Very refreshing to see a story give the list right at the top of the article rather than making you click through it 15 times. Having said that, how do you not have HoMM3 on the list?! Yes, it's turn-based strategy, but it still has a strong multiplayer following 22 years later.
Asad Quadri of The Koalition writes: Eugen Systems have a reputation for making some of the toughest RTS games available.

The best way for a player to make their mark on the game or tailor the flow of a match to their playstyle is through deck-building or battlegroup composition.
