Guys firstly sorry for starting this thread. I did do a search to see if there are any similar threads but I don't see anything which was created recently.

Can you kindly advise me on a good strategy game in the lines of Age of Empire.
I have played AOE II, AOEIII and Age of Mythology. Are there any other series from the same team which is equally good which I would have missed.

Also played Empire Earth.

If you are into future scenarios, check out Command and Conquer series. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is also good. Dawn of War II is not like AoE though.

^^I'm not sure about the future scenarios etc but the theme should be similar to age of empires like building a base and attacking the enemy.

Uh.. Civilization doesn't quite fall into the same category as Age of Empires. Age of Empires is a Real-time Strategy game , Civ is TURN-based strategy.

Well, with that out of the way, you should give Majesty 2 a shot. It's a really unique RTS , since you can't give orders to units :)

Oh yeah , +1 to those that mentioned Starcraft.

One more. Shogun total war.

Why just Shogun Total War? Recommend the entire Total War series.

Rome : Total War is my personal favourite.

Shougun Total war is not exactly in the lines of AoE. At times, it is a whole different genre.

Preferable PC since I don't seem to enjoy that much on mobile but that was with my Sony Ericsson k750i way back in 2007.
I'm sure with my Note2 it would be better now. Will be great if there is one for Note2.

What are the mobile strategy games like AoE?
AoE itself is having a tower defense strategy game, AoE:Castle Seige, but it's available for only WP.
