Good strategy games?

Im looking to buy some good strategy games, The ones like C&C build a base and go to war type ones, could some of you KIND people throw some names out, thanks.

 

I've heard Star Wars: Empire At War is a C&C type game, and very good at that.

 

A good on line game IMHO is TRADE WARS, yes the old BBS game. It is addicting and fun, runs thru telnet

 

I'd recommend Myth 2: Soulblighter, it doesn't allow you to build your own units though. Each level you get a certain amount of units and must make do with that. Requires a bunch of strategy and tactics.

Definately better than build up mass produce rushing games.

Game came out in 1998, but still a large community for it.

Demo can be found at: http://projectmagma/what

To play that or the full version online, check out playmyth.net

 

StarCraft, Star Wars Galactic BattleGrounds, Age of Empires..all of these are good games.


Edit: Very similar to C&C. StarCraft is a personal favorite. Age of Empires has a little historical perspective to it (very little). Star Wars is Star Wars.

 

Civ IV

 

Warcraft III is excellent, too.

 

Ya thats a great one.

Another one that i like is Rome: Total War and the classic Starcraft.

 

Battle for Middle Earth is fun and the soon coming sequel look good. i like age of empires 2 and 3, starcraft, Warcraft 3, Homeworld 2, and Ground Control 1and 2 (the original Ground Control is free now )

 

Civ IV is what caused me to take a vacation from MG lately.

 

I like the empire earth series.

 

Yeah, its a tad addicting.

 

never could figure out any of those civ gaames. Thats a tunr-based strategy game right? They get quite boring, andhard to learn

 

Civ IV is VERY easy to learn.

 

IMO if you like C&C (Generals being my fav of that bunch) Then you will LOVE
Act Of War. AoW is awesome.

AOEIII is good as well and SW: empire at war is very good.

 

War Hammer 40K: Dawn of War!!1! Such a great game, I say you get this one.

 

yeah, that is a pretty fun game

 

Thanks for the heads-up on Act Of War.. Quality!
And cheap too.

 

Act of war was quite short of a game, Warhammer k dawn of war was awesome, I need to get the Expansion pack Winter Assualt

 

Rome Total War, Act Of War is short but awesome, Any Warcraft series. Warlords Battlecry 2. Stronghold Crusader. And of course Starcraft a classic.
