Your best/favorite Strategy war game
 

Figured I might as well see everyones opinion on this while I was at it. I have played many RTS games. The only one I ever got competitive in was Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne. I played Starcraft, Age of Empires, and Age of Mythology online as well. My favorite was Warcraft 3 because it was so well balanced while at the same time, was easy enough to controll and you didn't have to have the micromanagment down to the lvl of Donald Trump to get things done right. Age of Mythologies was probably better, but I just didn't have the time to dedicate to it. I was too busy with Warcraft. What are your opinions?

Oh man, let's see...

I guess I'd have to choose Medieval: Total War. It was programmed by god and handed down to Creative Assembly for distribution to me. That how much the game fit my personality and gaming style.

Yes, that was a truly fine game out of so many other, excellent choices.

Id say any of the Total War series, as well as Blitzkrieg:Total Challenge (the name speaks for itself)

Rise of Nations is probably the best one I have played in my opinion. I like Total War: Shogun, but it's usually not a good sign when your getting your ass handed to you during the tutorial, again and again.

hands down starcraft

Harpoon. It used to run so slowly on my old PC (my first PC) that I would read a book while the game ran at 4x or whatever was the fastest time compression.

Rome was a great game! I love that one.

Dune

Gotta love old skool

All of the Total War games are my favorites.

Starcraft. I still play it to this day.

Age of Empires II and Rise of Nations are my votes!

I can't have just one... I have to say Starcraft, AoE, AoK and WC2.

I still play AoK, and I'd play Starcraft if I still had the game.

Rome: Total War, no doubt about it.

Myth and MythII:Soulblighter are my favorite of all time. Made by the same company that brought you Halo :)

Myth III Sucked tho, wasnt made by bungie

i gotta go with starcraft with wc2 a close second,

i never got into wc3, and the earlier aoe's were ok

Total War.

Age of Empires II, Rise of Nations, and Rome: Total War

Well, my PC could prolly only run Age of Empires 2, but I still think it's soooooooo awesome

Starcraft (I'm Justwill on West coast).

mine sweep, 8 seconds

I'm gonna have to go with Command and Conquer: Generals w/ Zero Hour expansion. There's something truly satisfying about carpet bombing an incoming column of laser tanks with a stealth bomber. :D

Ha! 7 seconds for me :p

And 56 for inter, and 169 for expert.

age of empires 2 conquerors

Rome: Total War

Total Annihilation, hands down.

Runners up:
Starcraft, SW:Galactic Battlegrounds, Warcraft 2, Age of Mythology, and the first two Myth games get a special mention for being so different and awesome.

starcraft and warcraft 2, but i must admit that ive never played any later rts startegys although every time i go by the wc3 set im tempted to buy it

Starcraft.

Still...can't....stop...playing...

The best is probably StarCraft but my favorite has to be Age of Empires III

Starcraft is the best. Without a doubt.

Long live blizzard.

AoE 3? But it's not out yet! :p

Hmmm

Warcraft III the frozen throne all the way. I like all the microing and the challenge it presents.
