Looking for a nice RTS to play

[Wij]

woot - it's a play-date \o/

Seriously though want to set up a match one night ?

 

[TdC]

ok, you've convinced me. I'll be trying out DOW, and maybe the WA expansion too. Cheers for the advice! Also, once I have the game I'm certainly up for getting thumped at it by you guys

 

[Wij]

We don't call it 'thumped' us pros.












We call it fisted

 

[LordjOX]

Wait for september and Company of Heroes lads (same ppl that made DoW btw)

Yeh - but it doesn't have robots :/

 

[Ch3tan]

Teeds! Make sure you buy DoW + WA, this gives you the goty edition of dow with extra maps, and both games for a cheaper price than getting them seperetly.

The expansion gives you a whole extra race to play with, new units for all races, and 4 new single player campaigns.

Wij, as soon as teeds is happy with the game we will do it.

( I don't fancy getting whopped by you in a 1 on 1 )

 

[Frizz]

what's TA pray?

Total Annihilation. Came out around the same time as UT iirc. Perhaps you were pre-occupied with that, so you never noticed anything else.

indeed

Hey, I'm not that good

only true in some acpects of your prowess Wij


DOW+WA it is then! *looks at cd-wow*

 

[FuzzyLogic]

Cheapest place for that appeared to be http://www.dvd.co.uk/ Mr.Teedles

 

[TdC]

Cheers Fuzzy! From their site I can get Civ VI and DOW gold ed for 48 eur together I'll order tomorrow when I'm home and have access to my credit card

 

[Ch3tan]

I'm off work Tuesday and erm, Thursday I think. So late night, Monday/Wednesday games should suit me fine if your around Wij.

 

[Wij]

Sounds good !

 

[Tilda]

DoW Dark Crusades comming out soon!

 

[Wij]

DoW Dark Crusades comming out soon!

I know, I know. October init ?

 

[Tilda]

apparently

 

[PLightstar]

If your looking for epic try Total War I know its already been metioned but BUY IT! greatest RTS ever, the only game I can think of that comes close is the Cossacks series, which is great aswell, buy Homeworld 2 the mods are pretty good espcially the Star Wars mod knocks the socks off empire at war why did they ever make that game so poor, lets hope this isn't the first warning of Lucasarts slipping again.

 

[Ch3tan]

October 27th for DoW Dark Crusades according to my GAME pre-order update.

 

[Ch3tan]

The SP sounds like Emporer: Battle for Dune.

 

[Ch3tan]

Was that the game also known as Dune 2? I used to love that game, stupid difficulty level on later levels though (the hex editor frequently came out).

 

[tris-]

i dont have the expansion though

 

[TdC]

I still haven't even ordered, so you're one up on me tris

 

[TdC]

Haha yeah i remember starting a 6 player multiplayer at around 11am in the morning it didn't finish until around 2am the following morning

Way too addictive so i sold it lol

 

[Wij]

tris - buy WA ffs. It must only cost about 10p now u tight-fisted sod Then u can play.

Ch3t - no, Dune II was like where RTS all started. Emporer: Battle for Dune was a sort of follow up. Was OK. Single player was all attack and defend points on a map like Risk.
