What is your favorite Real-Time Strategy Game?

My favorite is Empire Earth because I love how you create your civilizaion and how much you can customize. I like how the units are done where one is better against another, but it also has a unit that can take it out easier. I also like the different random maps.

I want to play Rise of Nations but I haven't been able to yet.

Anyway, post your favorite RTS here.

It's an old game but i like starcraft the best even though blizzard the coompany that made starcraft have gone on to create warcraft 3 which has much better graphics.

Starcraft is for me the most playable of the two games and has three armies that are actually very different from one another I'll admit that warcraft 3 has four different armies, but i just dinf starcraft the most playable. I cant wait for starcraft 2.
Absence is to love as wind is to a flame. It extinguishes the little, it ignites the great.

Life is a test. It is only a test. Had this been real life you would have have been instructed where to go and what to do.

When i argue with reality I lose.....But only 100% of the time.

Once you've decided on a course of action, only you can finish it. As long as you remember that, there's nothing you can't accomplish.

You know, I have always liked the old Age of Empire Games.
StarCraft was fun, but the only thing you could do was make an army and attack your opponents. That’s fine and all for some people, but I like the depth of being able to build a civilization (which btw, would be my favorite if it counted as an RTS…) and go to war when necessary.

Just producing troops and throwing them into battle over and over again gets old fast with me. I do think SC was still a good game, just not for me.

Depend on it. God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply. He is too wise a God to frustrate His purposes for lack of funds, and He can just as easily supply them ahead of time as afterwards, and He much prefers doing so.

I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Age of Mythology, and the expansion was a fun add-on.

I think Age of Empires 2:The Conquerers is also my favorite. It has a great diversity of civilizations and ways to play. Plus, it has a history lesson to boot.
