your favorite RTS serries/game besides total war

[knight of virtue and valor]

well, just wanted to know. if you pick other, please post what it is.

[Celsius]

All Paradox games.

[Rugler]

Shouldnt Warcraft have been on that list ? : (

[knight of virtue and valor]

sorry I forgot about that, but thats what the other option is for.

[Personified Boredom]

Rise of Nations was fun.

Especially when you had twelve or so missle silos, and you could nuke the living out every other city on the map.

And naval battles were fun. Good and fluid.

I'll show you GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR!

[Roman Clone]

Starcraft/Warcraft II, they were not only my first real games that I played but they were my gfirst and favorite RTS's.

[Snoopy]

Empire Earth.

The first was simply ground breaking, and the expansion only improved it (albeit with a couple bugs)

The second was also very good. Not quite as ground breaking as the previous, but I would say it lived up to expectations.

The third sucks. Horribly. Seriously, it disgraces the name of Empire Earth. I hope they make a fourth that is actually good like the first two

[aarons got funky fresh]

Ohhh, this is so hard between CoH and AoE.

[Ozy]

I'd go with Age of Empires because it was the first one I ever played, though EE and Rise of Nations were great too.

[knight of virtue and valor]

maybe its the fact that I have only been a fan of RTS for three years, but I have only played the demo for starcraft, EE1/2/3, and rise of nations (the most complete demo I have downloaded). I love total war, but for now, its stuck in swords and slow loading cannons/muskets. blowing the hell out of the enemy is something that I found lacking in total war, so I decided to do th demo of C & C genarals, really freaking easy, but more explosions then you can shake a stick at.

Definitely Age of Empires. It was the first strategy game series I ever played. I've had many fond memories of controlling the different civilizations of the time.

[thatguy]

I chose other for: Relic.
They've made brilliant rts, Homeworld series, Dow, CoH.
Just awesome

[George W. Bush]

I thought that Rise of Nations was a good series too, I remember there being a cool campaign mode with multiple factions. It was sort of "Risk-like" but with Age of Empires style battles. I must have spent hours on that game.

[Xavier Dragnesi]

Yeah, I found RoN pretty awesome as well. My two favourites apart from the Total War series at the moment, are Rise of Nations and Age of Empires.

[Radiso-FIN]

Age of Empires series!

[tabacila]

Supreme Commander, with Relic games really close behind.

P.S.: Is it a bad time to mention to the thread starter that the TW games are TBS/RTT, not RTS?

[Cmdr_Sdxo]

My vote goes to Supreme Commander .

I would've voted the Faces of War/Soldiers:Heroes of WW2/Men of War series, but they're not exactly RTS so there, SupCom wins.

[Roger the Shrubber]

Age of Empires. It's a classic.

[Selifator]

Homeworld series from Relic.

[Mr Longbowman]

I must say Empire Earth

It was full with bugs but I loved how they made defending alot easier than attacking, this made the games extremely long. I remember a game between me and a friend which took 16 hours.

The two last ages were uninteresting and the developers should had worked on other things instead of adding them, but overall a great game.

To bad the sequels sucked
