The game was in a league on its own when it came out back in 1992, mixing Real-Time Strategy with production chains that had never been done before. I have played every Settlers game since and witnessed its decline from being one of the best strategy franchises out there to the insignificant blip on the radar that was Settlers 6. I had all but written the game off until the first footage of Settlers 7: Paths to a Kingdom gave me hope of a true revival of the series. That revival, I am happy to report, did indeed arrive and in many ways BlueByte took the game back to its roots, adding many modern day features to make the game live up to today's expectations."
Chillopedia: Strategy games hold particular importance for the gaming community as these type of games involve a lot of thinking and require wit to outsmart the enemy. And that’s exactly what makes them so exciting. The feeling of outsmarting another person or even AI is heavenly for any gamer.
Not a bad article, although the list contains two turn-based strategy games, which are _not_ RTS titles.
Warcraft 2 was my all time favorite.
I remember many days spent skipping school and playing multilayer on HEAT.net
Anyone remember the legendary Dune II? Such a great game and I wish they would make a new Dune RTS.
Too right, half the games on that list, including the 'crafts', owe most of their gameplay mechanics to the venerable Dune 2. It's a bit of an ommission, actually, given the list is so nostalgia-based.
Command & Conquer Zero Hour is my most favourite strategy games next to warcraft 3. Wish blizzard would make warcraft 4
