewhere first.

I've ended up with quite a few RTS games since I first got my hands on Dune 2

CnC Generals is my current favourite, with honourable mentions to AOE 2 and Starcraft. But I've also got Warcraft 3, RA2, Dune 2000, Galactic BG, AOE 1 etc sitting around.
