The Best Strategy Game - old strategy

I'm gonna put down the games I think are the best in a few categories of features of strategy games, and as the author of this forum specified, they're all old games -(please, warcraft II is a nightmare to run on a pentium 3, who ever got the idea its an old game??) Ancient civilizations, lots of cool battles, city building - Age of Empires 1 (really old), Age of Empires 2 :Kings/Conquerors (more features, released a couple of years later, but a cakewalk for pentium2/3 systems) Ancient civilizations, Plain old City building but still great gameplay experience - Caesar 2/ 3 (played it for the first time on a Pentium 1) Modern warfare, great gameplay experience - Command and Conquer : Red Alert & Command and Conquer : Red Alert 2 (In one word, awesome!) Others should feel free to add to this list in this format for easy comparison:)

The best strategy game thus far has to be either world of warcraft or starcraft. These two games are carefully put together and balanced that drives the gamers to an addiction for the game. So much to learn and so many ways to play your squads. Each race has its advantage and so forth, so makes combat interesting. Blizzard has gone very far into expanded both the warcraft universe as well as the starcraft universe. Now with warcraft in its next phase that is called world of warcraft, Blizzard will be soon releasing the most anticipated game to be launched this year. That game would be known as Starcraft 2. A game that many strategy enthusiast like myself are looking foward to play and experience. This game offers a motherload of improvements over its predecessor. Everything from graphics to gameplay to new races, starcraft 2 will probably set the bar for other game makers that are competing with them for the best know strategy game ever made to date. But in the upcoming months we will see what Blizzard have in store for us as many of us are irritatinly waiting. Many years has past since the release of the first game, and Blizzard has finally decided it was time to release the sequel.

Most people agree and I agree that strategy games are the LESS boring or boringLESS games you can hook up with, it can stick your ass on the chair for 12 hours or more!

I recommend WarCraft or Dota it's the most addictive game in our place. Few years back, I can recall Gundam Wing.

Or you could try super mario! on a quad-core system! ehehehe

Empire Earth does have it's ups and downs but having I and IIbmakes up for it. EEII gives you strategy with your allies and the first is all the best ot the original.

All the listed games are good. I try for modern warfare like C&C Generals, also medieval 2 total war. The best graphics but not for beginners or older computers. (XP or Vista) I have bettan Warcraft and Starcraft and I am still addicted just to the campaigns. Used to play Red alert 2 and it is still one of the best games of all time. Lets give it up for Westwood studios, EA games and Seirra studios!

feed back, you might be thinking about pharaoh: http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/198289.asp?q=pharaoh

the game fits what you describe... and is a kind of follow up to the games you mention...

what concerns strategy games Starcraft is probably the most famous ever and is still quite played this day. It has good story, good music and good race balance. That is it is almost impossible to say which of the three races is the best.

also if you want never strategy games there is company of heroes which is nice enough and world in conflict which is a little less nice

1. Civilization 3- It doesn't look the best but I love the gameplay and can sit in front of it for hours on end.
2. Black and White 2- Its different then any other game I have played in a good way and just like with Civ 3 I could play it for hours.
3. Rome Total War- I love it but it doesn't have some thing important but I don't know what. Still a great game.
