Yes, I know there are other RTS developers out there, but im curious between the 2 mentioned above, which one do you think is the better dev? I personally believe that Ensemble is better than Blizzard when it comes to RTS games. Look guys, I love Warcraft and StarCraft as much as the next guy, but I recently dug up my old copy of Age of Mythologies, and to be honest, that game is way better than WC3. In fact its better than all of Blizzard's RTS games. It just feels a lot better. The units are perfect, the graphics are magnificent, the heroes are perfect. I don't like the over-emphasis on heroes in WC3. In AoM Heroes are better than your regular units but they arent the Uber ZOMG characters like in WC3. What do you guys think? Which dev company is better in your eyes when it comes to RTSes?
Blizzard for SURE. I still pop in Starcraft and Warcraft 3 and play them to this day. The perfect symmetry between all the races, the unending amount of customization, the engaging plot and cinematics, NOBODY can beat Blizzard.

Although I probably like Ensemble better personally I feel that blizzard is a better developer of RTS due to the great map editors/pro scene that has come with their RTS games

Age of Mythology > Every RTS by blizzard! :x No weii, Warcraft 3 is the best RTS ever. I don't even understand how you can like WC3 more than AoM. WC3 heroes play too large a role. AoM Heroes suppliment an army, WC3 heroes overshadow an army. Plus god powers are so freaking awesome and tactical! And I like how the camera is zoomed out more in AoM so the battles have a greater sense of scale than in WC3. AoM has so much more versitility. You have 4 races to chose from which all play differently. Each of the races has a choice of 3 major gods, and each major god has a choice 6 minor gods (you can only pick 3 while playing). This adds great depth to the game and can drastically change the way a person plays mid game. And then there are the Titans who just WTFPWN everything in WC3 :D
Like most blizzard games, wc3 and starcraft are number crunchers - get the build orders, counters and numbers into your head you are fine. Not too complex a game either of them.
Age of empires of the other hand required alot more effeort to pull a good battleplan together.

Exactly. I foud AoM easier to play (i.e. to get into,not game difficulty)

Age of mythology is the only RTS I've ever liked! Btw I saw some Koreans in person play Starcraft, they tap like 1000 buttons.

The ignorance is overwhelming. Any game if taken seriously enough can become number crunchers. And AoE is not any harder or more complex than SC.

If you are going to dispute everyone that disagrees with you, why even bother having the poll. This should have been kept as a blog instead.... Sheesh.
Blizzard is good with RTS but i can't help but think of diablo whenever i think of blizzard. I was never able to get into starcraft even though i tried multiple times but really enjoyed WC3. On the other hand i played AOE 1 and 2 to death when i was younger and then later down the line AOM. Simply because i had more fun and felt like the Age of Series were alot more epic in scale and felt a bigger progression when building a base. With WC3 and SC i never felt there was a chance for a defensive option. This is one of the reasons i probably havent been able to get into Company of Heroes although i think it is a fantastic game and will evetually try to play it is not the RTS i grew up with.
I prefer Blizzard personally, but I do love Ensemble. If you were to compare a game from Ensemble though, I definitely wouldn't choose AoM, Empires 2 was far far better...
