Best Strategy Games Part Two.

[CivIVMonger]

Okay, here is the real list. (TMIT, you could give me my licence back now!) Here, in this list, you will see the games that you would pick. I cannot include EVERY game but I will do my best! And really, the number two thing threw alot of people off, just pick the game you like best on the list.

I confer upon you your hardcore license, and due to good behavior (also listing a game from the HOMM series), I'm not adding any bad points to it .

I wonder which stronghold it is? There's the newer one and a somewhat unique older one based on dungeons and dragons - both fit the bill as strategy games!

I'll go ahead and pick starcraft but doing so over some on the list, especially HOMM III, is quite difficult.

I also loved the warlords series by SSG, but that was never popular...and it's also very hard to vote against MIND WORMS and alpha centauri .

Is there any game I missed so that I can fix the poll B4 it's too late?

 

[Adria]

I'll keep my vote the same as before:

Other (Board game) - RoboRally

The bf says Master of Orion 2, just barely over HoMM III.

Hearts of Iron

 

[katipunero]

y warcraft of course.

 

[De Begerac]

Out of that lot it has to be Starcraft. Nothing else I've played has been so well balanced, tweaked and perfected.

Cyrano

My short list:

1. Civ, in any form but Colonization.
2. Galactic Civilizations II
3. Not really startegy games, but D&D type games are fun, too.

Darn, I ignored the list. Well, jeez, you forgot some.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Lemon, i didn't realise you were such a nerd

Call of Cthulhu best D&D type game though,

I picked AOE II, i never played starcraft. Infact I never much played AOE II supremacy either. For me It was all about just having some fun on all the amazing and varied custom scenarios out there; CBA was my favourite, but later on i also liked RPG's.

you can still play aoe2 online at igzones. If anyone wanted to know how.

Are you kidding? I transcend nerdiness. I was in a bookstore once, standing in line with an armload of sci-fi and computer books, and the little girl in line ahead of me with her Mum said "Mummy, is that lady a dork?"

Yes, really!

 

[Tronicoz]

Heroes III
Starcraft
Warcraft
C&C Red Alert 1
orion

wondeful games

 

[GrayingGamer]

Am I the only one who really separates RTS from turn-based strategy (TBS?) in their mind?

I like turn-based strategy games so much because they're entirely cerebral. No multi-tasking, building macroing, drag+drop+attack frenzy that takes place in other games - not that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed RTS games, but they generally are more eye-candy, less brain-candy IMHO.

Red Alert 1 is now freeware, by the way. You can legally download the full game from EA.

Well, if it bothers you (though nerd-dom might be something to take pride in ) you can always take the "scares small children" approach. That seems to work for me regardless of whether I try to apply it .

While Civ is the best, any of the Total War games are a very close second (decimal points), mainly because they have real battles. Best total war game is Rome:Barbarian Invaision, while Medieval II is
also really good.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't see the Rome TW option.

 

[Rusty Edge]

I didn't vote. I don't know that I've played any of those computer games . The best thing I can say about Risk is that it uses a world map.

Pre-CIV, I burned a lot of time on GATO.

I'd like to agree that Risk is a game of luck.
