best rts/rpg

what is the best rts game that has some components of rpg into it. The best one i can think of is Warcraft 3. Please list some if you know of any.

 Spellforce-series.

Warcraft 3 is one of the bests, but idk blizzard is coming out with a new Starcraft Game... maybe it'll bring something new 8)L8erSquare

there's going to be no RPG elements in SC2, they're focusing on purely RTS action, just like SC1 

i just got spellforce universe (which has spellforce 1 & 2 + all the expansions), because it's supposed to be the best rts/rpg hybrid. might want to look into that one.

Battlezone was a great series in its day, but RISE & FALL is the greatest RTS/FPS of all time . Hours of fun per game, and epic battles....no contest in my mind. Spellforce for the RTS/RPG - but the fun wears thin quickly on that one....

WarCraft III.

Old thread is old thread is old.

Its Heroes of Annihilated Empires whichever way you put it! :) The thing is RTS vs RPG genre!

dawn of war 2 has a great singleplayer hybrid that miles ahead of warcraft 3s sorry excuse for rpg elements. spellforce is good. spellforce 2 is debateable but worth looking into if your mind is set on one. and mount and blade is a poor example of an rts/rpg hybrid it can ride off into the sunset imho.

Dawn of War II and Spellforce. Completely different games, both incredibly fun.

order by quality

Warcraft3 - Spellforce 1 - Dragonshard - Spellforce 2 - DoW2.

a bit personal bias to Dragonshard because of DnD, and to DoW2 since I prefer the original DoW gameplay.
