Lowenhertz: The right formula for a stratagey game without the basebuilding element.Ĥ3. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn Of War II Developer: Relic Entertainment

Sid Meier's Civilization II Developer: MicroproseĤ4. The sluggish pace of traversing the maps and the intense heated combat of multiple capital ships, corvettes, and support ships just felt so satisfying.Įlaine: It's the perfect blend of RTS and 4X with a very approachable learning curve.Ĥ5.

As in, if my fleet is caught two or three jumps away from a key battle, I can count them out already. Nitric22: The push and pull dynamics of holding and taking the gravity wells along the travel lanes in these monstrous maps is what really made Sins Of A Solar Empire special.

Age Of Empires III Developer: Ensemble Studios Warcraft II: Tides Of Darkness Developer: Blizzard Entertainment Shame about the last DLC, but let's just agree to ignore that.Ĥ8. Endless Space 2 Developer: Amplitude Studiosĭglenny: Clearly defined factions and asymmetric mechanics and a great big my-goodness-I'm-so-powerful-now. relegated to no.50 is an absolute disgrace. Just one thing before we get started, though. Importantly, it's a very different ranking to our own best strategy games list, which is great! I love seeing such a variety of different games and tastes come to the fore here, and thank you to everyone who wrote in to tell us about their favourite strategy game as well - your words will forever be enshrined in the list below, just like our RPS 100: Reader Edition.

That some games in these respective series still broke into the top ten all on their own is testament to their enduring appeal, of course, and I'm dead keen to see what you make of this list in the comments below. StarCraft would be sitting at number one, followed by Command & Conquer, Civilization, Supreme Commander, Age Of Empires, XCOM, Total War and Warcraft, with two more individual games that I won't name here because, you know, spoilers. I won't spoil which game received the highest number of votes up top here, but let's just say if I was ranking this list by series, we'd have a very different top ten.

Naturally, with so many mods and expansions coming up on the list, the number of votes for certain games has ended up becoming quite diluted in places. Here are your 50 favourite strategy games of all time, as voted for by you, the RPS readership. As with all strategy games, however, there can only be one victor - and you can find out what that single strategy game to rule them all is right here. And cor, I've never seen such love for individual expansions and total conversion mods among mainline RTS games and 4Xs. Earlier this month, we asked you to vote for your favourite strategy games of all time to celebrate the launch (and glorious return) of several strategy classics this month, including Relic's WW2 RTS Company Of Heroes 3, Blue Byte's The Settlers: New Allies and Cyanide's fantasy Warhamball Blood Bowl 3.
