It's been a while since I actually bought a PC game (aside from The Orange Box). I'm kinda interested into a new RTS (empire builder type also considered) game. I own: - Age of Empires I & II - Age of Mythology - Command & Conquer: Generals Zero Hour - Starcraft: Brood War - Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne - Warhamer 40,000: Dawn of War & Winter Assault Thanks.
I've tried every RTS game to come out since and nothing compares really.
The only other game I'd suggest is World in Conflict if you're looking for a change of pace in your RTS experience ... but if you were a big fan of the DoW series (as I was/am) then you'll really dig CoH.
Great multiplayer in that game too ... see you online!
If you are looking for action go with World in Conflict. If you are trying to build an empire thentake a peek at Civilization IV, or Galactic Civilizations 2.
Rise of Nations is my favorite RTS ever made, it's like 10 bucks on ebay and I almost never get bored of it. I strongly recommend that you at least download the demo.
Rome total war,medieval2 totalwar, rise of empire, stronghold/2/Legend, settlers rise of an empire, world in conflict, C&C3, Supreme Commander, company of heros, age of empire 3,War Front: Turning Point ,Black and white 2, Age of Mythology
You already own the cream of the RTS crop - buying anything else would be a downgrade. New for the sake of new is not worth it in my opinion, when it comes at the expense of quality.
I'd suggest Medieval 2: Total War. It's a RTS/TBS hybrid. So, you'll expand your empire through diplomacy and good old fashioned killing, you'll fight mercantile trade wars (which is not even remotely exciting but it sounds cool eh?) and you will conquer the smelly Welsh. That's right, Wales. Watch out.
The AI is frankly broken, but that doesn't mean it's not an awesome game. Plus, it has Mongols. And you can refer to them as Mongoloids. Because it's very, very funny.
