CoH isnt horrible, if a game is a bit different doesn't mean its bad

O.o How could you be looking for an RTS game and call those games terrible...but, maybe try Age of Empires 3, I would say Sins of a Solar Empire but you don't seem to like the more dynamic RTS. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Age of Empires and Rise of Nations, but Rise of Nations for example, had very simple combat and it held the game back, the whole economic and city management was good. Although I must admit Sins has some simple combat at times =(

Age of Mythology, Rise of Nations, Warcraft 3 and its expansions. Old games but nonetheless excellent.

From the looks of it, the TC wants a basebuilder-type RTS.

Try Cossacks, looks like ass though.

Why do people bash a game by calling it horrible just to prove a point?

No I bash it because I don't like it? What is it illegal not to like something? And yes I am looking for a Builder-Type RTS. I have Frozen Throne, Rise of Nations, AOE II + Exp. Supreme commander looks alright. Too many units involved though. Controlling I'm sure doesn't seem too hard but. Still not what I'm looking for. Guess I'll stick to WC3 for now.

Ofcourse not. I'm just questioning your method of asking for help that's all.

I really like playing Rome: Total War Gold Edition. I can easily get lost in it for a few hours at a time.

Rise & Fall lags like crap, even at lowest settings when filled when men. I wish they would remake Stronghold Crusader. Best empire builder ever with unique units.

There is really no base building involved in DoWII, if that's what your looking for......

in short they through what was left of the generic rts template (large bases, huge resource spending, cannon fodder base infantry , generic bottom half GUI) out the window and into a burning dumpster.

in short if u hate being wheighed down by those great game, if u hate the change dont bother.

Quite old now, but still great fun.

Medieval II - Different RTS all togeather, not about building sthings as fast as possible, and overwhelming the enemy with vast numbers, more about classic battle tactics. Total War empires should be out soon as well.

I guess Starcraft 2 whenever that comes out...

COH FTW!! - lol

First off, DOW 1 and COH are good rts. How can you say your looking to buy an RTS and hate those.

If you like AOE2, don't get AOE3, you'll be disappointed. Try Rise of Legends (RoN's sorta sequal). Or you can always just search gamespot for RTS and look at their reviews.

If the TC doesn't like those RTS games, it's his right to having an opinion, even though it may not be in agreement with that of others....that's how how he can say that.
