That's not necessarily a bad thing, as it provided a fix for anyone still hungover on the Warcraft RTS. Armies of Exigo copies most of the mechanics from Warcraft, and not many games can pull off a decent imitation of the formula. The graphics are slightly better than Warcraft III, and the factions are familiar enough. Back in the height of the RTS genre during the early s, Battle Realms was also a strong contender in the category for its oriental take.
The game is based on Japanese medieval culture and features samurai clashing alongside wolfmen and necromancers. Battle Realms also introduced its unique mechanic for the RTS genre, where base building and management are minimized to focus on the combat.
Sadly, Battle Realms was underrated despite its novel ideas, but the demand for the game's Zen Edition remaster is proof enough of its appeal.
One of the more recent titles that aren't about combat or crushing your enemies, Kingdoms and Castles is a more relaxed experience. It's actually a city-building game, but that still counts as a strategy game in our books.
As for the medieval fantasy aspect, you'll mostly be building your kingdom with dragon attacks in mind. The medieval landscape in Kingdoms and Castles tends to be ravaged by fire-breathing dragons from time to time despite how cute it is in terms of art style. Apart from those, you must ensure that your villagers survive winter and other perils, such as the Vikings. It was starting to look pretty bleak for the medieval fantasy genre since it lacked big AAA titles from onwards. That is until Total War: Warhammer swooped down and showed everyone just how fun it is to exterminate orcs and undead strategically.
Like the first game, the game offered two campaigns split between separate discs that put you in command of the Brotherhood of Nod or the GDI.
It was one of the first games to make heavy use of the environment by allowing your soldiers to become poisoned, and even mutated by Tiberium fields. Ice and destructible terrain also played a role in the game, by allowing you to knock out bridges to close off approaches or funnel the enemy units towards a killzone.
Supreme Commander is the spiritual sequel to Total Annihilation. It offers ultra large maps and equally huge robotic armies that march across the battlefield. The game allows you to get down and dirty by zooming close into your units or a strategic overview that sees you controlling icons that represent your units from way above.
Playable across multiple monitors, the game offers a sense of scale missing from almost every other real-time strategy game as you send hundreds of units to battle countless others—all of whom are dwarfed by some super gigantic units that walk across the battlefield like titans. Like the original game, you take charge of a Daimyo pursuing the position of Shogun—or overlord of Japan. Depending on which territory you start in, you will possess a multitude of strengths, as well as weaknesses to contend with.
Conquering territories will gain you access to more units, wealth, and better technology to use against your opponents. His actions had irreversible consequences that caused the Soviets to rise to power instead of being diminished and set back by the Germans during the Second World War.
The success of Age of Empires 2 gave rise to many copycats, but Rise of Nations stood above the rest by actually being its own thing instead of copying Age of Empires feature by feature.
The game offered a persistent campaign that enabled your conquest of the world turn by turn. Every decision you made counted towards or against your absolute victory as you rose through the ages from prehistory to the modern age.
Medieval: Total War is arguably the best game in the long-running series of war games by Creative Assembly. The game puts you in the role of a Dungeon Keeper—an overlord, a boss, and fascist king dictator of a monster-filled dungeon. With the help of your monsters, you must expand your dungeon by digging through the earth, uncovering treasure and mining for gold, and making it a desirable place to live for your evil minions.
Having a successful dungeon also makes it an enticing target for the goodly terrestrial heroes who want nothing more than to claim a slice of your treasure and extinguish the beating heart of your dungeon.
To that end, you have to construct elaborate traps and hire minions capable of falling even the mightiest knights—or better yet, turning them to your cause. Based on real world principles; defensive strategies such a turtling are a viable option in single player and competitive play.
This allows you to grow your base in a natural and progressive order so that you can keep expanding steadily and solidify a stronghold. Edge of Chaos is a true real-time strategy game with elements like base-building, resource gathering, unit production and hero management; featuring large armies, battles, sieges, tactical maneuvers, rituals, summonings and unique new additions to the genre.
Whether you want to play as the technologically advanced humans with strong fortifications, the wild nomad tribe of Wylfings who have the ability to pack up and move their entire base or you simply look toward the end of times like the Orcs do; we aim for players to have a true blast exploring various play styles and possibilities that are unique to each faction.
Lore Men of the southerly Realm are the most technological and sophisticated of the races. They construct realistic villages and towns, walls, moats, and defences, towering castles and fortresses, dirt and cobblestone roads. They are able to assault the most fortified positions thanks to their ingenious siege weapons such as ballistae that fire gigantic bolts or trebuchets that fling burning rocks several hundred metres. They field well-trained and armoured foot soldiers equipped with pikes, swords and halberds, and longbowmen and arbalestiers that can lose off volley after volley of arrows over great distances.
The greatest unit in the human army is probably the Knight. These mounted warriors charge into combat astride specially bred warhorses — their thundering hooves enough to spread terror amongst enemy ranks.
Slow, steady rise to power focusing on consolidation over expansion. Late game strengths lie in the best pound-for-pound heavy cavalry— the knight, disciplined infantry, armour-piercing arbalesters, longbows, wizardry and holy magic, artillery and siege. Their battlefield presence is anchored by their ability to adapt any terrain to their advantage by building the most formidable fortresses in the game — the Castle.
