>>722659365Apocalypse tank from Red Alert 2.
>>722659365
>>722659365The customizable robots in Metal Fatigue were pretty cool
LESSER RACES BEWARE
>>722659365Garithos from Warcraft 3.
Loved these guys. Even if their pathfinding was shit it felt so good when you got enough of them to one shot other units.
Anything from Dawn of War.
>>722659365i love how she spreads her legs when dyingits like an invitation when she is still warm
>>722659565they have nothing on my niggas, just walk my death knight hero into the enemy base and summon 20 of them, gg
>>722660797This. The visuals and sound alone make DoW great.
STORM EARTH AND FIREHEED MY CALL
>>722660890WB is fucking bizarre, all the thousand ways to break the game and all the different factions
WE ARE MACEMENWHAT YOU NEED?
>>722659365warcraft 3 had many cool ones, i'd be unable to pick one, i did like the naga race a lot, specially the murgulsage of empires 3 uhlan otherwise, i liked the VA they had and i loved to spam it as a kid
>>722659942>>722662164who would win, 1000 longbows vs 15 uhlans?>>722660797>>722660937i'm gonna play this.>>722661112>722660890>722659565first time i've heard about this. not sure about checking it out
>>722662483fucking british man, i tell you
My life for the war
These were badass.Honorable mentions: Illidan, Beastmaster, Keeper of the Grove(all from wc3).
>Hm?
I love the blocky and mechanical design of terrans from Starcraft. Its hard to pick a favorite, but id go with regular marines.
>>722659365Only true RTS gamers would get this.
I fucking love the aesthetics of the Tiberium Sun. Best Westwood game for me.
>>722662164The German mercenaries had so much swagger. I honestly this aoe3 vanilla is the best way to play. The expansions megabloat the game with all kind of unit types and duplicates.
>>722662745>I'm blind, not deaf!
>Make Dark Archon>Run to enemy base>Brainwash an SCV>Build an entirely separate Terran base>Run to enemy base>Brainwash a Drone>Build a third, Zerg base
>>722663015i liked warchiefs tho, it felt appropiate to the theme
>>722663064>Start 8-player FFA with bots>Activate cheats for quick build, infinite resources, full map view, and invincibility>Bots also get of this this>Grab an SCV and Drone with a Dark Archon>Build superbases while watching bots endlessly attack each other
Fatboy
>>722663109I guess my main problem is how the unit counter system worked. 10x damage to the intended unit, 0.0001 damage to everything else. Warchiefs doubles down on that weirdness with archers who can out-damage howitzers.

>>722663265that literally looks AI generated
>>722660172He cute.
>>722663559The model does look a bit weird, I think that one is custom or something
>>722659365WAKE UP BOYZ IT'Z TIME FOR FIGHTIN'
>>722660172I really like SupCom. I would probably have to say the Cybran commander or one of the tech bots, like the Seraphim T2 chicken.
>>722661112don't think they were too concerned with balance, especially considering there is no cap on the hero level, most fun I ever had with an RTS though
>>722662957gameplay was mid but the setting and units were 10/10 aestheticswe will never get something this great again
>>722664017You can upgrade the commanders too.
>>722664097I'm not sure I like the model as much as those two, but the Monkeylord is one of my favorite units.
>>722662957Sending good vibes to you anon.
>O-O-O-O-O-ODST - STANDING DOWN
>>722659365Hydralisks.
Is DoW fun? I'm not a huge 40k fag but I want a fun RTS to play
>>722664105>tick tick tick THUNK not enough food>ha shh!>ha shh!>ha shh!>giiirkh! build more houses
What's a good C&C game for a newfag?
>>722664371yea I'd say soit's not very complex or balanced but I find myself replaying DoW1 and DoW2 a lot
>>722664535all of them
>>722660290>metal fatiguemy nigger
>>722664535deadlock
>>722664371If you think 40k is cool then you'll like it. The campaigns are alright, but the MP is what made them popular.
>>722664535The best entry points if you're new to RTS is one of Red Alert 2, Tiberian Sun, or Generals, depending on what type of setting you prefer.If you're just new to CnC I'd say you should play through the Tiberian games, starting from the original CnC, through Tiberian Sun and CnC3/Tiberium Wars.You haven't lived until you've completed both GDI and NOD campaigns in 3 and gotten back to the main menu.
>>722663541Loved the Vinci faction. Such a cool game.
>>722664105
>>722659365Spellforce had a great dorf faction, and the pipe man is my favorite design
>>722660478This
>rush the airport in Dark Crusade>do the mission to unlock the seer council>win the campaignThese guys also absolutely fuck in DoW2. Love the passive effects they provide, not just being pure combat drones.
>>722664535c&c generals voice acting of the units is hilarious and somehow still sticks in my head todayred alert 2 is a classic>>722665856haven't played this, would you recommend it?
>>722663265>>722663775I think it's the supcom 2 model.
>>722666403>supcom 2
>>722666403Nah the Supcom 2 Fatboy is super fucked up and awful (just like the game itself)
https://youtu.be/egxzPAywNEs
depends on the game
>>722666590Holy fucking shit, what the fuck is this. I must've purged this from my mind - I was guessing based off the snippet of HUD in the corner. Truly, we are living in the worst timeline.
>>722666316I fuckin love Howling Banshees.DoW got me into tabletop 40k years later, I don't think I'll ever fully recover financially.
>>722666590I like this design, but it has nothing to do with fatboy. Too much in SC2 looks like toys especially UEF. It had some cool unit ideas though
all of dow1 was incredible as memorablefrom c&c 3 i loved these dudes, and their voicelines were badass, the va killed it
>>722667908I personally like the confessor cabal dialogue. It's so zealous and badass
>>722666335definitely. The gameplay is slow and full of baffling designs, but the high fantasy atmosphere of good vs evil battles is great
why, the handcannoneer of course! he needs a buff though.
I wish there was still a way to play this, fuck GFWLLoved how each of the factions played entirely differently
>>722669227>I wish there was still a way to play thisyou can
>>722666032Acolytes are regular humans THOUGH
Magyar Hussar indeed
>>722664371There's a reason why people still bring it up all the time, even before the remaster
>>722669109>come on FE, buff le hecking hand cannoneers already!
>>722659365Death Knight Arthas was so fucking cool in so many different waysHis character went from a frantic, struggling hero to this suave, assured villain who easily won every battle and destroyed the entire world. He went from trudging through snow with a hammer to riding a bad ass undead horse with frostmourne. Went from struggling to keep a small band of heroic soldiers alive, to leading a horde of the damned.It was an incredibly fun aesthetic. Very few games make such an aesthetic improvement to one character. Very few games develop characters at all, especially not RTS games.
>>722660097Blizzard removed her human valley girl quote 20 years after release, btw.
>>722659365Always and forever
>>722669930I wish there had been a phase of his boss fight in Wrath of the Lich King where he rides his steed.
>>722670009The fags
>>722659565wood elf dryads
>>722660598Why did they remove them from SC2?
>>722663541>re-release NEVER EVER
>>722664105>>722665458YOU CAN'T POST THAT ON A BLUE BOARDTHINK OF THE ADVERTISERS!
>>722669628traitors deserve twice the punishment
>>722669636Based.Also, love me magyar cavalry archers.
Some big ass robot from Supreme Commander Forged Alliance
>>722671410Replaced with immortals. Dragoons are in the game in the story and co-op modes.
So many good options to choose from. From slightly more obscure that would be War of the Ring Uruk-Hai. Not very good for high tier unit. But their bow had knockback effect. Sending other units flying was cool.
>>722666550>>722666590Can you list one problem with it while respecting that it's trying to be different to 1?https://youtu.be/DfrMLw14XeM?si=kSpb3rWx_QWPsMi4
>>722673209it sucks
>>722673278That's not specific.
>>722673209>general size of maps>breaking up rock-paper-scissor, making almost everything effective against everything>...making experimental weaker to make them a more common appearance. Some of them are a bit too silly>rng experimental quickstart>infinite energy storage is gay as fuck>weird tech tree system that wants you to semi commit on strategies/units
>>722671410Protoss in SC2 were supposed to be more 'blended' between High and Dark Templar. Dragoons were 'upgraded' to heavier Immortals while Dark Templar Stalkers took on their role of light ranged walker.
>>722664371The single player is a good time waster as long as you understand how you're supposed to play. It's pre-modern 40k at this point so you'll also get to experience how a swathe of the pre-2010s fanbase got introduced to it.
>>722673863>breaking up rock-paper-scissor, making almost everything effective against everything>rng experimental quickstartWhat do you mean?
>>722676178maybe play the game before defending ithttps://supcom2.fandom.com/wiki/Half-baked

>>722676569I hadn't realized that the disables were RNG.
>>722679003Kel'Thuzad was a better man
>>722664247I have it but I have yet to play it yet. Fuck!
I just think they are neat
While it's not my all time favorite, it's probably number 2. Brutal Legend had such amazing unit designs and characters.
he sucks ass but the tesla coil from RA2
HANDGUNNERS
surprised no one posted it yet
>>722660097Dryad having second set of tits on back was always funny to me
>>722659365DoW banshees are really satisfying to use
>>722669930>His character went from a frantic, struggling heroarthas was never a hero, he was a villain raised by heros. Thats why the lich king picked him.
Pikmin are just so cute. Why is there not more Pikmin style games.
My dad bought me a RTS when I was younger, but I could never run it on my PC. All I remember is that it's a futuristic setting, and the manual described all the units as people in a bar with a story telling aspect. It was really green.Any ideas?
>>722689779no idea man, can't remember any story details? is it 2d or 3d?
>>722689921I think I found it. Dark Reign 2.

>>722663765Ground control my beloved
>>722659365Honestly I like the entirety of SC1's designs but If I had to choose I guess it would be Hyralisks.still havent played SC2
>>722659365You can spam the fuck out of Carnifexes in Gladius. Mid game Nids is pretty damn hard to stop for other factions, and quite frankly seeing the rape train going is always fun to do.
>>722696647>still havent played SC2its pretty good
>>722696737HoTS and LoV fucking sucked tho.
>>722662957STEEL TALONS RULE!

Is there any other RTS as kino as Warcraft 3? I haven't played really any besides AoE 2 but even then I didn't like it that much, sure it's beautiful and all but there is pretty much 0 variety and games are so stale and linear. In WC3 you can just pull off a whole bunch of stuff to your hearts content and it's not gook clicking instakill like Starcraft 2...Also it's either MG, Raider or Necromancer from WC3, love them all.
>>722669930I remember as a kid being mad that he went from OP as shit as a level 10 paladin doing chaos damage with frostmourne in the last mission to being a level 1 chump death knight who couldn't 1v1 uther
>>722685998Extremely satisfying unit. Hard to make a whole army of them work due to how micro intensive they can get, but controlling 1-4 units of them and getting amazing flank/rear shots on engaged units is one of the best feelings Total Warhammer gives
>>722697761> and it's not gook clicking instakill like Starcraft 2...Brother, I like WC3 as much as the next guy but it's MORE of a gook clicker than SC2 was because of the smaller army sizes and the importance heroes had to your army compositions. 9/10 Undead builds revolve using the Death Knight as first, and sometimes second, hero because he's just that good compared to the other UD heroes.
>>722664371DoW is what made me a W40K fan. Play Dark Crusade if you like RTS where you pick your faction and conquer pieces of maps.
>>722697761kino as in cinematic storytelling from multiple factions, voiced and visually detailed units. No, it just isnt worth to put in that much effort into a dwindling genre. Maybe tactical jrpgs
>>722697761Check out Battle Realms.To have it on-topic: Fucking love me Serpent Clan musketeers with sniper-scopes.
>>722660478https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb0Dsd64qkk&list=PLIInmvZxw1efbOud8ZLL1e4EWc-5YPG6qBoy do I have a campaign for you.
>>722698172Kane's Wrath tried to make something similar for CnC 3, but you could break that shit pretty damn fast with custom made armies and those strategic powers that could fuck up a region before you even attack. Fun, but regular skirmishes were still somewhat better.
>>722659365https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX2FjJm2_YA
>>722698418Dark Crusade has something similar called Honor Guard. They are basically elite versions of your units and you can deploy them right at the start of each battle. You do have to unlock them first though.
>>722664535Generals if you want a standalone game and not interested with the rest of the series.Red Alert 2 if you want the "mainstream" C&C with all the fun memes and interesting storyline.Both are great.
>>722698525Yeah, but the difference here is imagine playing Eldar except you could have nothing BUT honor guard Seer Councils as your starting force before the battle even started. Oh and here's 3 Avatar of Khaine's to go with it. If you could afford the cost of the custom armies you could throw just about anything into them.
>>722698514>Chaos Dreadnoughts >exact opposite of the faithful counterparts>on constant sufferingGrim
>>722698643Now that's definitely insane lol
>>722669859Zero Hour never worked for me for some reason (base game works fine), so I had to settle for mods as a compromise which ended up being Shockwave.Juhziz is just so damn fun to play seeing literally everything explode. The ZSU-57 (quad cannon replacement) is so damn busted being dual-purpose AA and AT.
>>722659495Get down sparky.
>>722698745Kane's Wrath is pretty damn good but man the concept of balance with that game mode was a joke. Even on hard you can bully the fuck out of the AI. Playing Nod was always fun as fuck. Nothing says fuck you in particular like rolling up with a squad of flame tanks and some Black Hand to burn their whole base down in the first couple minutes. Or the tried and true sub 5 minute bike rush and kill your harvesters.
>>722698095I don't know much about SC2 but everytime I watch it armies get killed in less than a second, I like the smaller skirmishes with limited units, it's not too big of a pain to micro when you are unser no upkeep. It can definitely get hectic I agree. Healing is really strong in the game but you can absolutely do without the DK, it's just that most people don't want to because he is that good.
>>722698095>hero because he's just that good compared to the other UD heroes.not only that but also because passive regen is too good to pass up
>>722698280Just checked it out, I'll definitely try it out, it looks wonderful, thank you very much!
>>722687421im 13 and this is deepand also wrong
>>722668939What game is this?
>>722689701I think people who like those games are just chilling.It's too early for some autistic nerd to make something on his own, like for Harvest Moon
>>722700693Universe_at_War:_Earth_Assault

I'LL MAKE THE SACRIFICE
>>722659365Dwarf Firstborn in Age Of Wonders III. Completely busted, I loved them.
>>722671410The real reason is that they couldn't recreate their movement to be reminiscent of dragoons and they kept feeling "off". They also thought it was too versatile (like the hydra, which was moved up a tier). So thet added the lore that dragoons could only be built on aiur, and that the remaining dragoons were upgraded to immortals. Which makes as little sense as not using colossus earlier against the zerg. But that's the lore reason they gave.They also liked instead having two more specialised units: the dark templar stalker as a swift unit and the immortal as a heavy anti armor unit.

>>722697298LMAO.
I liked the cavalry in The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth. It was fun to run over enemies. By the end of the game your army was invincible because they levelled up in every map.
>>722669227I still have the cds, are you saying it no longer works?Pic was the only XL t2 unit in the game, love it.
>>722669739ya
>>722701337Looks goodI wonder what the problem with the game was>On May 10, 2007, Sega announced that the title was also in development for the Xbox 360, which was released in 2008.[2] Further, on June 27, 2007, Sega announced that the title would allow cross platform multiplayer through Xbox Live and Games for Windows – Live services.oh
>>722697761>and all but there is pretty much 0 variety and games are so stale and linearI think the only thing that is always the same is the villager/food stuff, everything else is just branching from there depending on your strategy
there are a few but if I must got for 1 it will be this bad boy, it's kinda funny but if you look at the details the tank actually looks like it was inspired by ww2 german tanks, like the turret and chassis elements
