For the Strategic Game Lovers!!

[sumitava_b]

I was getting crazy to find that there is no dedicated thread in this great community for strategic games freaks!! Now we, the strategists, can discuss every nuances of any strategy game here. Let's begin the journey......[/b]

[sumitava_b]

Lets start with an uncommon game that I liked so much because I had to use all my thought-control to play that game. It's "Syberia". Puzzle-solving story-telling game with tremendous graphics. Has anyone played that game?

[Satissh S]

Not me! But Strategy surely is my passion. Any 1 nows how to play turn based games! I Like da aoe series and rise of nations.

I have played Syberia. First of all it is an adventure and not a strategy game. Secondly, you are right about the graphics. they are truly mind blowing. Have you played Syberia II? It is even better than the first. Where did you get your copy from? I had to ask someone from the US to get it for me coz I couldn't find a copy anywhere here.

i dont agree man syberia was way better than its sequel

I guess you feel that way because you had already seen Syberia's awesome graphics, and since the graphics were pretty much the same in the sequel, they didn't seem good enough.
Syberia II was way more challenging than the prequel and had more intresting characters.

Heroes of Might and Magic series, Etherlords I & II are just to name a few. Am playing a strato come RPG game right now called Spellforce. Its the Shadow of the Phoenix expansion.

I love strategy games.
especially aoe,aom,ronand the lotr series.

As far as turn based games are concerned,
I find mysely a bit more prone to impatience.

Hey bhai
Hum bhi hain team mein. I am also a lover of strategy games . I have not played the game you mentioned but I have played aoe, aoe2, command and conquer tiberian sun, red alert gold and ultima and many more. What do you think of them.

[saurya_mishra]

well RTS .......when it come to RTS it is warcraft 3 .what a game it is i spend a whole month continously for playing wc3. Breath taking graphics and a very fine game play . i like to be an orc. i played warcraft 3 and frozen throne .
ANY warcraft fan mail me at chosssm@sify.com

[sumitava_b]

True, Warcraft was a milestone for graphics, basically those interconnecting animation videoes in between episodes are really breathtaking. Sometimes I spent time seeing those animations only even after completing the whole game.. ...The story was also very engrossy....But I missed cute li'le Hobbits there.. ....

[sumitava_b]

I think everyone looking into this thread must be a big fan of civilization games. Then let's start a good discussion...WHICH ONE IS THE BEST CIVILIZATION GAME YOU HAVE PLAYED TILL NOW AND WHAT ARE THE REASONS?

Let's begin the game........

[Satissh S]

Some of the best titles that hit me are:
1. Warcraft 3
2. AOM and Titans.
3. Conquerors El-Cid and other Campaigns such as Joan of Arc.

The One That really involved me to a great deal is "The Fall Of Trident" Campaign in AOM. Scintillating! wasn't it?

[godzi_85]

i love startegy games. literally live on em!!! lol
hmm the last game i played was rome total war.. actualy just got the game.. finished the imperial campaiign...
its amazing.. rocks..!!!!! esp when you have huge armies. .and it boils down to your comanders influence and command and your units experience.. truly one of the best ever!! i say!!! .
the one hing i hate is the the long campaign after you capture 50 provinces the game returns back to he main menu i would love t ocapture the whole world!! lol
hmm also loved RON.. .. great strategies to appply and stuff.. and with so many customs scenarios available its a treat to play thge game man.. its truly rocking!!!!
hmm.. no one played home world 2.... i absolutely adored it.. it was one of the best i have ever played.. really nice game.. its a space strategy game..
and i though syberia 2 (which i loved ) is an adventure game....
also played ground control 2.. realy nice. with 2 campigns.... its rocking esp at the medium difficulty level....
i also liked command and conquer generals..... zerohour...
with age if empire being one of the first game of this genre i played..

[sumitava_b]

Sometime I wonder about microsoft who once made groundbreaking launch of games like AOE, AOM, RON. But I feel that after that it crawls back into its shell. Those games were like pioneers in strategy game with rocking graphix. But after that microsoft just could not cope up with the high expectations. Many other game-maker actually overtook them in terms of quality in game.

Ya it's true that Microsoft is trying to come back with AOE3 and all. but still we were expecting much more.

Ever heard of Ice Wind Dale: I and II?

I got a cd of that from my friend and never did understand it much. It's the only RPG that I've.

Question: Would you classify military/secret agent type games as strategy games?

[sumitava_b]

As far as I know the answer is yes. I think u r talking about games like commando. They must fall under strategy games. U will burn ur gray cells off while playing those games [/quote]

Ahh Ice Wind Dale...using the Dungeons and Dragons rules engine...awesome games...Got them and completed both. f you like it then try the Baldur's Gate series as well. Excellent games.

Military games such as C&C is a strategy games. However military/stealth games are actually FPS Stealth games such as Project IGI.

[Darthvader]

Try Knights of the old republic i and II . must have for any star wars fan

[devilhead_satish]

Warcraft and AOE and RON are my favs

[sumitava_b]

Hmmmmm....Looks like microsoft fan..

[escape7]

Warcraft III had awesome graphics, and yes i agree with sumitava_b, the ingame videos were really breathtaking man, the last level was a bit difficult, but i completed it without using any cheats!
