Favourite strategy game of all time

[Geoffrey S]

1) Alpha Centauri (Classic. Spent more time with this than any other game)
2) Medieval Total War (Got me interested in history, and was a great game to boot)
3) Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (only one of the series I've played, others may be even better)
4) Civilization 4 (Loved what I've played thus far, but I've had far too little time lately to start properly)
5) Europa Barbarorum (getting close to what RTW could have been)

I like patched, modded, upgraded MoO ]I[ (huge and wonderful), that and of course M:TW XL.

Whats that MoO, Vladimir - Master of Orion?

Well up until a couple weeks ago, Medieval Total War was my favorite strategy game. But the crown has finally been passed to a new champion: Galactic Civilizations 2. It's without a doubt the single biggest reason I haven't been on the forums here since February 28. It's literally been years since I've lost so much sleep from playing a computer game--indeed, I haven't spent this many hours playing a game since I got MTW back in early 2003. Anyway, with that said, here's my list:


1.) GalCiv 2
2.) MTW
3.) Birth of the Federation **
4.) STW
5.) Lords of the Realm 2
6.) Command & Conquer Red Alert/Red Alert 2


Basically, I ranked each game according to how many hours of my life I've wasted playing it.


** Yes, I realize people will throw things at me and say I should be committed for having this game on my all-time list. I simply can't help myself though; I love space strategy games, and I love Star Trek--which it makes it easy for me to overlook the game's myriad flaws.

But it simply has that special, captivating something... at least as far as the space Cx4 strategies are concerned... and specially if you mod it with one of the many mods that have been made for it. Im with you, my General!
