Hey

I am currently looking for a good RTS game like ceaser 3 or Stronghold, like gather supplies and administer your economy and batter supplies, and dont forget war:D I dont care if it is a old or new game or if the graphics are dull as long as the gameplays good, so give me your best shoot;)

PS. The time-line i would prefer is the middle ages or Romen empire time.

same. Sins is one of the best 4X games ever. Also, World In Conflict is a fantastic game.

If you want a more conventional series that could still fit the bill, check out the second to fourth games in the Total War series.

If you want something with a more traditional approach... there's the "Age of" series by Ensemble.

You can try a few different things. There's Zeus, Pharaoh, Stronghold 2, Settlers Series

There's probably a few more games like this

I agree.

Also,check out Galactic civilizations 2,the Total war series,Supreme comander,Act of war.

And I understand you look for RTS,but in the strategy games universe for me it´s hard not to recomend the Hearts of Iron and Europa universalis games,they are superb.

Those kind of games are like dead nowadays. No one is developing next-generation behemoth like those sadly. It's mostly overloaded with pure-combat RTS or just too sci-fi-ish games.

It's sad when someone wants a certain time period or theme because it closes out games that would otherwise be good but fit some theme different from what is asked. That being said, I reccomend Company of Heroes and Sins of a Solar Empire. Those are the two best nowadays.

I know this isn't like them games but I loved Supreme Commander because it's just so fun building your base and armies.

Really?... nobody mentions the command and conquer games? I like sins but it just takes way to long to play 1 game (between 6-18 hours). Total war is fun, but just no my style. I like all of the C&C games and am currently play Red Alert 3. Yes I know it's flawed and extremely cheesy but I still love the gameplay of setting up your base building units and attacking in under a minute. So I guess just try all of those and choose the kind of RTS that you like.

Anno series (AKA Dawn of Discovery) sounds like the perfect game for the OP. http://dawnofdiscoverygame.us.ubi.com/pc/

Like WDT-BlackKAT said, Try the Anno series, namely the recent Anno 1404,
it's about the closest you're gonna get from what your asking (within the recent year), The game play is great as is it's graphics.

I Strongly recommend it.:)
