Strategy Game Megathread

[Mr. Hurricane]

The Strategy genre of games are based on the use of strategies and tactics. The player is usually given some type of force and must make decisions on how to complete and objective without losing their forces/resources. The strategy genre also encompasses RTS, RTT (Real Time Tactics) and Turn-based Strategy.

Some good examples of strategy games are,

-Total War series

-StarCraft I & II

-Warhammer 40k Dawn of War series

-Command & Conquer series

-Red Alert series

-Dai Senryaku series

-Homeworld series

And I guess you could probably consider Anno and Civilization strategy games.

I personally like Red Alert, Civilization, Dai Senryaku VII, and Warhammer, and even though I've never played it, Homeworld.


So forum, discuss strategy games and such.

I had that nostalgic feeling today, So have been playing C&C Generals. Also Civ is not and rts. RTS stands for Real Time Strategy, Civ would fall under Turnbased Strategy Genre.

[Mr. Hurricane]

Dai Senryaku is turn based but labelled RTS.

EDIT: Updated OP to include all strategy games.

I guess DEFCON could be counted as a strategy game.

I've played Hearts of Iron Europa 3, Victoria 2 and I was considering expanding my Paradox grandstrategy collection. Is Supreme Ruler Cold War any good?
