I played these ---

AOE 1, 2

AOM+ Expansion AOT

ROT+ Expansion TnP

But my favourite are

WARCRAFT III and the expansion pack FROZEN THRONE

But I never liked Civilisation III that much, although it's one of the most hyped games

AOE2 rockz, especially wid the conq. expansion.
WC3 is another gr8 game.
AOE1 = cr@p for me
AOM=gr8 campaign, but useless afterwards
RON=nice game,second after AOE...surely
Civ3=confusing sort of

Couldnt play Civ4 and AOE3 coz of my pldie rig !!! :(

And my fav game is

It's nice to see you all playing nothing other AOE when it comes to strategy. :shock: Anyways, AOE 2 + Conqr. expns is very good game indeed. But my fav. is entire C&C series.. and best of them is 'Red Alert 2' Besides nothing can match 'Sid Mier's Civ III '.

my best strategy games are

age of empires II
comandoes all

but the best game is CIVILIZATION 3. Well its really confusing and hard for the beginners. I bought the game and installed but it was so confusing i didnt touch it for almost a year. After a year i tried again and that day i played till 5 am morning lol. This is the most addictive game i ever played. Days passes like seconds playing it . I had a month holidays that time and i used to play almost 15-16hrs a day.

Best Strategic:
1) Hitman 2 - Silent Assasin
2) Hitman 3 - Contracts
3) AOE II

Well this may sound little wierd but my gameplay in Hitman was more Strategic than Gunfires and all..

I use to bag Silent Assasin Rating for all Missions in both the versions of game. Yet to play Hitman 1 and 4 (Released i guess)

After reading all those praises of Civ 3, i tried to get the hang of the game to see how it was, and indeed, its impressive. Yes, it did take me a bit of time to get used to it, but now its fun. Only thing unenjoyable here are the way battles are fought---luck and chance---a spearman can even defeat a rifleman or sometimes(it happened) a TANK.:-o The second disappointing thing is that the unique units are not very much different from the units they replace...ie. almost all their skills are same exept one skill which is greater by one or two points. This does make some sense in earlier ages, but in modern ages, it doesnt :(
Only thing AOE2 was missing was that it did not have expansionism till the modern age--no tanks, no rockets and all....but RON is suffice to meet these demands.
Hence , AOE2-Conq and RON-Thrones remain on top of my list

May 13, 2006 at 1:02 PM
AOE II - The conq expansion.
If console/handheld games are allowed-

Fire Emblem
Adavance Wars

AOE series is surely my fav.
Command and conquer series is also nice.
If 'pharaoh',' caesar III' and 'Zeus' also fit into this category they are also entertaining.
Casino incl. is also good.
Of the -------- tycoon games I have played only Roller coaster tycoon and its nice.
Ummmm let me think a bit more.........
Ye, Metal Fatigue is also very good.
How could I forget the commandos series. They are also my favourites.
Clso combat is a bit slow but nice.
Ground control was also addictive till its missions were'nt completed.
And let me think a bit more till then keep playing and rocking and making your mind the perfect strategist.


What do you think about this?
When we play the strategy game for the first time we must complete it without cheats as the cheats make the game too easy and gives us a heavy hand in the game.

May 15, 2006 at 12:09 AM
Warcraft III is my favourite..... The graphics and gameplay (especially the story) rock!!!!!
The AOE Series is gud too, as are Rise of Nations and Age of Mythology........

Well its nice 2 see that people love the classics (including their expansions)such as COMAND AND CONQUER!!!, AOE(any ver.), RON,War Craft,etc. You get the idea,but moving on to current developments, has anyone played Active War from ATARI? I heard its REALLY GOOD. Almost got the game but fate dictated other wise. I'll post a reply as soon as i play it.heres the link to check it out:

its sad that not many people mentioned CnC. those games were and still are the best RTS out there. With CnC 3 Tiberian wars officially announced for a release next year its gonna kick all the other RTS's away.

Peace through power. :p

warcraft 3 frozen throne undouted the best strategy game ever juz cuz the number of possible strategies dat can be exectuted with each havin a counter dat the opponet has to play...also cuz of the fast paced combat action cuz u need to micro if u r to win the battle which makes it like an action game involving hand and eye cordination along wid strategy...its really the best

Aug 20, 2006 at 7:16 PM
for me its gotta be warhammer 40K: Dawn of war + expansion

it gets rid of the the whole resource collecting idea n rewards u for aggressive moves...

AOE 1 & 2 are also pretty good... hate AOE 3 though

the warcraft series is also pretty .. i remember playing Warcraft 1 on my first pc which was a compaq with a75 mhz pentium n win 95
warcraft 3 was also pretty good, the story was awesome but i kinda felt disappointed by the combat elements of the game which seemed to reward your clicking speed instead of the strategy u used

anyway as far as turn based strategy games go nothing comes to Civilization4

Try Lord of The Rings: Battle for middle earth II. It is good game for strategy and looks good too. The AI is good. It plans strategies according to your level or gameplay.
