I totally agree. Stronghold 1 and Crusader are classics that I still enjoy. However, I recently had the chance to beta test Immortal Gates of Pyre, and it looks promising.

I'm glad you did this. To me, RTS has ALWAYS meant base building. I come from the Dune, Warcraft, Command & Conquer days, so an RTS that doesn't involve base building isn't something that I consider RTS, even though they are RTS by definition. I just don't have any interest in them, and they always get lumped in with games that I would love to play
Yeah, this is what made me love this genre! Well, that, and then steamrolling the AI with a huuuge army. One of the most satisfying experiences in gaming, that's for sure.
@@RazorX0517 Oh yeah, dude! If I wanted to just relax, I would set up a game with me and 3 AI. First, I would just set up impenetrable base defenses and then just start building up a huge army. Once I got it all set up, I would damn near freeze my PC by moving all of that shit at once
To be more precise, RTS without base building are called RTT, real time tactic games. Unfortunately, almost anybody use that term, so now you have RTS used for games which have nothing in common with the classics.
This is a really great list bro. You got all the major gems like Starcraft 2 and SupCom and those hidden wonders like TAB and Last Train Home. It's a shame the industry is moving away from base building RTS. There are some nice games coming out soon but not as frequent as we use to have.
It's funny that even after so many years SC2 is still one of the best RTS games. I gave a shoot to some new RTS games and with most of them I was disappointed. SG was a joke. I said to myself I will give a shoot to IGP and if that doesn't go well I will stick only to SC2.
I loved Supreme Commander! I enjoyed how you could zoom way out and see just boxes on a map screen. It really makes you feel like you have command on a large map.
I can't go back to these. I need real weapon ranges. Tank battles meters apart, no. Unlimited zoom, yes. Massive maps. Steel Division 2 mixed with base building, even more realistic weapon ranges. And definitely 4x expansion on the very large map sizes. With that map being listed as small. Tired of the tactical games like SD2, Wargame and the up coming Broken Arrow. Give me that with base building.
