    Arrow Recommend me a Game: RPG + RTS?

    Hey all,
    I'm a big fan of strategy games with RPG elements thrown in. For example, Dawn of War, Mech Commander, Warhammer: Dark Omen, Battle for Middle Earth etc

    Anyway it got me thinking as to whether there are any more titles like this that I'm missing?

    Any more recommendations?

    Cheers,
    Leon

    There is another one, but I'm not sure many people have heard of it:

    Starcraft 2

    Company of heroes might be worth a bash, is a very good RTS imo. Anthology on Amazon is £5 (3 games)

    Have to second Warcraft 3, if you haven't played it yet the campaigns are nothing short of breathtaking, normally get bored very quick with RTS games but this kept me entertained at least till the undead campaign lol.

    Yes strangely I did hear some murmurings about that one.... I tried the trail (thanks to a kind Hexus member) but I was particularly taken with it.

    Played all of the C&C games apart from the latest as it wasn't well received.

    Loved Warcraft 3 (and the expansions)

    Thanks for this - I think I give this one a shot...

    Yep loved it (although not quite as much as the first)

    Re: Recommend me a Game: RPG + RTS?

    Spellforce series fits that bill really well.

    RPG but when it comes to clearing out city gates etc you have to build up a military camp and attack the area with soldiers you have created command & conquer style. Then once the area is clear it goes back to the RPG side of things.

    If you go onto the Mastertronic website there is a Spellforce Universe single DVD collection. It has Spellforce 1&2 and also the expansion included in it.

    Yep it seems pretty highly rated.

    Just trying to find the cheapest place to buy it (either download or walk in shop) so I can have it for the weekend...

    Re: Recommend me a Game: RPG + RTS?

    Well there's a demo of it on steam and the original is just £6.99 on there. More expensive than amazon but means you'll have a copy that'll keep updated, and when you get the other games you can just add the codes to them ingame.

    If you get a shop copy you'll have about 2 GB of patches to download post install.

    Re: Recommend me a Game: RPG + RTS?

    Do they have the anthology on there? (i.e. with the expansion packs?)

    Am I correct in thinking there are two expansion packs?
