Empire at War.
Sacrifice.
Endless Legend/Endless Space games have campaigns. They're not as set in stone as a normal campaign would be in an RTS, for example, but you get a bunch of campaign quests that lead you to the faction-specific victory condition. You can, of course, win through the generic 4X victory conditions as well.I don't know if I should make a seprate thread about it by why do 4x games (and related) generally not have a proper campaign? Are there games like say ... stellaris but with good campaign? Is age of wonders one of them?

And why do you even need campaigns in 4Xs in the first place? They are for larping your own empire and to satisfy your mass-murder desires, not for fancy stories.
HoMM 2 is worth it, yep. It's not really a 4X though. If you're lenient enough to consider it alongside 4X games, you can also look into Thea (you get one city, and do quests/explore the world to complete a global objective for your faction campaign), King's Bounty series (It's basically an extremely long HoMM-like singleplayer campaign each game), and maybe Eador, although it's not quite as story-driven or 4Xish. Still fun though. And the aforementioned Endless Space and Endless Legend games.And why do you even need campaigns in 4Xs in the first place?

I dunno man I know that is the case but I just can't find motivation to play without beginning and end sort of thing and a story. My mind has been corrupted by other genres.
Also tbh being hopeless lefty I would just make a communist empire and ally everyone while giving out free shit to random aliens. Yea... hard to reach win conditions that way
Also I appreciate the list man looks really cool. I knew about HOMM already. Although question... are homm 1,2 worth?
Imperium Galactica 2 looks cool but gog reviews say its a shit version not the original. ... and nvm further reviews said its since been fixed. People not updating reviews decline...

HoMM 2 is definitely worth it, some still hold it above the third instalment in the series.

HoMM isn't RTS or even close to RTS so i don't know why you people suggest it.
TBS turn based strategy, duh
Nope, the turn/real-time distinction is clear enough for just about everyone to make that distinction really. It's tactics and strategy games that people habitually lump together.TBS turn based strategy, duh
Yea but like most people dont use TBS term and instead consider TBS to be under RTS for convenience. Kind of like MOBA doesn't make sense when you think about individual words but its historically been used to classify shit like dota. I,e I think RTS is short for strategy games for most people not Real-time strategy games. I know its decline but whatever honestly.

I think RTS i think basically strategy games as a whole
What? RT <-> real time, TB <-> turn based.

Yea I get it man. I am not arguing anything, just sayingI psychologically dont really care enough to make distinction, and I think many people don't either. Exactly same way I don't give a shit if rpg is turn based or not. I know full well the actual meaning of the term means Real Time tho. But in casual conversation I generall say RTS regardless of it being TBS or not.
Also I appreciate the response
He asked about 4Xs, not RTS. Wrong thread, yes.
