What game got you into the RTS genre?

[Anonymous No.5981380]

I would say C&C. It felt very traditional and normal. I also liked the whole base building and resource gathering. It's also perhaps why I consider them the pillars of RTS.

Is Knights and Merchants a proper RTS, or more of a city builder?

I played Warcraft 1 at my buddy's house on his computer, Red Alert on another friend's, and I got C&C on the N64. Eventually I would get them on the computer

Good question. Somehow if feels a bit more on the RTS side because the controls are a bit more direct than on stronghold, impressions games, and it doesn’t have much governance stuff. I would just call it a German RTS

Age of Empires.
I was really bad at playing it, it was a bitch to handle compared to newer games, and many times I lost my save due to the arrow glitch. Nevertheless, I really liked researching, building and chopping forests down to make farms, for a reason I ignore.
Also, it made me get into history when back then all I read about was biology. That alone made me pick AoE2 just to end up reading the documents about civilizations and technologies instead of playing it (RIP Jeanne d'Arc, you crazy girl).

Yeah it doesn't quite fit into the stereotypical mold of rts, but you build a colony, units, collect resources and fight. Never got into the game myself, but a lot of people seem to remember it fondly.

Same for me. We had a few games running on my school's computers: Wolfenstein 3D, Corridor 7, Pipe Mania, Fury of the Furries and Dune 2. The latter was my favorite and what made me crave a PC. Good thing the 286 my parents bought at a cheap price could run it.

It's barely retro, but Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns and the expansion, Ahriman's Gift, can get pretty hectic on custom maps and multiplayer.
The game ditches most of the micro management and has you leading your forces by fixed units you can customize when you commission them, using different elements with roles, benefits, penalties, etc. Fighting depends on terrain modifications, unit formation, morale and, especially, heroes that are revived from amulets and gain experience if they survive enough battles.
Also, cities and economy are simplified into productive units rather than explicit numbers: they are gained and spent on building city components, commissioning units and such, and they all contribute to your economy on an overall gold income, or deficit if you don't grow it carefully.
The game is on Steam and there is a semi-active community, with compatibility patches, tweaks, custom AIs to download and more.
The main campaigns introduce you to the mechanics, but most of the time they are not that impressive. It gets hardcore when you roll a random map and fight with up to other seven players/AI, rallying across the map to build mines, capture technology, gold or amulets from ruins and defending your growing settlements from critters and the other players, especially when three of them start attacking you and you fight them,capturing cities and advancing inch by inch through the map.

The campaigns put a surprising amount of effort on a story, weirdly enough. And the campaign itself is looooong. Although the final levels can be cheesed by turtling up, building a bunch of Big Berthas/Intimidators combined with shitton of tier 3 radars and casually sniping the enemy base and/or Commander. The AI never manages to counteract that.
One thing that pisses me off is that no matter what faction you are playing, your color is always blue. Works for the Arm, not so much for Core, who look much cooler in red.

Yeah. The campaigns were nice, but really straightforward.
Darius' campaign serves as exposition to the mechanics, different races and factions and conflict with the Ceyah. The Slaanri and the Haroun on the expansion seem like they take you through narrow corridors; the first is a slaughterfest that gimps you with slow and expensive, but resistant units, fighting trench wars over chokepoints and the second puts you through mountains and passes, and then a desert and some story exposition.
The Ceyah campaign is the best. The AI relentlessly jumps at you whenever it can and going through the new tundra/snow forest landscape is great.

You could try Empire Earth with the appropriate age settings. EE is all right when you restrict it to an age or two; it only really runs into problems when you try to do what the game advertises itself as and try to go from the Stone Age to the post-current day. They don't balance things over the age gaps all that well.

I guess it's time you play "Commandos", anon.
It's RTS set in WWII, but focused on stealth and completing objectives rather that direct gunfighting. You get missions and six commandos, each with distinctive abilities.
It has great atmosphere and if you played The Lost Vikings and your thing is having your characters helping each other, you will have a good time. Get the expansion, also.

I feel like age of myth is the only one that managed to stay true to its roots when it went 3d. Every single series had to make massive concessions when going 3d. Less units, smaller maps, worse pathfinding. worse animations. The games themselves went from playable on any computer to needing expensive graphics hardware to run well. Visual clarity tanked and the style of gameplay had to change to be more accommodating to the fact players can't see shit anymore.

I love Warcraft 3 but when it came out most of the old Warcraft 2 fans I knew hated it. Units lived forever and you were punished for having too many. It was difficult seeing what was going on screen at times. People frequently don't even look at the gameplay window and instead focus on the unit selection part of the hud and click on their units that way.

I remember even the reviews for WC3 were pretty "meh" at the time of the release. They were overall good, but for a Blizzard game back then "good" was not good enough. The consensus was "it's a rehash of Starcraft and Starcraft does it better". The game gained following over time because of the story, custom content and fun, casual play.

It is fun, but it's just a campaign mode and the missions are all very linear. Witch is top cute, thou. But if you first played Warcraft and then Polanie, you can see how much was ripped off. Thou priestess unit is top cute, regardless of anything else. Overally, not bad for a game made by bunch of bored students and employing half of their dorm to do voice acting. Or should I say "voice acting", as even cow sounds were made by a guy.
Also, if you want to try it, here is a link

It's officially freeware since '00 or so, when the guys behind it just shrugged and said "Why would you want to still buy this? Here, grab one for free!"
>b-but I don't know Polish
It's so god-damn straight-forward, you can play it while being illiterate.

Fun-fact:
Polanie 3 eventually got turned into Two Worlds, which you (probably not) might heard off.

this game was the first time i discovered i had a different taste than my friends, i played this game in an emulator for the first time, all my friends were playing zelda ocarina of time and i got really excited because i could play as an ant colony, nobody cared but the game is great.

Stronghold. Stronghold Crusader followed up. Fuck me, I spent my entire senior year Spring Break playing through the Crusader Trail. Totally worth it.

Cheers man. Few games had multiplayer as good as SS.

Any love for this flawed gem? It's still got so many systems I wish I found in other strategy games.

RA2 isn't big brain time, but it's always big fun time.

Thanks for the info Anon. Will def give it a go when I have time. But I can see where they ripped off Warcraft just in that pic. The peasants and stables are exactly the same.

Interestingly enough, I do know of Two Worlds. See it on Steam all the time and am always *that* close to getting it but never do. Is it any good?

Anybody have the honor of playing this gem?

If you like RPG games that are perfectly aware how cheesy they are, but in the same time aren't aiming for comedy, then it's fun. Think about it as of a Gothic 1 & 2 clone and you should get the right picture.
Sequel is much, much better mechanically and more polished all around. It also has one of THE most unique magic systems ever put in any game, where you essentially craft your spells using "power words", leading to hilarious effects like the infamous Anvil Storm spell, where you are raining anvils at your enemies. It was done in times when all games were pushing for crafting mechanics, so they decided "Hey, what if we craft spells instead of just items?". Top-tier decision if you ask me, nobody ever tried to do anything remotely similar.

Would that work on 3.1 dosbox?

Nah, it needs Windows to run. But I think it runs fine natively with compatibility options on

Depends on how it's achieved and done.
