What happened to the Tycoon series? Why was it not mentioned as a choice... This is real bad... All poll makers must allow for all the possible options... That way we can vote seriously!

Simcity 3000 period. Boy it was fantastic. I used to like AoE2 earlier but I am fed up of war games. Alien Crossfire was not bad.

NO BORING STRATEGY GAMES

I also thought like that.But after that initial craze for 3d specially FPS games was over (although lasted more than four years),I accidently played one of demos from digit.And there was no looking back,believe me Ifu havent played warcraft,Age of myth.,rise of nations and C&C generals u have missed alot in gaming. Just give it a try.Start with RON.

RON is a good game but its monotonous and kind of gets boring after a while. And u have to be bleady fast in that... especially in the TOUGH and TOUGHER modes

i personally think ron is the best.

it has both micromanagmnt and combat.

u gott build cities and a set no of buildings for each like university, library(as backup in case of nuke attack on capital), mines, smelters, wonders, and also defense buildings like AA,towers,forts, barracks, stable and seige factory. so there is plenty of micromanagment. and plus u hafta conquer cities and hold them and manage ur big AF and navy too. or else they wont be siitng duck but siiting idle doing nothing. unles attacked first.

micromanagemt for economies is to send scout scouting , merchants and caravans, and tap all resources b4 the prices of researches and army goes up.

and it has cool grpahics(especially nuking ones) and realistic game play to play all human history in under 30 mins. i defeated the opponent with bantu tribe in 20 mins at moderate in deathmatch.

I just love the warcraft III: Reign of Chaos storyline. It is so intense. Its almost like watching a movie. The Frozen throne expansion wasn't so good though.


AOE was also good.

I second that opinion. Voted for the Warcraft series.
But my favorite strategy game is Command and Conquer Generals and the expansion "Zero Hour".

AOE and RISE OF NATIONS....

Though Hitman II and III are FPS games still.. i played them as Strategic.. I mean got Silent Assasin in all of them... so i may include them in Strategic...

overall... Hitman II was the best ever played..
