It's been a while since I played a decent strategy game, can anyone recommend me any good ones? I was thinking of something like warcraft 3 or stronghold.
Here are some I didn't like:
I'm looking for base building type RTSs, so no crusader kings or civilization type games please.
The ideal RTS for me would probably be stronghold, but with just 1 map in the size of europe (or bigger), with diplomacy, marriages, 2D graphics, etc... so, like crusader kings but with base building.
Here are some I didn't like:
- Apart from stronghold crusaders and the original, I didn't like any of the other ones.
- Didn't like warcraft 2 much, felt clunky in controls.
- I played dawn of war 40k dark crusade or whatever it was called, the one with the green robots; I didn't like it much, it felt clunky in it's controls and it didn't have any story whatsoever; and the base building was unsatisfactory
- Majesty 2 -- I played this several years ago and didn't enjoy it, base building was weak, and I can't even remember the story.
- As mentioned, I like stronghold (the original and crusaders) a lot, but I can't seem to find anything close to it. The stuff I liked the most in stronghold was the 2D sprite based artwork, great base building and large-ish armies, as well as the touch of npcs just working or strolling around your base.
- I liked warcraft because the story was good and the base building was decent, not as good as stronghold's, but I liked it nonetherless.
- Another game I liked was heroes of annihilated empires, but the base building was a bit unsatisfactory and there wasn't much of base building; great army size though, and I liked the graphics.
- I liked age of mythology, good-ish base building, story wasn't too bad, and the graphics I kinda liked.
- I played one of the command and conquer games(some 2D one), but didn't like it much(don't remember why), although I'm more open to trying them if it's good enough.
- I kinda liked spellforce, but the story, and base building was not that good.
- Battle Realms -- I played through the white wolf campaign a long time ago, but recently I can't finish it anymore, I think it's because the base building is so bare bones and some of the mechanics it had I didn't like (gathering up chi or the ying/yang symbols to spawn mythic characters or something).
- I remember enjoying dungeon keeper, but I never finished it or even played it that much, I don't remember why; I played dungeon keeper 2 more, but I didn't like it as much.
- Age of empires 1/2 -- I didn't play much of it, I don't remember why in particular, I recently tried revisiting it with the HD remake, but only played it for a couple of hours, I can't really explain why I don't like it, weak story maybe?
