' Wrote:wtf?! how can anyone NOT suggest Total Annihilation?! AMAZING RTS game.
looks a little dated but frankly it still makes an amazing game.
Could also try:
- Metal Fatigue. (big stompy customisable robots make your main army, 3 planes of war and each race have their own unique tech tree (one race have swords, another would get axes or claws etc) which can be stolen too
- Starfleeft Command 3 (my fav out of the starfleet command series)
- Star Trek Dominion Wars
- CnC Generals (really good and vastly underrated imo)
- SupCom 2 (not as deep or as large as the first one but it's easy to get into and there is a cool mod out where it introduces all the units from Forged Alliance back into it (CZAR, Fatboy + Aeon Navy ftw!)
edit: there really is not alot of other RTS games you could try that are good that you haven't played before.
Tot Annih played too, years back:DStarfleet command too, was boring really. same goes for CnC Generals.
' Wrote:Soldiers of Anarchy.
Bit old...maybe the same as FL +/-.
Long good story, quiet hard to play. Cant replace units or soldiers, Need ammo and weapons etc..
I am still playing it online on a map with size of 1/3 Europe
Bought that game years ago as well :o)
' Wrote:i Cant saw the big name of Microsoft game "Rise of Nations"
and RON's Thrones and Patriots
(öne of my most favorite)
Man how can you guys forget it???
You must give a try to it:)
Rise of Nations is lul. Took me one afternoon to finish the game, buggy, easy and flawed imo.

Company of Heroes
Starcraft 2
Empire at War
Cabulb is like a lightbulb, but not reading OP posts is he:P
CoH is tsk.
Starcraft 2 is childsplay with shiny graphics, SC1 rulz.
Emp at War I used to play online, ranked 4th in the world for several months in space 1v1 so guess.
Have you tried an old game called Ground Control?
An oldy but a goody and if you do/did enjoy it, it has an expansion.
Another one, but probably off your track is Stronghold and it's many evolutions. A bit short and probably appeals to a specific type but fun nonetheless (and like Ground Control, to be found in the bargain bins (if at all)).
Having said that, if you played TA and found it boring, I'm not sure theres any help for you...:P
Ive always adored games like Dark Reign or Z (the very first one), tough without room for bad movements. Total Annihilation is great fun, but also merely a huge grind. There aint much to say against Peewee charge really though. Kersplode they do.
Stronghold never caught me really. When I want big battles, ill use my modded RTW for SPQR mod, having easily up to 20-30 thousand soldiers in field, plus lag general on both sides.
There have been no strategy game thats been tough as long as I Remember, basically for me ever since the mentioned Dark Reign. It just all goes way too easy. AI keeps charging one side, build up, defend, mass, overrun. Tried in DR. Blockd against occasional raid of 1 trooper and 1 light tank. Like yeeh sure, easy. Outta the dark, full screen (as in FULL SCREEN) of tanks and support, numbering literally hundreds, running my base over in just under two minutes. Flanking artillery or air strikes on miners. Thats what AI needs.
