Well I never really got into RTS besides age of mythology back when i was a kid. What are some good singleplayer RTS games. I need some good ones that have excellent features. Doesn't have to be the easiest ones though.

Well of course theres Starcraft I and II. Civ5 just came out and apparently thats really good but thats not really a RTS. Age of Empires IV was cheap recently. Warhammer Dawn of War is another one.

Dawn of War I + all expansion packs and Supreme Commander 1 + Forged Alliance expansion. Both are top notch RTS games.

You can start from Red Alert 2 -> Youri's Revenge -> Red Alert 3.

The most addictive RTS ever: Command and Conquer: Generals + Zero Hour expansion.

Starcraft 1 and 2, Age of Empires 1 and 2 (never like 3), Dune 2, Warcraft 1 and 3, Red Alert 1 -3, Rome:Total War, Heroes of Might and Magic 3, Dungeon Keeper 1 (2 not so tough), Command and Conquer. Thats all I can think of games I liked and played.

Of those I own:

Homeworld 1 and 2

Sins of a Solar Empire

Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars

Command and Conquer: Generals and Zero Hour

Red Alert 2

------

Dungeon Keeper 2 is also a favorite of mine. But, it may be tricky to run on recent PCs for some people.

I recommend Dawn of War 2... It very fun and the combat is very satisfying... I don't recommend DoW 1 since you are new to the RTS genre..the game is all about rushing...

Other great RTS games:

  • Company of heroes
  • Age of Empires 3
  • Sins of a Solar Empire
