empire earth kicks rear end and is usually forgotten, age of empires always felt too much like starcraft or warcraft to me (quick games focused on micro and tactical decicions), empire earth was a lot more like total annihilation or supreme commander with more strategic games that took several hours, especially if you played against the cheating AI players supreme commander is also great

dracula vladdy AF posted:I liked Empire Earth when it came out, but having revisited it a few years back that game is hot mess when it comes to unit relationships. The first 8 or so (of 15 ages oy vey) are all pretty straightforward, but as soon as gunpowder units become more common and especially once you start incorporating aircraft and cybers, it gets really hard to keep track of what is supposed to beat what. The game winds up suffering hard for its ambition, there's just way too many systems and features interacting at once that the game winds up feeling overwhelming and very difficult to get into. the game shone if you played against the AI, rather than against a human player. it really wasn't suitable for pvp matches but i didn't like to play rts against human players anyway and always found it stressful. instead my housemate and i at the time would play a game on LAN against 1 or 2 hard computers. the AI would cheat like crazy, just pumping units out of the ground, so you had to turtle up and slowly fight back from a stronghold while keeping up with the tech, it was more like a tower defense game. these games would last for 5 hours or something, like an entire evening where we'd pause the game to hold strategic meetings and decide which part of the AI's bullshit base to attack next one thing i also remember is that we set the ages cap at "modern", the future stuff isn't really much fun

Serephina posted:I played Planetary Annihilation a while ago and was only lukewarm on it, but it did seem like a direct TA successor, from the eyes of someone who never touched those games. Was it any good, according to the experts? I kinda got bored of it. I also question the 'no apm' claim as in PA, for every spare second there was always something to do, a hallmark of good real-time games. the problem with that game is that you just lose oversight of what's going on, you fight on a bunch of generic planets that are hard to remember, you have to switch between them to manage these huge armies and it starts to feel more like youre a manager than a general, you're just outnumbering your enemy rather than outsmarting him

the worst rts is probably conquest earth, your units dont even fire back, you have to manually control each one. fog of war is an actual fog that you have to disperse with a special unit, since it's about an invasion by gaseous aliens from jupiter the graphics were cool though

WilWheaton posted:I really liked the chiller RTS-citybuilders of the yesteryear. Outpost 2 was janky as gently caress in retrospect, but, it definitely captivated my 10 year old self. i love settlers 2, especially with the expansion, just taking over europe and building a nice little settlement, uncovering more of the map etc i really like the look of the terrain in those games, in a way i find difficult to explain, something about the green grass and little details like animals walking around, trees and so on

bfme2 is fun but i could never get the mods for it to work, somehow the game would always launch and just play like normal without the mod, i dont remember what the issue was exactly though
