Best Strategy Game Ever Nominations

[Swein Forkbeard]

Since this seems to be CivFanatics' favorite type of game, I decided to put together a poll about the best strategy game. Oh, I mean a tournament. Just like Gamespy's title fight or such. Nominate ten games. Here's what I nominate. And economic simulations count too!

StarCraft
Civilization
Civilization II
X-COM: UFO Defense
Warcraft II
Pirates!
The Sims 2
Age of Empires
Rome: Total War
The Sims

Gee, I wonder what will win.

 

[Icekommander]

Heroes of Might and Magic III
Warcraft III
Civ IV


I think that pretty much covers it. Military TBS, RTS and Economic/Military RTS. I've dumped way to much time into these games (especially the first two)

Edit: Warcraft II
Roller Coaster Tycoon

Best strategy game ever.

At a civ forum.

Yeah, this is going to be unbiased...

Everyone knows the best strategy game ever will be command and commander: beyond the annihilation CXVI, made in 2387, shortly before poeple start using real humans(don't worry, they are drones) as pawns in their strategy games.

Paradox defeats Sid Meier with a single blow.

 

[GoodSarmatian]

RTS: Starcraft, uncontested
TBS: Tie between Master of Orion 2 and Alpha Centauri

Haven't played both games in years, but there has been no game so far in their respective genre which I liked better for a long time.
Honorable mention goes to Rome : Total War (haven't played Medieval 2).

Umm...which game is 10 years old and is owned by 1/3rd of the population of a country that hosts professional tournaments aired on basic cable and whose players are celebrities?

Yeah, Halo ain't got nothing on Starcraft.

Civ4. I am SO ADDICTED TO IT IT'S CRAZY AND RUINING MY LIFE HOW CAN I MAKE IT STOP?!?!

I should quit it. Completely. I mean it.

You are supposed to nominate ten games. YES tactical RPGs like Final Fantasy Tactics and Freedom Force count. Also, the top 4 nominees will each receive a #1 seed and a division named after them. There will be 32 games. If you haven't nominated ten games, your nominations will not count. Nominate something you don't have if that's the case!

You are supposed to nominate ten games.

We don't like making lists as much as you do.

He doesn't make lists, he "borrows" them from various game websites.

Alright, 5 or more. And it seems Rome: Total War is the only game with more than 1 nomination right now.
