Starcraft Brood War - anyone who disagrees gets an arbiter drop.
Dawn of War III is totally hectic

And yet, such awful reviews that whenever i see it, no matter the cost, i can't convince myself to play it ahead of any of the other games I've got going
BACK IN MY DAY,
we had to read match reviews on the web, with a few screenshots.
People who voted starcraft 1 have a serious case of rose tainted nostalgia glasses.
The unit AI is dogshit and the single player mission are very basic and not that interesting to play.
Starcraft 2 is practically better in every way.
The reviews are negative because when the game launched it did two things, one very wrong and one not really wrong.And yet, such awful reviews that whenever i see it, no matter the cost, i can't convince myself to play it ahead of any of the other games I've got going
10 points brotherThe reviews are negative because when the game launched it did two things, one very wrong and one not really wrong.
The one wrong thing it did is that it had in-game unlock system for special units and abilities, effectively making your army objectively worse if you didn't play a fuck ton of games leaving you at a massive disadvantage against people who play more. Luckily this is no longer the case and the whole system has been scrapped and now you got access to all units from the start.
The other thing is that it tried to not be so hero focused like Dawn of War 2 which was basically a mini MOBA with its very limited unit count and huge focus on heroes, leveling them, buying them items and focusing on their abilities. They toned that down a lot so now heroes don't level or get gear and are pretty much like they were in Dawn of War 1 only much stronger and more impressive overal.
The weakest point of Dawn of War 3 imo is the music, which is just incredibly unremarkable. Another letdown is how the campaign constantly shifts from one race to another where every mission feels like a tutorial reminding you almost everything in case you forgot it from two levels before (you are constantly going human-ork-eldar until the end). The story itself is quite decent and lady Solaria is one of the better characters in Dawn of War but the constant switching is annoying as hell and makes the campaign feel incredibly disjointed. The missions themselves are pretty decent actually and the writing is quite funny especially for the Orks.
I would suggest reading through this page, it gives you perspective from both sides of the aisle.
I'll raise you red alertProbably in the minority here but Dawn of War brought me so much joy to play... and still does.
"Yes most beneficent one?"
"For the Emperor!"
C&C would be my next favorite; and Age of Empires II Aand III the charming ones.
You can get it on G2A for like 5 dollars or you can buy it on steam and refund it if you found it to be tripe.10 points brother
Fuuu my "will i won't i" goes on, but you have definitely tilted it
Definitely a fantastic game, but not really an RTS.. you can play mortal empires in Warhammer 2 and get the additional lands and factions.. even bigger scope and variety <3Total War: Warhammer Mortal Empires. Nothing even comes close to the scope or faction variety. It has become one of my favorite games.

But what does your pointer finger say?Goddamn, son. That's hard to say...
My heart says Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun.
My brain says Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition.
My boner says WarCraft III (the original, not the piece of shit that is the remake).
My soul says Homeworld Remastered.
Battle Realms for left pointer and Rise of Nations for right pointer.But what does your pointer finger say?
Since this thread is all about RTS; does anyone remember one from... the early 2000's I think, where a bunch of scientists travelled to an alternate prehistoric world? The three factions were the "good guys" with herbivorous dinosaurs, "bad guys" (nomads with a generic Orient theme) with carnivorous ones, and a third faction (Nords-like iirc) with prehistoric mammals like mammoths etc.
It was pretty shit but the setting was fun.
Ah yes, that's the one, thanks!Paraworld
The "MOBA" genre began as a Starcraft UMS custom game called Aeon of Strife.1. Warcraft 3 + The Frozen Throne: One of the best and most influential expansion, the game as a whole is very fun. Also this game created the whole MOBA sub-genre of Dota and League of Legends, the lore of those games is based on Warcraft. The DLC/Expansion is my 2nd favorite expansion of all time.
