Battlezone (1998) Remastered

Battlezone 1998 1.5 is faaaar superior. If you want to try it, hit me on PM and I'll give you the old non-remastered version.

You're gonna have to do a lot better than just throwing that out there. I played a few missions of the remaster and didn't see any major breakage or transgender bathrooms.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
It is not recent at all, but have you tried Kohan: Ahriman gift, or any other Kohan game (Kohan:Immortal Sovereign, and Kohan 2).
These were quite different from usual RPG with a stronger focus on logistics and macro (you don't recruit units, but companies of 4*front, 2*flanks+ 2 different suport like healer, paladin, mage...).Units also have upkeep (not like WC3, upkeep is deducted from your income, it is not a % tax).
KAG is the better game, but the other 2 are good too.

You are forgetting that OP is a moron. He doesn't want autistic stuff, that's why he plays Starcrap :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

And you are probably an autist because you cannot figure out how to play best RTS ever yourself.
I have finished Total Annihilation twice, thank you very much.

Also protip: autists are GOOD at figuring things out.

Yes a perfect autist game. Click a few stuff and then spend rest of the time watching it play itself.
Wrong again bub. Autist games are where you have to read strategy guides, start long threads arguing about builds and it takes a million years to get anything useful. Think WoW or really any MMORPG.

You really don't get this whole autism thing do you?

Well my plan was to use that word in a real sense, not gaming slang but I guess I was wrong about trying that. Why? Because Starcraft is played by men, women, kids, older people and even invalids (even some with terrible disabilities like being paralyzed from the neck down).
So only excuse to calling the game bad is if you are an autist or otherwise mentally retarded. Since you don't accept being called an autist, only thing left for you is mentally retarded.
Congrats.

If OP enjoyed DoW, he should give CoH a go.

Base building, resource management, map control, scale ( units count ) like DoW 1.

Graphics and combat closer to DoW 2.
Basic infantry combat is more complex and involved than DoW 2, but without hero units with OP cooldown abilities.

Overall WW2 is a bit boring setting compared to WH40k, but gameplay itself and mission design is a bit better imo.

New "real" RTS games:

Meridian 22, a stripped down StarCraft.
meridian-new-world-2.jpg

(and "Squad 22" the successor).


Etherium: A game in the vein of Z/Dawn of War 2, no "real" base building:

Nightside, an RTS in "total darkness" were light is essential. Some good ideas...
HUMAN.jpg

Reconquest, somewhere between the first C&C and Tiberium Wars, pretty boring designs and maps...

All four are as average as it gets when it comes to the fun level alone.

You can get Planetary Annihilation: Titans real cheap as part of a humble bundle, the vanilla game has a bad rap but the expansion is kinda aight, worst case scenario you play it for a little bit , get bored and then play Sins of a Solar Empire or Offworld Trading company which is also in the bundle.

starcraft old ass game with very basic mechanics. Create huge blob and rush it towards the enemy. While company of heroes franchise you factor in environments and cover its basically like xcom but real time. Its like how people STILL play counter strike to this day when there are fpss now with destructible environments, foliage you can use stealth and crawling. its simply the patrician choice to pick the games that provide the gameplay that reward using your brain more then pure reptilian reflex. Leave those old games like counter strike for poor fag gamers like turbo nerd chinese factory workers and starcraft for those life long dedicated virgin koreans.
