Well, the title. I wanna play classic style RTS game.
Its been a long time since I actively played RTS games, and I did get some itch to do so again. I'm also in it mainly for SP campaign - the requirement is that its a good game, but bonus points for sum storyfaggotry. Also, the newer it is (or rather, the shinier), the better. Im aware of the fact that RTS genre has declined incredibly, and that there are next to none new ones, but still, shiny graphics are a nice bonus. I have nothing against playing games from 90s tho.
Warcraft III and Starcraft are ones i know by heart by now, I also fucking love Warlords Battlecry III, even tho its clunky and unbalanced as hell. I just love the "RPG elements" in terms of a hero you carry over from game to game, and retinue mechanic was great fun. I also enjoyed Battle Realms immensely, not sure why.
I gave Spellforce 1 a try rather recently, but it aged terribly. The quests are bad, the dialogues fucking terrible, voices overdone etc. I didnt make it far (just got the elven stone i think) but actual gameplay didnt seem so hot either. Will beat it one day tho, just not today.
So, TLDR - classic RTS game (no "dropship" shit, i wanna build some bases), with great campaign and gameplay. Good story is a huge plus, shiny gfx a small one. Oh, also, no historical/realistic stuff pls. I get it, i respect it, not in the mood for it.
