Poll: RTS gaming .

[Christemo]

Age of Mythology is my favorite RTS of all time, and my choice for the 3rd best game ever.

but RTS´ took 4 steps backward with Dawn of War 2, which claims to be an RTS, but is obviously an Action-RPG.

I like any game where I can build things like cities or bases.

The only RTS games I don't like so much are the ones where you only have units and dont really get to make bases

 

[The Rockerfly]

I want a new one that actually involves tactics, not "make powerful unit and lots of and kill" forumla that most rts have

ever played Stronghold? or CoH?

Nope what are they like? I have quite a list of games from this thread so please explain

well in stronghold when you put archers on the wall Then theres actually a bloody use for the wall
the archers downstairs will just be hitting the wall and once in a while a archer on top of it
you can make traps like stake pits and tar/oil pits the last once you can actualy set fire to by giving your achers a brazier to light their arrows

you actually need to create the weapons for your soldiers and have horses ready for your horsemen in the stables

you can have tunnelers who can attempt to break down the walls of the enemy you can have engineers who built you siege weapons and defences (like pots of Oil on your walls)
there's actually a need to produce food or there won't be people in your town there's also a need in variation to keep your people happy and also build gardens or torture things to keep them in check
so in fact you're doing all the things that should have been done in the real time

And In company of heroes well I dunno how to explain that exactly It's just what it is[/quote]

Wow that sounds quite good, I will look for a review and might pick up a copy
(This thread is making my list of games huge and my wallet tiny)

I feel sorry for people that cant see the skill in a game and so they just bash it.

Well lets take AOE3 for a good example
As the french you can win 90% of matches by just spamming pikemen with a decnet amount of upgrades

I never got into AOE3, AOE 2 was much better, However asuming the counters work the same then scout and when you are sure that the are training pikemen with an aim to spam start creating archers and siege... Just remember scout and adapt.

Yeah but when you can spawn a pikeman in less then 5 seconds, then it gets frustrating
