thanks for your review on Starcraft 2. The skirmishes in SC1 were absolutely horrible. Totally predictable. Fighting Zerg... - First rush only Zerglings. - Second rush a mix with Hydras. - Third rush usually air units. - Fourth rush usually mixed units and maxed out units. That was it. The enemy bases always sucked hard, so easy to take out. Is it at least better than that? Yeah not too interested in MP. I heard SC2 has a better map editor though if you want to make cool custom missions. Also Supreme Commander... I have heard about it. Apparently the maps are huge and you can have massive armies. But the AI sucks bad? I heard it has physics though.
Someone mentioned Homeworld on another forum I go to. I heard it is one of the best RTS games ever, yet I have never heard of before making that post. I looked up the original and the graphics are pretty bad. I will check the other one out though. Stronghold... That is one I forgot about. Fantastic game also had beautiful graphics. I love medieval games. I only played the first as I heard the others were terrible. I hope they make another. Total War. Here about it a lot, but I heard it's just big battles, not building empires or anything.
I am looking for a new RTS game and I don't want to waste my money. Reviews don't cut it for me. I like to get as many opinions as I can. To give you an idea what I have played. - Original C&C and Red Alert Series. Bought them the day they came out. Own them up until Firestorm (C&C), Yuri's Revenge (RA), C&C Generals. - Age of Empires 1-3. - Star Wars Empire at War - Company of Heroes - Warcraft 2 - Starcraft & Brood War might be forgetting a few really good ones. I was recently playing AOE3 and that game is fantastic. It gets bashed a lot because yes... Age of Empires 2 is better. I like AOE2 more because I like the medieval era. Got boring after a while though because I remember everything. The AI is kinda clunky and I wish the battles could be a bit better. I really like building large cities and stuff. Not quick games were you just zerg each other. Oh and graphics do matter for me. I don't want an old game that looks like crap. AOE3 for the year it was created looks amazing. The water crashing on the shores, the ship battles, the gaia - such as wolves howling and rolling around near treasure, etc. I am sure there are way better looking games now. Actually I should add Company of Heroes was probably the best RTS game I have seen graphics wise. Physics engine is a must now in my opinion. It just makes things way cooler. CoH was amazing with craters and damaged areas after destroying buildings / vehicles. I have already heard of Starcraft 2 - I do not own it yet though. I heard it's not much different besides a good campaign and new units. Please be detailed I will check back here a lot. This could help others too. Also doesn't have to be huge on multiplayer. I love Skirmish. Thanks!
