    The golden era of rts. AOE II, Warcraft 3, C&C, oh what a time it was!

    Starcraft literally was so influential it changed the RTS genre forever, for better or worse. AoE2 is good, but it aint no Starcraft.

    Sc/ Bw is still played competitively in Korea, isn’t it?

    and still going strong. (hell, it’s the only game my dad seems to play)

    even a sequel couldn’t beat the edifice that was built on top of it.

    I personally think Age of Mythology surpassed it. I was blown away when it came

    Somehow I ended up with the strategy guide for this game without ever having the game

    The absolute GOAT of RTS. Still going strong today and fun for casual and hard-core players.

    The definitive edition is up to 45 civilizations to choose from. There’s so much variety I put over 400 hours into it last year, and I still find something new every time I boot it up.

    Unpopular opinion but I loved AoE3 and mythology more than AoE2

  12. We all know Starcraft Brood War was the greatest rts though…

  13. Taylor is gooning as we speak, Kyle is grinding his teeth hoping not to have a panic attack

    To me the greatest RTS of all time is Rise of Nations. It had ages like AoE, borders and cities like Civ, fast paced gameplay that is very challenging because the AI was quite decent and a conquer the world mode. To be fair AoE had better campaigns, more distinct Civs, and a bit more charm. But purely gameplay, Rise of Nations is king to me.

    I’m much worse at this game as an adult than I ever was as a kid. Anyone else have a harder time, these days?

  16. FEAR MY 200 TEUTONIC KNIGHTS SWARMING YOUR PUNY CASTLE.

    I had so much fun making 5 40man squads and invading from all sides at once.
