Which Game Do You Think Is Strategically The Best!!!!!!!!!
ahh talkin bout strategy games.. i prefer AOE series..
P
Best strategy game depends on how you look at it. I think that the original starcraft is perhaps the best strategy game ever. The three sides in starcraft are remarkably different, yet almost equal (Zerg are the strongest perhaps). Command & Conquer has also been a great series, and the C&C Red Alert 2 was a great RTS.
Warcraft 1 & 2 were good games, but Warcraft 3 was, well, boring (Just my opinion, your opinion may vary).
If you like turn based strategy games, then Age of Wonders is perhaps the best, with Civilisation a close second.
I am sure you know that in most of the RTSes, the AI cheats, that is, the AI may not have some restrictions which the human player may have. However, Freeciv is a turn based (freeware) strategy game, where the AI does not cheat - and still does a great job. There is also one more Fantasy turn based RTS available - Battle for wesnoth.
Head over to *www.happypenguin.org and download both Freeciv and Battle For Wesnoth. They are free, and really good games.

Well dude I guess C&C Red Alert 2 : Yuri's Revenge is the best !!!
Ahhh....Hearing the word strategy brings the AOE series in the mind. In fact Strategy is my fav game genre besides racing. I havn't seen any better game than the AOE and RON. These games rocks. All the game's departments, whether gameplay, sound effects, graphics are all the best. Seen the screen shots of AOE 3 and man they look awesome. Waiting for the game.
When it comes to traditional RTS, StarCraft and the Brood War expansion rules, definitely. When it comes to non-traditional RTS, the Homeworld series is plain awesome. When it comes to strategy and teamplay in military style FPS, its gotta be Rainbow Six 3, in normal FPS, the ONS mode in UT2004 requires the most strategy and teamplay.
Nothing compares with AOE series , especially the Conquerors Exapnsion pack. Also do you guyz remember Caesar III ? It was also a nice game.
No one is talking about turn based strategy games like
The Civiliztion or alpha centauri

What abt Rise of Nations ???
AOE 3 is going to be the best of all

Best one -- AOE and RON are the best ... you can call me a microsoft fan.
So no one plays tbs.....i see
Anyway ron:thrones and patriots is certainly the best traditional rts due to the addition of the cool campaifgns

I liked Rise of Nations and Civ III .

Well if ur talking abt 'strategy oriented' games, it's gotta be Deus Ex for me (though it wasn't marketed as a "strategy oriented" game or nething close to that). Hell lotsa tactics u can employ there..stuff prbbly even the developers didn't think abt!
THats y they call it an action rpg. well deus ex 2 was quite toned down

Even CS (if played with the right crowd)
Come over to our college LAN sometime and you'll what CS stategy is all about when you see a bunch of low skill gamers kicking AWPer butt.

I feel Age of empires ,Kings and conquerors.
And the fifth scenario in the barbarossa capaign still challenges me. I don't tink rise of nations is a pure strategy because it's too much automated ie it prompts u to create a caravan aftr you build two cities etc., That's unfair!

Those prompts can be disabled as far as I can remember.

Ahhh...one who likes Black and White. I personally think it's an RTS with one of the most amazing concept!

Half Life 2's the best. Ever.
Half Life 2? A strategy game? Read the topic dude!

It's not about "Strategy" games as such but abt "Strategically Oriented" games. Call it 'intellectually stimulating" if u like. But neway HL2 qualifies for being a "strategically" good game.

Right Gaurav, command was one hell of a game...in my hostel, boyz used to sit together while playing commando and weigh each and every strategy option. 
....we screwed sem exams playing commando through out the night... 
But my vote goes to C&C:red alert2 and Yuri's revenge......

1 -> Commandos series
2 -> Age Pf empires series
3 -> Command and Conquer Red alert series

Rome total War should sit right on top
As of now, Warhammer 40k dawn of war. Its just awesome
