Wait multiple choice?....

Then I chose....

 

 

Total Annihilation.

Best RTS ever. Nothing is close to it. FAST HUGE DESTRUCTION. There is so micro and macro management here that starcraft 2 can kiss it ass godbay.

 

Settlers

One of earliest best mico eco games.

 

Dune I/II

I. Good, adventure with spice of strategy.

II. First RTS?

 

Overlord

Well personally I wouldn't put it here but it is here so I pick it up because it was cool game :P

Voted Total Annihilation. There has not been a game in its genre to beat it (even today).

 

C&C\Red Alert\Dune are all very good games but they fall short of Total Annihilation in pretty much every possible category. TA was also very easy to mod.

 

Best RTS ever. Nothing is close to it.

 

 

 

This (what more more needs to be said, still installed even on my current top of the line PC)

Total Annihilation. I could spend days playing a single skirmish map. Building rows of Big Berthas (Arm all the way!), creating sprawling bases, trying to steal the enemy commander using a transport (and subsequently blowing him up with the literal walls of defenders), creating hundreds of Brawlers to patrol my base, and nukes... Lots of nukes...

 

I have got to reinstall this game.

Oh, man...I am right there with you! Course, I have never uninstalled the game. I played more hours than I will ever be able to count on this sucker. I was addicted to finding the most massive maps I could for it. There literally were thousands back in the day.

 

My two favorite mods for this game are ThePack and UTASP5. Both add tons of new\improved units and even buildings\guns. There is a Big Bertha that has a rotating three barrel cannon that can literally halt an invasion damn near by itself. Course it takes forever to build (unless you mod the time). That and they ramp up the nukes for the AI. You had better build anti-nuke missiles to defend your base or you can kiss it goodbye.

A three barrel Bertha? I've got to see that. Bet it's almost as fun as firing the Vulcan. :P

 

I used Absolute Annihilation, for the most part (Ah! I just found a working sourceforge link, score!). I think it was aimed at being one of those balanced expansions. It was certainly much better than its "descendant" TA: Twilight.

Voted for WBC, (in 2nd TA)

A great games, many, many races, a commander for once that is on the battlefield and has some meaning for being there.

THe evolution of the commander, the risk-like campaign and the unforgettable speech of youyr undead minion.

(making some mounted skeleton and earring them screaming "We riiiiide again" upon completion is one of these)

TAU was my first forum for about a month, until I was introduced to Zelda Universe and became a near rabid Zelda fan-boy. I tried keeping up, but when Cyder stopped working on AA (I think he wanted to devote his time to the Spring engine), and planetannihilation.com died (which now redirects to IGN), I fell completely out of the loop.

 

Holy shit, that is a LOT of maps.

whoa wait so TA is open source RTS what the hell im gonna buy that game!!

Tried TA Spring when it was practically Alpha, wonder if they finally got the AI to work...
