Fenriswolf 05/15/24 9:10:51 PM #8:	The genre died due to MOBA games like League of Legends, and the only ones remaining are established ones like Age of Empires and Starcraft. A shame really. When I grew up in the 90s RTS games were a dime a dozen and almost every developer tried for jump on the bandwagon. Some of my favorites include Company of Heroes, Dark Reign, Dawn of War, Empire Earth, Red Alert 2, Rise of Nations, Supreme Commander, and Total Annihilation. --- Hello <cite>Fenriswolf posted [p:980412943] in Do people ...

ShaneMcComez 05/15/24 9:30:24 PM #17:	I grew up on several RTS games in the late nineties. Dune 2000, several Command & Conquer games, StarCraft 1, Warcraft 3, Emperor: Battle for Dune, Age of Empire 2, etc. It's sad the state of RTS nowadays. I never got really good at this genre, nor do I play competitively like some players do, but I always revisited the genre and look for new RTS games now and then. I just find building up your base and army, and coming up with a strategy to attack the enemy's base while defending your own in campaign mode to be pretty fun. DarkAssassin89 posted... StarCraft 2 is better than it has ever been for watching pro play (I highly recommend the caster WinterStarcraft) but I dont actually play it myself anymore. Not sure how healthy the casual player base is these days. I don't know why. I find watching competitive StarCraft 1 matches on ArtosisCasts more enjoyable than StarCraft 2 lately. It might be because it's my first love and I like the old RTS, but I'll check out Winter StarCraft sometime. Hexenherz posted...
