I'm gonna start playing AoK again, it's very, very well designed. I like it for my larger scale, overall strategy based kind of game. I like WArcraft 3 for my small scale, tactics/micro-management kind of game.

 

 

 

Other than that, I don't really play much RTS. I just find that most strategy games take far too long to get into, and with my busy schedule I don't like to spend months at a time on the same game. So that's why I never got into Total War/Warhammer 40k/Civ (actually turn based, but wutev). Though I might consider getting Company of Heroes, because I hear that's really good.

My favorites:

 

 

 

Age of Empires series

 

 

 

Age of Mythology

 

 

 

The Total War series (haven't played Shogun or Medieval 2)

 

 

 

Guys, you forgot Rise of Nations <_<

 

 

 

I really want to play "Rise of Legends", except my computer can't run it. Put the fact that its a flop aside!

WARCRAFT 3. 4 races (Night Elf Sentinels, Orcish Horde, Human Alliance, and the Undead Scourge)..all of them have unique units. It's easy to learn and get into..and it has a decent story. If you get really experienced with the map maker, I *think* you can create your own maps, put them online as a download, and then play them over battle.net.

I think my list will be the same as the others.

 

 

 

Warcraft 3 (duh)

 

Dawn of War (and all expansions to that)

 

Company of Heroes (Based on the DoW engine, it's awesome. I love you THQ!)

 

Age of Empires

 

Age of Empires 2: Conquerors(SP?) (Seriously, this is Microsofts best game ever)

 

Red Alert

 

Red Alert 2: Yuris Revenge

 

Savage (Pretty fun. RPG for one person in each team and MMORPG for the rest. Awesome on LAN partys.)
