        Total Annihilation had a whole slew of cool units too. Especially some of the player made ones. I especially like some of the naval units in that game. I really should look into what it takes to make custom units.


        What was the name of that huge robot, Kilgroth?

          The heavy tank is more cost-effective than the medium tank. So are late-game zerglings.

            My favorite scenario in all of Starcraft was the one where you had to defend for 10 minutes or so, and right at the end there was the big zergling rush.

            ACK!

              Starcraft: Ghost. i just like the idea of being all stealthy and being able to nuke the other player without them knowing!

              C&C: Stealth Tank. I remember when my friends and I first started playing i made 5 of these and hunted down all my friends harvesters...

              Red Alert: Mig's. Made an airforce and DOMINATED the game. No unit on the map was safe from the Red Army!

                Osweld:

                Kilgroth- I think it was Kilgore.. .can't remember for certain- but Total Annihilation certainly was a really good RTS game with a great persistent online world- I loved fighting in the Boneyard for planets!

                    mammoth tanks - fun and powerful! i remember some really interesting battles where i ended up winning just because of them.

                    i also liked the aircraft carriers in ra2(?) with their mini planes.

                    pretty sure it's tanya btw.

                      Best TBS unit has to be the Battleship in Civ1, or maybe hovertank cloaked probe teams in SMAC.

                      Best RTS unit (well, my personal favorite) is the High Men Titan from WBC2. When he starts smashing down towers with his enormous sword shouting "Justice" I practically cream my pants.

                        Blah, the gold colossus from AoM just tramples your puny mammoth tanks, and picks those ramshackle migs out of the air and crushes them afterwards...

                            AoK: War Elephants or whatever the Chinese Unique archer was. They rocked.

                            Civ2: The phalanx, clearly better value than any other battleship beating unit in any game
