Author Topic: World War 2 strategy game that plays like Rise of Nations?  (Read 896 times)

Asking for my dad.

He has been searching for a WW2 strategy game but all the ones with good combat have no building or resource management. Incase you have no idea what Rise of Nations is.

What is it with dads and their boner for WW2?

Sorry I can't think of any games like that. Maybe Hearts of Iron 3 or Company of Heroes 2?

He doesn't want it if it doesn't have building and resource management. I don't think he cares if the entire focus is ww2 so long as it includes it.

Unity of Command? It's more simple than HoI3

Hearts of iron series maybe
there's also some civ v wwii scenarios


Starcraft. Tell him the Protoss are national socialist's, the Zerg are Soviets, and the Terran are Americans.

Empire Earth 2 on GoG is good. Don't buy 3, though.

Company of Heroes. It's got sort of limited resource management and building though.

Empire Earth.

Alternatively try out the Men of War series.

EE2 looks like it might be your best bet but I dunno, never played any EE game.

Why haven't they made rise of nations 2 yet ;(

Axis & Allies is pretty much exactly what you're looking for
