Thread title pretty much explains it. What's your favorite strategy game? (not including SRPGs because those are different from RTS' and turn-based strat games I'm talking about)

Mine would have to be...

 

[Saint Cornelius]

Starcraft. It's really the only one I've ever learned to play.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

Civ II has taken countless hours of my life. I love it. Good choice.

I also really loved AW on the Gameboy. I still think it's the best game on the system.

 

[Alex]

Age of Mythology, Kohan and Sacrifice for RTS's. Probably Disciples 2 as far as TBS goes.

 

[brooklyngooner]

Age of Kings, Rise of Nations, Medieval: Total War.

I'm sure Rome: Total War will own me too.

 

[Tabris]

Here are two other games I think are a good second and third:

 

[MrAngryFace]

KOHAN AHRIMANS GIFT JESUS CHRIST THIS IS GODS GIFT TO STRAT GAMING!

 

[jarrod]

Advance Wars 1-2. Best games this generation.

 

[Saint Cornelius]

Oh! Wait, I take back Starcraft. Koei strategy games are the shit.

 

[Wario64]

X-Com UFO Defense

 

[explodet]

Although I've been playing strategy games foreer, recently I have been playing:

Advance Wars 2 (Fuck YOU, Risky Vale)
Civilization 3 (although Civ 2 rocks as well - it's all about Minister Elvis)
Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne (I hate Blademasters)

And I'll be putting some time into Front Mission 4 very soon.

I haven't played a Romance game in eons - I might pick one up if Rot3K IX drops under $20.

 

[Shouta]

KOHAN: AHRIMAN'S GIFT RAWR!

 

[MrAngryFace]

WHEN I GET HOOKED UP IN WA ITS ON BITCHES!

 

[Defensor]

Command & Conquer: Red Alert and Starcraft.

 

[SA-X]

AW1+2 - (About as close to a perfect videogame as you can get)
Starcraft - (I don't know why but I always seem to come back to this game for a about a week or so every couple of months. I just love decimating enemy bases with those big siege tank blasts, nukes, and capital ships)

 

[SpoonyBard]

Civilization 3. It takes some time to get used to the new stuff, but when you do it's better than Civ 2. The only things I really miss are the wonder movies.

 

[Mr_Furious]

 

[Arcticfox]

My favorite strategy game has to be the original Master of Orion. It is the main reason I keep an old dos box around.

 

[Tabris]

I agree that Civilization 3 is better than 2, but unlike 2, 3 wasn't enough of an advancement over the rest.

So this is one of those "for their time..." kind of things.

Otherwise, replace Civ2 with Civ3 and RotTK4 with 7 or 9. Starcraft stays in there as is.

 

[CrimsonSkies]

I love strategy games. But my taste is clearly on the side of real-time strategy games.

The Warcraft and Command & Conquer (Prior to Generals) series have been my all time favorites. Lately though I'm playing more Age of Mythology than anything else.

 

[Trevelyon]

Probably Total Annihilation. I was horribly addicted to this game all through year 8, so much so that my parents confiscated my PC for like 5 months.

 

[Chony]

 

[firex]

Starcraft and Advance Wars 2

 

[Vlad]

Total Annihilation for me, by far.

 

[Spazbiohaz]

GameplayPhantom Brave
Story FF Tactics PS
Multiplayer Warcraft 3: FT

 

[Prospero]

Heroes of Might and Magic III.

 

[Tsubaki]

I'm partial to the Heroes of Might & Magic series too.

Console-wise, Advance Wars series.

 

[Joe]

 

[werther]

FFTA

 

[Tommie Hu$tle]

Jagged Alliance 2 - Iron Man Mode 4 life Bitches!

 

[Oxymoron]

Depending on the day of the week, it's either Brood War or Alien Crossfire.

 

[LAMBO]

Total Annihilation annihilates all!!!
