Civ3....no Starcraft...ummm...Empire earth...!!!!!!!!

[Spec]

I was just reading the post ''Petition for Ingrams'' and it got me thinking....CivIII is a great game, but not my personnal best...I think....I just love strategy games and have lots of them...Which one IS my personnal best? I dont know!! I like tcontrolling territories and expanding but I also like detailed combat like in Empire earth where missions can last hours and hours while burning your brain cuz you think to much. So I thought I`d make a poll to see what you people think.
Between the following, which is your best game ever, and why?

Personnaly I think its Starcraft....or Empire Earth....no....Starcraft..mmmmmm....Empire ear.....ugh....!!!!!!!

If you consider X-Com: Apocalypse to be strategy, then there you go. If not, I can STILL spend hours playing Masters of Magic. Honestly, though, I have an "elite tier" of games that I can still always go back to:

Masters of Magic
MoO2 (I can't go back to MoO 1 after MoO 2, too clunky.)
X-Com (Anything but Interceptor.... that could've been so much more than it was.)
Civ 2, Civ 3.

Honorable mentions:
Pax Imperia: for city-building screens. Seeing your cities grow literally from the ground up and the workers buzzing around was spiff! Horrid replay potential, and the worst diplomacy ever in a game.
Ascendancy: for best races/environmental music of races- MoO could take lessons from these guys. Balance issues were terrible though.

Notably left out: "X"-craft. These were fun, but after I played em through I was done. "Speed clicky" to win was never really my thing. Sim"whatever"... they're okay, but I guess not having clear goals sometimes bugged me. SimAnt was kinda spiffy way back in the day though.

Add the Command and Conquer series!!!

I always think Command And Conquer was really more strategic than Warcraft. You have so many option to do, fulling a APV of Engineer and destoy her base, while you attack somewhere else his base with some tanks... I never really like the speed click in the Warcraft series, even if I know Command & Conquer can be this type of game, but you can win if you play with brain.

Warcraft is a really good games... And Warcraft3 is one the best game i've ever played, but Overall Civilization is better than Warcraft... I know in 10 ten years I will play Civilization but maybe not Warcraft.
Starcraft was good, but not better than Warcraft(The storyline in Warcraft3 is so addictive).

And I forget something... SimCity is one of the few game that I know in ten years I will be playing again...


So, bonne journée!

Dude!! J'ai Oublie Command and Conquer!!! S'cuse!!

Anyway, I think that Starcraft is way better than Warcraft, Empire Earth A LOT better than C&C. To many options in EMPIRE EARTH. but Starcraft still comes first.

Just assuming your joking....I also voted Alpha Centauri...Although it's close between SMAC and C&C.

Tough call between Civ2 and Alpha Centauri - I went AC because the potential alone there is just amazing I am a terrain freak, so although this game looked ugly, it had the best options available. Still play it from time to time...

Alpha Centauri, here.

[notyoueither]

What sort of infidels consider real time click skill tests to be strategy? Ban them!

[CrONoS]

no i was kidding about Alpha CentUry...

Some of my friends said to me that Alpha Centaury was better than the civ series...

[Datajack Franit]

Alpha Centauri IS much better than any civ game

[CrONoS]

datajack:

So I wish there will be a Alpha Centaury 2.

I will play real soon to Alpha Centaury, so many people told me that's better than Civ!

And for CTP, is it better than Civ and Alpha Centaury?

[Tiberius]

CTP? Bleahhh...

Where is MOO, Caesar3, X-COM or AoK btw?
