Top 5 games

[C-F]

I enjoy(ed) very much :

Baldur's Gate
C3 - Pharaoh
RTW-TE5.1
Paradox series - CK,EU2,Victoria
The many faces of GO version 10

Honorable mention: the Myst series very good for a one time challenge...

I'm looking forward to playing :

Caesar IV
MTW 2
EU 3

As you can see, to me the 'turn based / pause button' enabled games are very high in my favour; I dislike(d) FPS/RTS games as they make me realize how old I'm getting in not being able to keep up with the action, and if I do, I miss out on the details of the games...

Poor guy.

He locks them to prevent them from being stolen. They are locked, because they are so precious and he doesn't want anybody to spoil them.

He does it because he loves your threads.

There are many games I like, pretty hard to make a top 5.

-STW MP & SP and mods
-Unreal Tournament 'SP' & MP
-Infiltration mod for UT
-Unreal
-Hidden & Dangerous
-Red Orchestra Ostfront
-MTW MP and mods (SamWars, Community mod, DuX).
-RTW SP when modded
-Black Hawk Down MP, love those snipers
-RTCW MP & SP
-SOF 2 MP & SP
-Had many hours of fun with C&C series, also played MP and lan. Made a MP map around '97 or earlier, called Totalwar. It was a MP map using reinforcements and extra AI controlled factions (hostile or allied) popping up when you didn't need them
-CS 2, love the autosniper
-Operation Flashpoint, why is it not installed?
-Half-life, but not MP. I'm not a fan of the jumping stuff, never passed Xen.
-Alpha Centauri. The diplomatics there were great.
-Caesar III, a Rome citybuilder.
-Railroad tycoon
-Apache Longbow

Top5 games I enjoyed the most in no particular order.
I thought about it for awhile and can't come up with a good order, so here it goes.
- Homeworld2
- MTW + RTW
- Call of duty
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- Farcry

[Specialist290]

1. Civilization II (no matter how many others in the series come out, this game will always have that special place, even if I don't play it much any more...)
2. The Total War series (naturally it's going to be on the list)
3. The Paradox series (CK, EU2, Vicky, HoI2, etc.)
4. Star Wars: Battlefront II (the only computer FPS-style game I've ever really enjoyed)
5. Caesar II (the very first computer game I can consider myself as being addicted to. In my heyday w/ this thing I could get a Large Palace in just about every city I built, at least on City-Only Mode)

HONORABLE MENTIONS SECTION
Civil War Generals II - Turn-based strategy on a boardlike hexagonal map. Includes almost every major battle of the American Civil War, plus several alternative versions of each (plus three special Washington, D.C. battles). Also has several campaigns (including one big one--The Civil War), which are basically several battles strung together, and a Scenario Editor allowing you to build your own battles.

Lords of the Realm II - When I first played the Rome: Total War campaign, it reminded me a lot of this game, minus the resource management. It has a lot of the same concepts and features (armies move on the map, real-time battles, ability to build siege equipment during a castle siege, etc.). You play against 5 other factions, each with their own personality, as you struggle to gain the throne of whatever map you're playing on (including several fictional ones). Hard to believe it was made 10+ years ago.

Starcraft - Pure RTS isn't exactly my cup of tea, but I really enjoyed this game.

[ciprianrusu]

1. Medieval Total War
2. Lords of the realm
3. Call of duty
4. Rise of nations
5. Anno 1502

[highlanddave]

Specialist290, you must have been looking at my stack of game disks!

i love those old games you mentioned.

i also have paradox's hearts of iron ii and i love building up my nation and building units, i am terrible at actual fighting though. i can handle small campaigns early in the war, but multi-front huge conflicts get away from me.
