I haven't played many games like this even though i should! But my favorite is Black and White, it's very easy to choose black (evil) though, you just stop helping your people and let their buildings burn >.<

CIV 5 is very good. Loved the first Rome Total war.

I prefer the 1700's to first half of the 20th century in RTS games.

Just my preference though. A little too much chaotic melee-hand to hand combat/hyper pointing and clicking in earlier time periods.

I have been playing Wargame: Airland battle. It's ok but i like the 'grand battle' scenarios of earlier time periods. The game is set during the Cold war 80's. So it's more about pin point strategy and executing the perfect strategy with very few units.

Solid game though...I enjoy it.

1. XCOM and EU
2. Medieval: Total War 2
3. Civ V (although its actually turn based not real time)

Recently though I've been playing a little indie sleeper called Conquistadors: Expeditions



It's pretty good so far, it reminds me of the early D&D games with lots of story and character driven events. Plus its pretty difficult and has the optional Iron Man mode.

Re: What is your favorite PC strategy/simulation/RTS game of all time?
No quite a RTS, but a game I'm really into right now is called DayZ... It's a free mod for a game called Arma2, which is a very realistic shooter. It uses the huge open world map (takes like 2 hours to run across it on foot), it has land, sea and air vehicles, buildings, natural environment and everything you'd find in a real world shooter in both 1st and 3rd person. The mod places you as a "survivor" who needs to scavenge to survive in a post apocalyptic zombie ridden world. You loot buildings for guns, ammo, tools, etc, find broken down vehicles to repair then sell for currency to buy better weapons, base building tools, food, etc. You gotta eat and drink regularly, bandage yourself if you're bitten, take antibiotics and painkillers if you get infected. It's an awesome mod for an awesome game, which is being made into it's own standalone that's due for release at some point this year... The developers are still supporting the mod with frequent patches as they complete the standalone.

Not sure what qualifies for this, but I used to like playing Flight Simulator on my Timex Sinclair.

It took like 20 fucking minutes to load the program from a tape drive, and if you touched the drive or moved it in anyway, sometimes it would crash and you would have to start over.

It was some pretty fucking primitive graphics, basically blocks, but hey for a 10 year old, it was pretty fun.

Yes it qualifies.

I think simulation games/RTS/turn based strategy games appeal to the same kind of people.

It's like a general category with some sub categories.

Like Non-fiction books are sub categorized into Biography, history etc...

1. Moo 2
2. Civ 5 solid expansions and ease of mods, although 4 was good.
3. Dwarf fortress (the ultimate simulator IMO)
4. Galactic civ 2
5. King of dragon pass
