Best Real Time Strategy series?

Warcraft/Starcraft
Command and Conquer
Age of Empires

Which shall it be? (Don't forget to vote!!!)

That's a tough one. I'd say C&C and SC are the ones in the running here - AoE is amazingly good but not quite as hot as those. I think I'll go with C&C on the basis of Kane.

I think Age of Empires and Warcraft both have a layer of complexity that Command & Conquer lacks, but C&C is just so much fun. Definitely my favorite as a series.

C&C thank you kindly. I want more Allies-Soviets and I want it now.

Really don't play enough RTS and I certainly haven't played C&C for ages but I'm going to have to go with C&C. I've only actually played a demo of Age of Empires. I suppose I should fix that.

Age of Empires, followed by Total War. Medieval represent!

Total War.

Starcraft. I'd include Warcraft, but I'd put Starcraft too far ahead of any Warcraft game to include them. I do think Warcraft 3 was a strong game, but not nearly as much fun as Starcraft. I will grant that Warcraft 3 had much better custom maps than SC though.

I think I'll go for the 'crafts myself. They've got this neat touch to them and a totally awesome storyline. I liked the fun factor in C&C and the historical touch in AoEs though.

PS: I think Warcraft lost on prestige, what they've gained on fanbase with WoW. A pity. :(

These people express my opinion. You fail for not including Total War. It trounces all other RTS so severely.

And Starcraft II's map editor is probably going to blow WCIII's away completely. Sure, WCIII came later, but that doesn't make it a better game. Heck, it's just a fantasy based version of SC anyway.

Well, Star Craft and Age of Empire are fairly awesome. I also had some fun with some of the C&C games.

Eh, I can't choose so I won't. :p

I wager that Total War wasn't included because it's not RTS. It's Real Time Tactics (RTT) and TBS.

Actually no, I don't expect that's why it was left out at all, but that's why it shouldn't be included here.

Is this thread supposed to be a trick question?

Probably not completely. You can do almost everything in WCIII, including trigger-work. SC's was even less powerful than WCII's, but what made it shine was its accessibility, and as we got further along, the ability to adapt other forms of code to construct the advanced map-making tools we have (Forge, Draft).

Remember EUDs?

Command and Conquer!
