The best RTS/ civilization games

[Pyrosocial]

So I'm looking to get a few new RTS and civilization games for my rig, and figured I would make this a thread for people to post good civilization games with a military aspect to them on here. So far the best ones I have come across are shogun 2 and age of empires 3. Know any others?

There's a Russian made one called Elven Legacy that's worth a look in the RTS category. And (slightly retro) Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri / Alien Crossfire was always fun.

Civilization I. :biggrin:

I know it's mythical, but it's historical, as well...Age of Mythology. My favorite RTS of all time. :biggrin:

 

Age of Empires 3 is awesome, too. But I have to say AoM is better. It's by the same people, but involves Ancient Greek, Norse, and Egyptian cultures.

Personally I'm lovin SupCom (first 1 + Forged Alliances) and Sins of a Solar Empire. Most of the games listed here I like too...I haven't played them in a while though.

 

Kings and Castles looks promising but...now it's on hold.

do the Heros of might and magic series count?

If you're looking for a really good RTS game, you definitely should try the first game in the Rise of Nations series! It can be a bit out of date (2003), but it is for sure one of the best games I've ever played! :thumbsup: It has everything a good RTS game should have, and more! :biggrin:
