2010 - killer year for strategy gamers

Wow, the list of strategy games for this year is really looking good, with several key series releasing a new version:

Tomorrow... Napoleon: Total War

March: Supreme Commander 2, C&C 4, The Settlers 7

Q3: Elemental: War of Magic

Q4: Civ 5

No set release date: Star Craft 2

Titles suggested by others:
Dawn of War 2: Chaos Rising (March)
Dawn of Discovery: Venice (Feb 25)

And there is bound to be something that I have missed and a couple of titles that are not on the radar yet.

I will fess up to having missed Supreme Commander 1 and all of The Settlers. Oh yeah, somehow never played Star Craft either :shock:. Of these, Elemental is the one that I want the most but I know that Civilization 5 and Star Craft 2 are the games that make this a banner year.

Wasn't Civilization 4 released in 2005?

It's a shame for the devs that so many games will be totally overshadowed.

Yeah, I don't see many RTS these days either... :(

Corrected, thanks!

The standalone expansion for Dawn of War 2 is also coming next month. Not a full game, but I'm looking forward to it. ;)

This year is full of superb RTSs.

That's great news. I've been bummed for years by the lack of RTS and TBS games ever since FPS games became the hottest things. In the late 90s, RTS games were everywhere.

I just wanna know what happened to Disciples 3. Is it in development hell or what? Disciples 2 is still an amazing game to play.

Am I the only one looking forward to Napoleon. It looks really good (although overpriced). Hopefully some of the many issue will be fixed.

At least they fixed the 'AI cannot do sea invasions' bug. My favourite quote of late is where one of the CA devs was playing the game and said, "My favourite nation is the British. They are easy to defend." Of course they're easy to defend! It's impossible to F------ LOSE!

I haven't been following SupCom 2. Does it sound good so far or has the decision of going multiplatform hurt the game? I'm not sure how developing an RTS for PC and console is a good decision since consoles are still in RTS infancy. It worries me that the PC version is going to suffer.

Thanks for reminding me about Napoleon: Total War, TC. Totally forgot it was coming out tomorrow. :P

I am looking into a few RTS' this year. I haven't been playing much, but the lineup does look good this year.

Dawn of Discovery: Venice is also coming out this week. HELL YEAH

yeah for sure.. it will be a great year for pc strategy games. i plan to get dawn of war 2.

Definatly... last year I really enjoyed Dawn of Discovery and Tropico3 to (:

Also Dawn Of Discovery expansion pack comes out soon!

All I want is more World in Conflit!! Of course I want a true sequel but I woild take just another mission EP like "Soviet Assault" too! I have played the single player all the way through 3 times and play it online constantly. WiC is my favorite strategy game by far and I want more!!!
