Hello every one, I just got a lot of money in giftcards for Best Buy and want to use it to help me upgrade my CPU. I want a new good proccessor, some RAM, and a new motherboard if neccessary to get good quality of the previous two items. I want all of this as cheap as possible, but also effective enough to run pretty much everything on the market at at least medium settings. My DxDiag is in the next post. Ask for any additional info if you need it. Thanks for your time.

I love majesty. Haven't tried the second one yet. Any more suggestions?

Ok I made a thread yesterday talking about slower paced RTS games. But I have one more request from you guys. Are their any RTS games where you give general orders to units and they do the rest? Example would be telling a squad to attack a city from the left flank, then they do the rest. You don't have to micro-manage their movements, they carry out the orders like in real-life. The only time you would interfere would be to tell another squad to reinforce another quad, assault a general area, ect. But no micro-manageing? I have never seen this type of game yet it is the most realistic way of protraying real-life warfare. The squad leaders make the smaller decisions like movements.

Note this game does not need to be modern combat, this was just an example. Also please do not suggest Combat Mission Shock Force. A very good game and the closest thing I played to what I'm looking for, but you still micro-manage somewhat. Thanks for your time.

Wow shock force is awsome thanks.

Accually didn't like that game much. Thanks for the suggestion though, it is along the lines of what I'm asking for.

This thread makes me sad. Oblivion isone ofmy favorite game of all time........

Hey guys. I love strategy. I really do. But most rts games just don't suit me. The only game I found in the rts genre I absolutely love was the Toal War series. I just don't like the franticness of most rts games. In real life, you don't micro-manage each troop, you give them a general order and they do that. It just seems waaaay to focused on fast pacing for my tatse. I was wondering if there were any slow-paced rts games out there? And by frontline I mean you fight for ground on the map, pushing the enemies back ect, not like you get attacked from every angle every second of the game. Thanks guys.
