Well that tactic is kinda useless. Star craft is just select 12 units. Attack. Select 12 units attack etc etc etc. While TA has much bigger variarity in units and maps. In TA you can focus on air/sea/land. Weapon shots follow physics and dont just have a 60% change to hit. The moddability of TA is huge. You can change everything.

Also civ2 isnt a rts.

its a strat, just not real time, i bundle most if not all strategy games together

*Edit*

i mean they share a lot of simliarities between them, they are both war games, just one is turn based with a lot more options for victory.

Also just to note i\'ve never played two games of starcraft the same, sure the engine doesnt leave a lot of options for moding nor does the game have the same depth as a TA battle, but it makes up in sheer adrenalin, i always found TA games slow and boring, were as with starcraft i never found time to even consider the game because i was too emerced in trying to get my troops through battle

and yes reno, gameplay > shineyness

Ha! Anyway, Command and Conquer is the greatest strategy game ever.

del, you suck because you dont have to deal with rendering Wink
i do Tongue
anyways, moving on...
most strategy games are rather good,(especially in this conversation) because its always gameplay > graphics.
i dont see C&C busting out with shaders coming out of their ears, or any other RTS, but that doesnt make them any less of a blast to play.

this would also hint why we all still play the original TTR Wink

Newsflash: It\'s deader than a dodo, duder.

Anyway, you\'ve established that none of u prefer dynamite graphix to bad gameplay (duh!) and that yer\'all really adventure/strategy type nerds. Get on with it!

For once, I have to wholeheartedly agree with you! Don\'t ask me how that feels, okay Tongue

I was sort of addicted to Red Alert Skirmishes... Man, all those hours I spent building huge armies in Skirmish, only to give up and retry when I started to get slaughtered by my opponents... Ah the good old days Big Grin

the total war series are the best strategy games
