In many ways the Settlers series and the Command & Conquer series are two sides of the same coin. They're both successful, long-running RTS games but while The Settlers moved away from its original design with each sequel, C&C stayed pretty much the same. That is until the most recent iteration of each IP. C&C4 was a radical departure from what fans were used to and it was a jarring end to the "Tiberium" arc. The Settlers 7: Paths To A Kingdom has done the opposite and moved back towards its original style after a few versions that had shed some of the character and uniqueness in order to fit in with typical RTSes.
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
