I have empire and medieval 2. I personally like medieval 2 concept better but the ai gets stupid repetitive. Recommend the age of empires series above all other strategy games tho. I have the aoe2 collection on steam. But I've been playing aoe3 a lot lately. Age of mythology adds a really unique element to strategy. You can play as Greeks, Egyptians, Norse or atlanteans. You choose a patron god (Zeus, Ra, Odin, Kronos,etc. And as you get stronger you can choose minor god and use their god powers and mythical units. I had it on CD...was my first strategy game. It stopped working and I haven't gotten the momentum to buy it off steam. Someday tho...

I would play more of them if I had a better computer, I've only played Medeival 2 and Rome 1, the AI is stupid easy in these earlier ones but they're still awesome games. I still play Rome and that game is 12 years old now

My favorites are Medieval 2, and the new Warhammer, which I've already sank over 60 hours in. Total War is the shit.

So far only the Vampire Counts. How do you like the Dwarves? I think that's what I'm gonna try next, or Chaos, but I heard they were easy-mode. I also got that blood and gore? expansion, which is pretty awesome, although I think they should have just given that away for free rather than charge.

dwarves are cool. much easier to play than empire for me.
a line of rock hard defensive infantry with a line of heavy artillery behind them.

yeah the thing that annoys the shit out of me with the vampires is the lack of ranged units. I often get owned by dwarven artillery. I have to spam the hell out of my flying troops and lure their units away from the main force to gain any type of control.

Medieval 2 was my favourite, and I have close to 400 hours on empire total war.
I haven't played total warhammer yet because it looks like sega have taken a leaf out of GW's pricing book. The strategy side of it is dumb to. Why do all towns have the same layout, no matter if orky, elf, chaos or imperial? Doesn't make sense to me.
After empire there was shogun 2 and rome 2, which I've both played, but seige warfare in both is dumb, in shogun 2 they just scale the walls, no need for ladders, or battering rams. In rome 2, it's the same story, just send some pesants against the gate and they'll set it on fire, once it's one fire you can run them back to safety and the gates will burst open.

I never got into star craft.
star craft is a pure RTS. total warhammer is a hybrid 4X RTS.
I Enjoy RTS but love 4x games More. the hybrid of total warhammer is superior to either genre on its own IMO at least how it was pulled off in warhammer.
