[Whyallapunk]

[25GTT]

[ABuSD]

1. Dune 2

2. Company of Heroes

3. Red Alert 2

4. Civ 3

5. Black and White

Havent played C&C3 enough yet to rate it... seems a lot better and more RA to me then the last effort.

Dune 2 is still my all time favorite... love the old graphics and gameplay... nothing like a tank rush to take down multiple bases. Go the mighty Harkonen!

Total Annihilation then Command & Conquer Generals

though Supreme Commander is bloody amazing too, I just havent had a chance to play it much since I built my new system.

one game I have spent over $3000 building a new box for thats coming out soon...

http://au.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/worldinconflict

from the screenshots and videos I've seen, I'm sure it will be by far the most realistic strategy game ever to be released, if not the most realistic war game ever (so far I give this to ArmA (Armed Assault) which is virtually Operation Flashpoint 2 and its a First Person shooter (with a fair bit of stratefy components as well).

Just got warhammer as I mentioned I would before, not bad, similar in a way to warcraft but i like how you pick which bit of the map you want to overtake next and builds up your main character, its bloody hard though! even on medium setting I have had to restart the level or go back to a saved game.

Great game for low to mid range gaming machines as it doesnt requires heaps of anything yet still has quite nice graphics and good gameplay, i am actually quite impressed with it so far.

[MrGTST]

Have you had any problems with it crashing???

And do you have the latest patch???

[25GTT]

HAHAHAH!!! yeah it is always bloody crashing, i have brought my clocked cpu down a level hoping it would stop doing this but it still does it.

Dark Crusade is the one I am playing of warhammer. Crashes at least once per level.

So does the patch fix this?

[MrGTST]

Oh I was talking about Warhammer: Mark of Chaos....

Dark Crusade never crashes for me

[25GTT]

Do you know which is newer? Dark crusade or Mark of Chaos?

[MrGTST]

Do you know which is newer? Dark crusade or Mark of Chaos?

I think you will find Mark of Chaos is newer... but one is based on fantasy and one in sci fi...

havent heard of homeworld 2,might have to check it out.

have nearly finished now Dawn of War dark crusade, 2 more bad guys to go :-) gets bloody hard though, if anyone has finished this let me know some good tips because some of the levels i have to replay about 10 times...

Searching now for homeworld 2..... :-)

[MrGTST]

To be honest I took the easy way out in Dark Crusade.... I completed it under Chaos but only defeated 2 armies... I basically spent all my turns reinforcing my areas, meanwhile the other teams eliminated each other and I just had to eliminate the last enemy

The only other tip I can give you is when you are attacking the enemy, its actually easier to attack their main base instead of other sections of the map, well I found it was anyway cause the map is structured to the story line...

Hope some of that made sense

Shattered Galaxy.

Still playing after 7 years.

http://www.sgalaxy.com/

Shattered Galaxy, the world's first published massively multiplayer online real-time strategy game, combines the excitement of real-time strategy with the character development of role-playing in a persistent online world.

Searching now for homeworld 2..... :-)

Should be able to get the demo with minimal effort. Then at least you would know if your interested or not. I actually just finished beating the single player campaign again. I seem to want to play the full campaign about 3x a year.

yeah you are right, its definately offensive style game, i get my bigger units to head straight for the base while my little units hold off the pcs army, then the big units kill their base.

Now one of them are really hard as EVERYTHING of theirs is invisible!!!!!! I have gone the campaign of one of the good guys, red commandos or somethings, all the units are red and they have units like mammoth tanks and walking robots like little bit like ed-209 from robocop but with more missiles..... :-) The main leader is a human.

Checked out homeworld 2... definately different some of the picture shots are quite nice, so do you follow around the ships or does it do that for you as some of the camera shots were following behind the fighter ships looked pretty good!?
