[QUOTE="thusaha"]CoH, WarCraft 3, StarCraft, WiC and Sins of A Solar Empire.SmeagleTEhBomb
I've played starcraft before. Sins of A Solar Empire looks interesting, would you recomend it over DoW 2? I definitely would, however they're both very different games.
Dawn of War 2 is a great game and will work great as an intro to RTSs IMO. Then you could go into more complex games like Sins, Warcraft 3, Starcraft and others.
Rome is a great game although complicated and may take a couple restarts of the game before you can get the hang of things and get a succesful empire going
Get Rome Total War. I think Sins is a terrible overrated game, which involves no tactics or management during battles. Rome on the other hand relies heavily on tactics to win battles.
Hey guys, another quick question. I'm trying to download the DoW2 demo off this site: http://www.bigdownload.com/games/warhammer-40000-dawn-of-war-ii/pc/dawn-of-war-2-single-player-demo/ Every time i try to open the dang thing nothing comes up. Can anybody tell me why it's not installing?

If you have Steam, get it off there. Just joined. Thanks :)
If you don't mind graphic, I suggest you play Age of Empire series. They introduced me to RTS.nchan
THIS. If you are new to the genre, you will appreciate these games ALOT. Age Of Empires II is still my favorite RTS to this date. Nothing else has been able to capture the epic empire building side of gameplay. Graphics are a bit out dated, but if you can handle Starcraft, you can definitely handle AoE II. If you do pick it up, make sure to play with some friends. Oh god, I feel the nostalgia boiling up.
Edit: Also, If the graphics are too outdated for you, pick up AoE III. It's empire building isn't as good but it is still a kickass game with gorgeous graphics.
Alright fellas, let me fill you in on a couple of herewith undisclosed facts. My I3 vaio laptop boasts a NVidia 310m.
After looking at some of the reviews for this card I am beginning to doubt whether i can run DoW2 at all. The downloads 77% done so i'll know for sure within the hour, but any insight is appreciated.
If it's any help CAN YOU RUN IT says my laptop is quite capable of hadling the game above the reccomended settings: http://cyri.systemrequirementslab.com/srtest/analysis.aspx
World In Conflit is one of my favorite games of all time. I still play it online all the time. Some people like the games that have more micro mgmt though.
I find Total War to be a bit too slow and anti climatic at times. The sheer size of the battles probably does it for me. I also find gathering resources to be addicting. But a good choice would probably be Company of Heroes. it has a very nice online community and the game is pretty good.
[QUOTE="dg8794"] I'll keep that in mind dg8794. [QUOTE="Ontain"]i never thought of the Total war series as a good intro to rts genre. it's rather more in depth than many want to go.AfroPirate
I've played civilization and enjoyed it thoroughly. I don't believe Total War will be horribly more in depth then that title.
Its not as indepth.
Some days in Total War I'll put 7 hours in a day into it :P
It's really fun but also its taught me, losing some battles is ok its not easy :P
you shouldnt judge depth by the length but civilization games go for longer than that consistently
