Your favourite Strategy Game (PC)

I'm looking for a good strategy game...so far i've played

-Age of Empires
-Age of Mythology

any other suggestions?

red alert 2 yuri's revenge.

warcraft 3?

The warhammer 40k "Dawn of War" RTS is really good, and it seems to have been mostly overlooked.. Great addon with Winter assault, and you can get both for $30 at futureshop! Deal!

There's a big difference between Strategy and Real-Time Strategy (RTS). For the best strategy games I would include;

-Civilization (3 or 4)
-Hearts of Iron
-Europa Universalis
-Victoria
-Galactic Civilizations 2
-Panzer General

For RTS I would have
-Red Alert 1 & 2
-Command and Conquer Generals / Zero Hour
-Star Craft
-Age of Empires (1/2/3)
-Rise of Nations
-Empire Earth

Rome: Total War is hand's down the best I've played - and I've played all the ones already mentioned

You really feel like a participant in truly epic battles. Plus you have a turn based strategy component that is quite deep and satisfying. One of the few games I go back to repeatedly.

Dune 2 - the original RTS game is still probably the best

Rome: Total war is a good game too, there are mods available for new units etc. And you don't have to play the tactical battles if you don't want to, you can just skip them (though you can often do better if you direct the troops yourself).

Rome & Medieval: Total War
Civilization 4

For real-time strategy, nothing tops WarCraft III (and the expansion). Deep, balanced but diverse, and strong developer/community support even years after its release.

Also really affordable, from me.

Rome was amazing. My first strategy game was Red Alert and its still one of my favs.

Isn't their a rts star wars game out there?

Empire at War I think? Hmmm, when I get a new vid card I'll look into that

on par with warcraft3, which is something amazing for a non-blizzard company to achieve

starcraft is still king though minus the graphics

i have a few:

Age of Empires II
Age of Mythology
Civilization II
Warcraft III
Heroes III
Heroes IV
Heroes IV

but if i had to choose the best of them all, i have to say Heroes series(III,IV,V)

X-Com FTW

ROME TOTAL WAR IS AWESOME!
There's just some things that make it uncool.

Like when you change the unit size to maximum, so you try to cram in tons of dudes into one entrace of a town, they all get crammed, you end up dying. If you compared it to small, you can get all your guys in FAST! The entrace gates of buildings dont change in size.

Also, say you have 3 armies of max units(24?) and you corner 1 enemy onto the battle field. Why can't u control 3 armies at once? Why is it, one shows up probrably after if your ppl die, or they dont show up at all.

Also, the AI on the battle field, can get somewhat easy and repetitive(if u got a good army)....well sorta, I mean, you can corner the enemy and make it so they have to stand there and accept inncoming attacks from arrows, and ballistas and they end up dying and fleeing soon after.
