That's the best RTS Game Ever!!! im like in love of R:TW
by the way, another really great underated game that i really like it was "Act of War" the problem is that the AI in skirmish mode its kind of .... powerfull, dificult, awesome, oh and cheater of course :P

RTW is crap, unfortunately. The AI was horrible (I once stopped an army of about 600 with 60 german spearmen, the AI just kept coming head on to me rather than flanking me), horses are overpowered and aren't easily stopped by spearmen (which they should be), and, unless the lag problem was fixed recently, you can't play games online at all.

A real good RTS is Kohan 2: Kings of War, but not many people play it online. It is one of the few games which is an actual strategy game rather than a mass unit fest like most RTS's are.

Starcraft was great back in the day and still is but I don't really play it anymore.

my favourites are:

Rome Total War with either the Rome Total Realism mod or the SPQR 3.0 mod
C&C Series, (All of them!) :o
Age of Empires 2 classic.
Also Ground Control 1 & 2. Any fans of that game here?

do like drunkenpirate, try the SPQR mod, its one of the best things that RTW has to offer :P

by the way, what about Age of Empires 3?? at first i didnt like it at all (screens, of course) because of the napoleonic era and stuff, i really feel that the combat type of that era its.. retarded, so i didnt like it at all, but after i saw a couple of videos i went like :rock: and to be honest i cant wait for the day to be released

AoE3 I have been drooling over since it's inception. I'll admit I too was a little hesitant about the colonial era battles but.. WOW I want it bad. :O

I feel the same way. I hope it's better than the two previous games.

Favorites: Rise of Nations, Warcraft 3 + FT expansion, all of command and conquer...

Does BF2 sorta count when you play commander more? Its a RTS, no really XD;

Yes definately, I have the EE gold version that comes with the axpansion and the Prima strat guide. Awesome title.

[Gulf_War_Syndrome]

Was Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour, then it became Rome Total War and now it's commander mode in Battlefield 2!

[HullBreach]

yea great game, i tried out the demo for ee2 and liked it, i never got around to buying it though. I probably won't with F.e.a.r. just around the corner.. And then when i'm done with that age of empires 3 will probably be out.. :cry:

[Grey Fox]

Star Craft overall.
C&C red alert 2, the singleplayer, especially the US
C&C generals: zero hour the multiplayer, it's just a great combination between strategie and action.
