      From the list I still think that CTP2 had a lot of promise, and I loved every aspect of the game - except for the resyncs/crashes Even the CTP2 mods are far from perfect, but with these mods (see CTP2 forum), the game still has a lot fun/strategy in it...now if we can only get the code for it!

        I would also say Alpha Centauri...

        I really I love the Civ series but I dont think there's any turn-based strategy game comparable to SMAC in terms of game/unit/diplomacy/social engineering-ideology/terraforming flexibility...

        I sometimes wonder if Firaxis didn't implement into Civ3 most of the aspects that made Alpha Centauri so unique, just because they didnt want to "Alpha Centaurise" the Civ series (if I may invent the term )
        I mean, maybe they didnt want to make Civ 3 seem like SMAC 2...

        I love Civ3 but I also want my SMAC 2

          SMAC, hands down.

          Maybe RoN could be a pretender to the throne, though...
          I watched you fall. I think I pushed.

            Strange....those fools at the Warcraft forum think that that game is best.

              Shall we...enlighten them?

              [EDIT]On topic...
              Hmm, almost 60% for Civ2/Civ3.
              /me wonders how many are actually voting for Civ3 rather than Civ2...

                CIV 3 is the best, but clearly CIV 2 gave me years of entertaiment.

                I also believe that Empire Earth is a wonderful game (besides the really complicated battles).

                Command & Conquer Red Alert 1 is an excelent game too. (but C&C Red Alert 2.. )

                  chilean: Yes C&C: Red Alert 1, was one of the best strategy I've ever played. MultiPlayer in Red Alert was so fun... I always love Warcraft for his Single PLayer rather than his MP...
                  I always hate losing 'cause someone are doing more mouse click than me...

                  But the civ series are just so good... I've just bought Alpha Centauri... yeah i'm know i'm late! My first impression are positive!!

                  au revoir,

                    RTS games are closer to FPS games than TBS games like Civ3. So this whole poll is kinda weird. If you included Turnless MP Civ3 in the RTS group, it would hands down be one of the worst. But if you consider the Civ series where in belongs (in TBS), then it reigns supreme, IMO.

                    Alpha Centauri deserves an honorable mention because it is easily one of the coolest games I've ever played. The gameplay in Civ2/Civ3 is arguably better, but I'll always remember SMAC more fondly because of the eery Sentient Colony (Base?) clip, or the hilarious Longevity Vaccine one.

                      I think two very good strategy games are missing from the poll, the two Total War games. Shogun: Total War and Medieval: Total War are excellent strategy games. They combine the turn-based building and strategy found in civ with the (IMO) best real-time combat that can be found.

                          None of the above...
                          Only Civ1/2/3/SMAC has something to do with strategy... the others are just build-an-army-ASAP-and-attack
                          The best strategy game ever made, os The Settlers II - Veni Vidi Vici...

                            Well, among the best I've played are

                            Starcraft
                            Civ II
                            Alpha Centauri
                            Ufo - Enemy Unknown

                            Still deciding on Civ III, wether it belongs in that group I mean.

                              this poll is messed up... civ2 along with civ3???

                              anyway, i vote SMAC. why?

                              civ2: well.... unless if u r talking about senarios, SMAC is better than civ2 at least as much as Starcraft is better than Warcraft2. Note:and i don't like Sci-fi stuff.

                              Civ3: i really want like this game, but its broken... why? one example: saving money to buy tech instead of researching.....bah! i give up this game.

                                Hi!
                                Well, I hate C&C series, all of them are the same game, and have too stupids things (a tank need more than 3 shots to kill a single soldier? the soldier runs more? A missile of 8m for killing infantery? (Red Alert) LOL)
                                The craft series are semi-arcades, not very strategic, but funny.
                                X-Com... didnt like it, I prefer the 1st, UFO.
                                Where is Panzer General??
                                Im in the line of theNiceOne: Total War is great! (but no good multiplayer )
