| okr said: My most favorite RTS game is still the very first one I ever played: Dune II (which was also one of first RTS games ever developed). It blew me away. Then came WarCraft 1+2, C&C series, AoE, Dungeon Keeper. Good times. Best RTS ever created (and #2 in my list of favorites): AoE II. |
The golden age of pc rts games. I grew up on Dune II, the game used to drive my parents crazy, ready, reporting, on my way. Dune was actually the first one I played but the RTS there was just a small experimental component. I made a scenario editor for Dune 2 (levels were simple text files) and played it for years with friends. Always fun to make a scenario with a whole row of palaces of the Harkonnen side, then try to survive the regular armageddon missile launches :)
AoE II is the last great one I played as well. I like base building and the RTS genre has been moving away from that ever since.
To the op: Have you tried Settlers, can't get more relaxing then that. (Well they did add more fighting in the later ones :/)
Nowadays I stick to games like Tropico for that building itch. Simply destroying stuff isn't fun anymore.
