Empire Total Earth just came out on tuesday. From what i've heard lots of people say this game is suppose to be great. i might pick it up to give it a try.

[e6600]

the only strategy games ive ever really cared about or played for any amount of time are warcraft 3 and starcraft, but they're both severely outdated. BUT SC2 is coming out soon in Q4 or 2010

halo wars is probably one of the only RTS games i would like to have or buy for pc, but i hear company of heros was pretty nice too

you mean empire total war right?

WOW , looked at empire total war screen shots and demo video and the graphics are amazing , will my PC be able to pull that ? especially when playing multilayer online ? my preferable resolution is 1920 x 1080


Also i use to play Warcraft , startcraft is basically the same , didnt like either as much as i liked generals

Dawn of War 2 was fun. No base building, but you do level and gear your characters. It's kind of like an action RTSRPG.

a 4870 and 3+gHz processor should run Empire: Total War maxed out at that resolution (with no AA).

I ran the demo at 1680x1050 on my 3.5gHz X3 720 and 4830 maxed settings including all shadow option (no AA, 16xAF) and it stayed solid at ~30fps which plays great.

Supreme Commander Gold Pack.

Makes the SC and C&C style of game seem like a bit of a joke and very out of date to be honest.

i think that's just what am gonna do,try the demo to see if the pc can handle it :)

Checked out Supreme commander too but didnt like it as much as world in conflict mentioned in the other thread :D


thanks for your help am really out of the loop when comes to games :)

Tried 1900 x 1080 high settings . logged into the game graphics were beautiful , one cannon shot and it would freeze , slowly lowered settings quality , lowered resolution to 1440 x 900 still no game , my conclusion cpu was a major bottleneck , this game seems to be heavily relying on multy threading , one thing that tiped me of most was when u load the game there is a screen with i7 logo and it says " plays beautifully on i7 " or something of the sort , so am waiting on my i7 rig before i can play this which is like another 6 month


il try world in conflict demo now but am skeptical :cry:

Sins of a solar empire, fun game. No single player campaign but it does have missions and the ability to create your own "maps" and either compete against AI or humans.

[BackBreaker]

what's up with all these games with no single player campaign. I remember rise of nations and age of empires 3 not having one either.

[SteveLord]

I just bought Empire Total War. 94% from PC GAMER. Gonna try it out tonight with a few friends.

[CharlieCS]

Seems as World in Conflict is my new born addiction O.O , that game is sick .

[juane414]

I've been playing Age of Empires 3 for a while. Still a dang good game in my opinion. Pretty much any game from the Total War series is good. There's always C&C 3 too.

:attn::thup::attn:

Galactic civilizations, The C&C games, Star Wars Empire at War and Some of the Trek games (Conquest)

Sins first though:cool:

[hinderpits]

the new command and conquer is terrible although i liked the series

older good ones-stronghold 2,civilization 4, rise of nations 2, mass effect, baulders gate 2
