Ok let me be honest.. I have played only one stratergy game and thats Age of Mythology and dint like it.. Well actually liked it in the begining but then found it boring.. Anywayz i now wanna start playing stratergy games as m bugged with FPS.. So m looking for a game
which is kinda easy to pick up and play.. the game has to be relatively new like 06 or 07 release .. should have great graphics.. has to be real-time.. not bothered bout multiplayer but should have an excellent single player..
EDIT: I bought Company of heroes and m loving every min of it thanx u guys.. U ppl are the best.. Well now can u guys suggest few more game thats has lots of intese action and min focus on resource gathering.. And i don mind even if the game is old.. But the graphics has to be good.. Thanx in advance..
Company of Heroes is an absolutely amazing game. If you're new to RTS games (haven't played alot of them) then I should tell you that the AI doesn't mess around. Still, its the best RTS on the market if you ask me.
Don't get sins of a solar empire(I heard it is very complex)You should get world in conflict, it's extremely easy to pick up and has fantsatic online play.

But many of them say that World in Conflict is very diff if ur a novice in RTS cos of the whole micro management stuff and btw i have no idea what that means:oops:
I would say try the demos for the games you are interested in trying out and see how you like them.Doom_HellKnight
Ya well downloading the demos would be good but checking out the demos of all games would be kinda tedious.. And since i have no idea bout stratergy games i will not be able to judge a game.. Or i ill have to download demos for all the games play them all then decide and m sure by the time i check out all the demos i would have got bugged of stratergy games or my interest would even shift to other genres..
Company of Heroes covers all of your above requirements except kinda easy to pick up and play. It looks great, has awesome single player, is relatively new and is real time... but it is quite complicated compared with most RTS games out there.
I'd recommend you mostly look at Company of Heroes, but you should just check out demos - they all or mostly all have them. See what you think yourself.
UAW or sins! tough u got to pay to play online with UAW but still the most awsome and versile Strategy game out there with completly distinct factions :D
Dawn of War is excellent;I'm playing Winter Assault (the exp) and its also great. I was going to recommend Age of Mythology,but since you didn't care for it,how about BFME II or an oldie Ground Contol II?

Well i am playing age of mythology now again and guess what m loving it.. So it would be good if u could suggest a few games similar to Age of Mythology..
And also ya is company of heroes similar to Age of Mythology i mean the gameplay..

The only problem with WIC online is: if you don't know what your doing the host can boot you during the game so try and play with friends that you know.
Sins isn't that complex, just one skirmish game and you should know the ropes, but, you are new to RTS so maybe you won't have the patience for it. Same goes for Supcom.
I say try Dawn of War, CoH, and WiC, those are the most combat centered games.
And also ya is company of heroes similar to Age of Mythology i mean the gameplay..k_ozz
The similarities end at the genre, at least IMO. Company of Heroes is a different kind of RTS game. Instead of hanging back in bases/outposts and mining resources, one has to push forward and capture resource points across the map. Company of Heroes features fully destructible environments, intelligent infantry that make use of cover etc.

besides both of them being RTS's, they are nothing alike.

And also ya is company of heroes similar to Age of Mythology i mean the gameplay..The first game that comes to mind is Age of Empires series,or Rise of Nations-both excellent. I haven't played Company of Heroes yet(I'm going to here about this!)it's sitting on my shelf.But I believe its closer to Dawn of War,no resource gathering rather resource points you have to control.At any rate you couldn't go wrong with any of the games posted.

DO NOT BUY WiC! It is not a RTS it has no stratgey and no gameplay at all. The moment you get online you are dead and you never get teh nuke! The SP is like shot, i mean 5hrs long. You need a high-end PC, i mean HIGH-end!!! It is just plain boring, well the destruction never gets old. (O ya you never get that much destruction because it is short)
So i guess i Company of heroes, Dawn of War and C&C are my best bet.. Wanted to know the amount time spent in each of these.. And also is the single player in WIC any good??
Company of Heores, you have to be a strategic master to be good at this. Also the AI is great to practice against and when you think your good enough you can take it online. The best RTS ever in my opinion.
Sins isn't THAT complex. It's pretty easy to figure everything out.
Anyway, I recommend Medieval 2: Total War.
True_Gamer_
MARK his WORDS....
I have played every game mentioned. If you wont be playing multi-player. Medieval Total War 2 is with out a doubt the best game! Total War is on another level compared to most these games imo. Sins and Coh are good too. But Total War ROCKS!!!!

WIC=single player sucks and the mp doesnt offer much strategy imo
Dawn of War=dated(wait for DoW2)
C&C=average rts plus EA=EVIL
COH=Instant Classic ..every rts fan must play this. Introduces mechanics never seen before in a rts. Ground Breaking!
Medivial:Total War 2 and Sins offer the best single player experience imo (giving Total War 2 the edge) Becuase they incorporate alot of strategy into the gameplay with the world (universe) to conquer. They feel epic!
I'm gonna name a strategy game that by today is still my favorite strategy... and hasn't been mentioned yet. HOMEWORLD (plus expansion) and Homeworld 2. That game forver changed the RTS genre and if your thinking of playing an RTS game why not the one that revolutionized it. The only problem is that's kind of hard to find in stores but I'm pretty sure amazon.com has it.
If you can't find that than I suggest Dawn of war and/or any Total war game.
Company of Hereoes. Amazing game, and very little focus on resource gathering. Just control points and you get resources automatically every few seconds..I belive its the easiest transition from FPS/3rd Person to RTS. Highly Recommended
NOTE: Language in that game is very salty and people do get multilated before your eyes. Caution!

U hit the nail on the head bro.. I found it really easy to adapt :)
lots of intese action and min focus on resource gathering.. And i don mind even if the game is old.. But the graphics has to be good.. Thanx in advance..k_ozz
Sounds like world in conflict should come next. Resources are gathered automatically for you, it has the most intense action of any RTS, but you can only control a few units at once. Sins of a solar empire is the better game, imo, but it's a very deep and complex RTS (if you're new to strategy games) with not as much action. And C&C3 is a joke.
so now you want resource gathering? Well starcraft 2 will have that but its not out yet. I really recommend Supreme Commander-PS360-
No no i don want resource gathering.. The only thing i hated in Age of Mythology was resource gathering.. COH was fine cos by just capturing strategic points my resources were increasing every second.. Would be really happy if there is no resorce gathering on the other hand wouldn mind a bit of resource gathering but only upto the scale of COH..

Because it sucks, I hated it and got bored of it like two days after I wasted money on it. It's an extremely basic RTS that's even more shallow than generals, the previous C&C.

Now then wouldn C&C3 be the perfect RTS for me as its basic and also shallow.. And i will be havng no idea as to how shallow it is as i have played only 3 stratergy games Age of empires, Age of Mythology and COH.. And i liked only COH.

No, it's just a boring RTS when compared to all the others that have been released. Just because it's shallow doesn't make it simple/easy. WiC would be perfect for you imho.

After playing COH, C&C is a joke. You should try Tota War 2 you get resources by capturing new territoires on the game map and then upgrading your cities and military. No resource gathering. Same with Sins you capture new planets and then upgrade them. They are not overly complicated unless your a moron.
the first one you should try is starcraft. or red alert. or warcraft 2. or dune. basically, all the classics. and if you're not just talking about rts, then master of magic and x-com.
