RTS question

is there any new good looking RTS game that you progress from caveman to i dunno the years 4000 ? kirk4ever

Only games I can think of that progress from the"caveman" ages to the far future would be the Empire Earth series, there is Empire Earth III that came out a while back but I hear it sucked, Empire Earth II isnt as bad, but honestly Ive only played the first Empire Earth.

Stay away from Empire Earth III, I dont think it will be worth it, the only good rts games out are the Age of Empires 3 games, and the Medieval 2 Total War and expansions, but unfortunately they only focus on one point in history, Im afraid, but still good games.

heres a list of the best RTS's out right(subjective of course)

Age of Empires 3 - Focus on the Colonial Era, full RTS.

Medieval II Total War - Focus on the Middle Ages, Turn-based/RTS hybrid.

Universe at War- Scifi RTS.

Supreme Commander - Scifi RTS with a Massive Scope.

The Empire Earth series seems to have been the onlygame to encompass all of history besides Empires.

You forgot about the Warhammer 40,000: DoW and its two soon to be three expansions, Civilization IV, Galactic Civilizations 2. These are some of the best ones as well.saturnsport2000

Yeah I knew I was forgetting something, cant beleive I forgot Dawn of War, but Civilization and Galactic Civilizations 2 are turn-based, might not be what the OP is looking for.

Civilization encompasses all of history, but it is a turn-based game, only other game besides Empire Earth to progress from the prehistoric age to the future.

Warhammer 40K is one of the greatest RTS's of the decade, but its focused on the future 40,000 years from now, so Unless your into scifi that might not be what your looking for.

Galactic Civilizations II is a scifi game, fun, but turn-based.

Lord of the rings Battle for middle earth 2 & Rise of the Witchking.The history of Middle Earth.

Try Empire Earth 1 and 2. EE1 is one my favourite RTS games of all time. If you can get past the dated graphics (they're not too bad as long as you don't zoom in too much), I think you'll like it. I didn't like EE2 much but you might want to give that one a shot as well.

Most other RTS games focus on specific time periods but I still recommend you try Age of Mythology. Truly unique and enjoyable RTS with the best campaign story I've ever seen in a strategy game. If you don't mind the Mythological theme you should definitely check it out!
