Personally RTS is my favourite genre and i think its because of the large scale combat combined with an increased sense of accomplishment once you win cause by longer matches than most titles. Ill agree that it isnt really friendly for newcomers to the genre but once your in you get hooked. Oddly enough i really dont like mobas even though they share some similarities. I guess it is because that only revolves around micromanagement on a single character. You guys should definitely try out one of the company of heroes games. It has the classic elements of base building and the rock paper scissors strength weaknesses, but also has fresh mechanics of units not always hitting the target, amd destructible envieroments which creates dynamic cover. This creates matches where luck also comes into play. To top it off they both have excellent campaigns and the first one is pretty cheap on steam by now. Next up move on to the total war franchise. It has a world map where you control an entire nation with everything from diplomacy to taxes to millitary research. It might seem overwhelming but they are surprisingly streamlined for what it offers. The best part is that once you enter battle you can play with litterally over 10.000 troops at a time.. Lastly aftwr you are aquainted with both of these you should try out hearts of iron 3. Consider it a very deep ww2 simulator where you can control any country in the world from 1936 till 1948 in an attempt to change history. In this game you need to manage pretty much every facet a leader would have to manage. Infrastructure, production, trade, politics, diplomacy, spies, supply networks, population happiness and their support to continue the war and so much more. All the while the war progresses. Will you control japan and finally be able to conquer china? Play as finland to repel the soviet winter invasion? go for world domination as the germans? Perhaps youll play as the british and help france put down germany as soon as they began mobilizing for war to make a quick end to it. Maybe you will invade the US as germany once you managed to make all of europe bow down before you.. What makes this great is the ability to change history |
I heard that company of heroes is a very visually impressive game too.Is the sequel any good?I remember playing age of empires 2 all that time ago and it was pretty memorable.I'm more into action than caring about raising up troops or buildings and gathering resources though so maybe that's why I can't follow this genre.Are resources and preperation fast on this one?
