RTS games no longuer appeal to me...

...because the scale is way too small.

Let's accept it, Starcraft and Warcraft 3 are the most played RTS in the world even though they are really old. Most new games copy their fast-paced squad-based style. Warhammer 40K, Company of Heroes, etc.

Unfortunatedly for me I'm a "builder". I like building bases and creating tank rushes. The only game that allows me to do that is Supreme Commander and it doesn't seem to have an active community anymore. Shame, I hope that changes with Supreme Commander 2 because I want to play a RTS that doesn't focus on two buildings and micromanagement like SC and WCIII.

So, who feels the same way?

So you don't like strategizing?

Granted I love building up bases etc. but, the heart in it for me has always been the strategy part. I'm not for the tank rushes or sending a 5000 unit army to kill a small town with 23 soldiers.

Sins of a Solar Empire

I was going to pick it up but after waiting for a local release for way too muchtime I burnt myself because nobody had dates. After some months I finally saw it but I was not in the mood and I was just starting with TF2. I will wait for SC2.

you don't like strategizing?

It depends, what do you consider strategizing? I play conservatedly, building huge armies and relying on flanking and ambushing with them.

Since playing Civilization 2 long ago and loved it, I only gave Civilization 4 a try a few months ago. It took some time to adjust to the many new stuff but now I love that one too. I even got my friends to play online multiplayer with me.

Civilization 3, however, I still don't like and I've gave it couple of chances already.

And starcraft 1 is still awesome in 2010. The community is great, you can play normal maps, hunters/bgh maps, fastest maps, custom maps and there's a huge community of experts in every type.
