[DR OF DEATH]

ok guys what's your fovorite strategy game, and post why its your favorite, if you vote other tell us what it is

 

[DR OF DEATH]

i vote starcraft because the complexity of the campaigns is exellent, i love being able to play as different alien races, the range of different types of battleground is a nice touch, and i just love the map editor

Stars!

Only strategy game I have ever bought which I wasn't bored with after 2 weeks.

EDIT: I hate RTS with a passion.

[grady]

the original civilization

 

[Andy]

What about Age of Empires or Total Annihilation? Both quality games.

 

[Dave]

C&C.. great game.. I only have a slow computer tho!

 

[Psyber freek]

Alpha Centauri

its pretty fun since i don't have starcraft or warcraft or civilization

 

[Sting]

WarCraft II!

 

[The Grimmus]

SC ALL THE WAY!
warcraft is ok but eveyrone only knows a set stratigy and i don't like playing without thinking

sc on the other hand has ver diffrent units that a lot of peopel don't know how to use because once agian they stick to a stiff nonchangin strat and when they don't think they die

 

[Kerrie]

is mahjong considered a strategy game?

 

[Maverick]

I'd have to say Heroes of Might and Magic II. Classic turn based strategy. I love it.

 

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Right now I'm playing Diablo, but I don't think this is a strategy game...
So I voted Starcraft - the best game ever (I really hate the zerg... )
Age of Empires and Heroes of Might and Magic are pretty good too.
Couldn't play W3, computer too old...

 

[Greg Bernhardt]

Maverick, HOMM3 with expansions is the best! Age of Empires with Conquest expansion is the runner up.

Also, can't forget about the old X-Com Series.

 

[MSI]

WARCRAFT is the best



the best movies i ever seen in warcraft 3

 

[Bubonic Plague]

Isn't Red Alert under Command and Conquer?

Command and Conquer: Generals rules supreme! It is far more dynamic in terms of gameplay then any other strategy games which i have seen. The cut scenes are also extraordinarily good. Just take the first mission of the China campaign. The cutscene when the GLA blew up the chinese parade was breathtaking.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Chess.

 

[Integral]

I voted Warcraft, but SC is very close, just haven't played it for a while. I don't consider Diablo stratey, its just cut and slash. My true first love strategty game is Prelude to Waterloo by Talonsoft. Turn based tactical Napoleonic, it just don't get no better!

Combat Mission is also a lot of fun and an execellent simulation to boot!

 

[Simfish]

Certainly Age of Kings. however; I have retired from computer games; to focus on a life of science.

 

[Dal]

I like chess. I've retired from pcgames but I used to like starcraft.
By the way, why is diablo in the poll?

 

[Zantra]

I'm a fan of chess. Occasionaly I'll play on blitzen.

Warcraft 3 (plus the new expansion pack -- The Frozen Throne)
