Dawn of War II
Rome 1
Shogun 2
C&C Red Alert
Dawn of War 1
1. Homeworld
2. Total Annihilation
3. Dawn of War II
4. Company of Heroes
5. Supreme Commander
Based on how much time I spent playing them
Settlers 2
Warcraft 2
Command and Conquer (first one)
Z
C&C Red Alert (first one)
From writing that though, I am more inspired to play Warcraft 2, than Settlers 2!
Not a massive RTS guy so I'm probably missing some 'obvious' ones but my top5 would probably be: (in no particular order)
Company of Heroes
Galactic Battlegrounds
Empire at War
Cossacks 2
Populous The Beginning
Not sure about the list really, have fond memories of quite a few others that may have made the list, but there are only a couple I've ever spent quite a bit of time on. (LotR: BFME, DoW, Cossacks 1...)
Also if you include more city building strategy games, then things like:
Pharaoh
Anno 1404
Anno 2070
Industry Giant 2
Would probably feature somewhere :P
Love RTS games:
KKND Krossfire
Populous The Beginning
Command and Conquer
Company of Heroes
Warzone 2100
Most of mine come from the Playstation 1 :P
Settlers 3
Age of Empires
C&C Red Alert
Cutthroats
Anno
Supreme Commander:Forged Alliance
Rome:Total War
Age of Empires II
Shogun 2: Total War
Annon 1404
Starcraft
warcraft 3
Red alert 2
Age of empires 2 (I dont like Age of empires 3...)
Starcraft 2
So many awesome games! Too difficult to pick, if pushed though:
1. Age of Empires II
2. Total War series (particularly Medieval II)
3. Planetary annihilation
4. LOTR Battle for Middle Earth II
5. Company of Heroes
In no order:
Starcraft
Warcraft
Age of Mythology (& Titans Expansion)
Mega-lo-mania
Age of Empires 2
Supreme Commander 2
World Shift
Halo Wars
StormRise
Command and Conquer Tiberium Wars 3
Not exactly in this order, but yeah, these rock!
