Real Time Strategy

Hello, I am wondering on what you guys like for RTS.

I personally love the Age of Empires series, own all of the cd's. I love the Battle for Middle Earth series, glad they are making a new one. Rise of Nations couldn't have been better, by far an excellent game.

Those are a few of what I like to play. What do you guys like to play? Are you a fan of Real Time Strategy games? If so, are you more into classic/traditional RTS or newer, such as Universe at War and Sins of a Solar Empire?

I have played a couple of RTS games such as Star Wars: Empire at War(my favorite) and lord of the Rings: War of the Ring. I'm looking forward on getting Battle for Middle Earth anytime soon. But I many people are saying you really do need to have a high spec PC to keep the game running smoothly. Am i right?

I played AOE:2 religiously for many years, absolutely loved it. I believe battle for middle earth used the same engine didn't it ? I might be wrong. I played that a little but started getting into counter strike around that time.

Other RTS genres titles i've enjoyed include

- C&C : Generals
- Warcraft 3

and a lesser known oldie ones from the 90s, did you ever play it ? It was by the bitmap brothers.

- Z

I'd love to get back into RTS games again, do you play online ?

I am not sure if it is the same engine. But it is like the best game I ever put my money into.

I don't really love playing online, because the first time I ever did I died in like 3 minutes. But I do play online with people I know, like from a clan I have been associated with for the FPS AVP2, I played Starcraft with a few of them.

I prefer the older RTS, like Age of Mythology and Rise of Nations. Currently also playing Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. WCIII is one of my favourites.
