Hi,

First off this should have been posted in the VIDEO games section.

Have you lived under a rock? there are many RTS out there.
C&C redalert3 is one of the most recent (i havent played it yet but C&C = always a good choice)
But there are many others just go to any game site and look for some.

Good luck

I recomend the Age of empires series. good capasigns and a nice balance of difficulty. Lots of units as well. AoE 2 is my favourite but it is a few years old now. AoE 3 is the latest and is very fun with nice graphics.

Don't forget Age of Mythology. If you are more into fantasy than normal war, you should try AoM.

I guess you could call the Zoo and Roller Coaster Tycoon strategy games.

Meh I would say they are more sims than strategy but they are brilliant all the same.

I didn't like it as much as the main series but it was fun having all the monsters (the Nidhogg is great) I didn;t like the graphics much. but it is still a great game.

Yea maybe they aren't the best strategy. But the Age of Empires are really good strategy.

The Total War games are also great.

I have Age of Empires II: TC. I have downloaded a lot of custom campaigns and scenarios.

Nah, that ain't so good... C&c generals and red alert 1 are better...

Generals is awesome! I have Zero Hour. I also have Red Alert 2.

The older RTS games are good too. Newest is not necessarily best.

Did not like the C&C games. Zap Brannigan's law ftl.

Go for something made by Relic, like Company of Heroes or Dawn of War 2.

Starcraft.is.epic.

If you want an RTS and don't mind a slightly older game you HAVE to get Starcraft. I don't think I've ever played a better RTS. I really liked the storyline and the variety of tech and upgrades trees among the races is brilliant. Mass hydras FTW.

Plus the online play is a lot of fun, especially UMS games. I do believe Starcraft began this whole turret defense genre of flash games.

Yes these are good games, and i would also recommend warcraft, starcraft, age of time (not an age of empire series) and sometimes when i get bored of real time i play turn based strategy like civilization 1 2 3 and 4
