My vote goes to Civilization, due to it's a completely different experience every-time round. The same may be for Command And Conquer, but i like Civilization more as it's less structured so you don't get pushed into one direction, you get to choose your approach.

After a few messages, I'll count the votes (so please state clearly your preferred game) and tell you the winner.

LET THE BATTLE COMMENCE!!! :lol:

I think this is a total case of apples and oranges. They are completely different in many ways. C&C is a story-driven real time strategy game. Civ is a series of turn based games on a COMPLETELY different scale with randomly generated worlds and no story. Both are AMAZING at what they do, but because what they do is SO different, you cannot really draw a valid comparison. That being said, I like Civ better, as I always thought the idea of military leaders building bases and gathering resources on a battlefield and creating troops on site was stupid. But, to each his/her own. Your mileage may vary.

C&C for the simple people, Civ for the uber dudes .. I like both of them, well C&C started to suck ass when Generals came out so screw that. Civ wins.

That's silly to compare a fast paced RTS gamewith a long TBS game. So I'm going to pick my own battle between those two and two more games similiar to each. I'm going to say Civilization is better then Galactic Civilizations II and Supreme Commander is better then Command and Conquer.

That Wasnt the question. And to everyone else asking why im comparing, is because i've taken the most popular ( I think) RTS and TBS, and pit them against each other to see what type and game is the best strategy game.

it all depends on if you like fast-paced action or a deep, complex experience better. i personally prefer the Civ series by far.

CNC is one of the most stupid friendly, brainless RTS games out there, especially the latest CNC 3 trainwreck! I'd put over a dozen RTS franchises ahead of CNC personally.

i would not compare the two games

buuuut, if i were stuck on an island, etc etc, i'd definitely want civ with me over c&c

that said, when i've got a few minutes to burn (as opposed to three solid weeks of my life), i'd choose c&c

this is why different genres should probably not be compared, they each fill a different hole in our otherwise empty and pointless lives, and only by amassing an enormous tower of games, consisting of all imaginable genres, can we finallyconvince our knows-better-anyway consciousness that our lives are in some way meaningful or otherwise worth living
