2) Warcraft 3: ROC

3) Warcraft 3: TFT

4) Settlers 2

5) Settlers 1

And thats it, there are a few games out there that have managed to be almost as nice, but they all have basic flaws in them (unit control, buged resource control, too simplistic etc) RTS games today are starting to resemble more and more point and click adventure games in real time, replacing the "strategy" bit completly.

6) Starcraft 2 (from next year hopefuly)

1. Company of Heroes

2. Generals: Zero Hour

3. Tiberian Sun: Firestorm

4. BFME II

5. Starcraft

6. Red Alert

7. Earth 2160

8. Red Alert 2

9. Supreme Commander

10. Dark Reign 2

Clearly I am a fan of the old C&C series. Hence where my nickname was derived from.

I am not a huge RTS fan. Its not that I don't like them, but I only need to play them so often so I don't play that many, here my top 5 anyways.

1. Rome Total War

2. DoW series

3. Warcraft 3

4. Starcraft

5. Age of Empires 2

1: Empire Earth

4:Rome total war

5:Medival total war

6:Age of Empires

7:Age of Empires 2

8: Dawn of war 40000

9:Company of heroes

10:Command and conquer

If you couldn't guess, I really like the total war series.

A couple of Notes

1. The TOTAL War series is STRATEGY game, but not a Real Time Strategy game. Its a fantastic series however, better than most of the games I have listed here, but I dont think it qualifies as a RTS.

2. To this day I still dont understand the fuss about Starcraft. Its was good, but not extoridinary. I view it as highly overrated.

3. Same goes for CnC series. I remember when the original came out, The gameplay really hasn't changed since the original. Weaken the enemy with Tank rushes, then use the WMD. Fun with the original, now Boring.

Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns is probably the most overlooked RTS game ever. That, and Sacrifice.

Oh, and did you guys forget about Myth 2: Soulblighter and Battlezone?

1.Warhammer 40k

2.Warcraft 3

3.Starcraft

4.Rise of nations

10.Cossacks 2

1. Warcraft II ( the best Real Time Strategy ever)

2. Rise of Nations

3. Age of Empires II

4. Warcraft III

5. Command & Conquer Red Alert II

6. Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth (great multyplayer game)

7. Brood War : Starcraft (great multyplayer game)

8. Homeworld II
