a note about warcraft 3, i know that it is a very good game, but games with seriously outdated graphics kinda annoy me

for instance, i always get bored when i started playing heroes because the graphics suck

in other old games, like say, kotor, the graphics are visually pleasing and then i don't care about complex graphical effects

Get Dawn of War Platinum, it's only 10 euro/dollars on Steam. Three great games.

hmmm

things seem pretty split between dawn of war and company of heroes so far

i generally prefer the more oldy or magicky rts as opposed to the modern boom boom rts but i guess i'll look into to these

also since you all are reccomending CoH what do you think about world in conflict?

and also, why has no one mentioned empire total war?

King Arthur should be coming out soon.

I would wait and see the reviews for that. It suppose to be Total War with RPG elements.

Dawn of War still has units that can do alot of magicky stuff, it's just in a futuristic setting Imo, CoH > WiC, but it's like comparing apples to oranges, two totally different games. No one has suggested Empire Total War due to it's very rocky launch, and it's also inferior to the older Total War games.

yes 1 was great

don't know about 2

my main problem with one was that you had to build stuff on existing bases

i always find that games where you can build anywhere are much more fun

The fixed base thing made it a bit more special. I loved that.

Try Rise of Legends too.

in the sense that you build buildings in real time...collect resources...build cool units

i thought about it and i decided that i'd rather have that kind of rts than one that is partly tbs like empire total war

Rise of Nations is a great game and is similar to Age of Empires.

Rise of Nations is an improved AOE.

Rise of Legends is to RON what Age of Mythology is to AOE.

Get Rise of Nations. I has outdated graphics, but outstanding gameplay. And it like Age of Empires, you have to collect resources, make buildings, build an army... expect that it has all ages, from ancient to modern. Rise of Legends is not a good game, I wouldn't recommend it. If you liked Medieval Total War, then you can get either Rome Total War, or newer one Empire Total War. If you like battles in Roman times, then RTW is a must-buy game. If you want multiplayer, you can get Company of Heroes, or Men of War if you are more into tactics. Hope it helps!

Age of Mythology is a fantasy spin-off of Age of Empires. Rise of Legends is a fantasy spin-off of Rise of Nations.

Rise of Legends is very unique, in both mechanics and design. It's so weird that most reviewers and players were put off, but the game is amazing once you get used to it. It also had a lot of technical problems, Microsoft rushed it so the developers focused on polishing the gameplay in favour of polishing the engine. It's been fixed, but bombed really hard commercially.
