Welcome back, commander. Good welcome, soldiers.

Welcome to the RTS HQ, here you will be briefed and brought up to date with news on the RTS world. Feel free to hang out in the lobby, meet new friends, discuss news, strategies, even reminisce the past by discussing beloved classic RTS games.

Travel the world of Red Alert, relive the tiberium wars, fight the burning legion in Warcraft, defend the koprulu sector in Starcraft, collect the spice in Dune and more.

You are in control of the chess board commander. Use it well.

Good hunting.

And remember,

“He commands the future, conquers the past.” -The Messiah

Rules.

  1. Memes welcome but keep it to a minimum
  2. Keep this SFW
  3. Respect others
  4. Be kind always

As soldiers and commanders, we are expected to be in our best behavior, but we are also allowed to kick back and relax.

A fitting gameplay for a lawless terrorist. Mengsk will pay but the galaxy is too scared to rebel. Well, Raynor Raiders got your back :)

Twisted insurrection is a true labor of love. If this were set in Tibarium Wars world, maybe the franchise would have a taken a darker yet more intriguing and creative turn.

If only the actual reforged campaigns are like this. Amazing how a fan made remake is better than Blizzard’s official one

Apologies if it doesn't fit RTS genre very well. If so, please delete the thread, no explanations needed.

According to Jez Corden, a journalist at Windows Central, Starcraft 3 is now in development. It's not clear how reliable he is.

I find it sad that there seems to be no new games in the RTS genre. Maybe I’m just not looking hard enough. Or there’s not a lot of news coverage. That said, there are some RTS games to be released soon.

And maybe we should be optimistic towards that. At this stage, is replaying, remastering and modding old games really the most we can do?

I feel like there’s a lot of valid criticisms here. But maybe it’s not doom and gloom. Game devs have to balance difficulty and engagement to draw in players as well as a decent monetization strategy that doesn’t involve microtransactions.

One I always come back to is Planetary Annihilation.
Never felt like it really got off the ground, or maybe that's as good as the precursors got too. But dang it I still find it fun to run through a little campaign thing, despite it getting super unbalanced in your favor as soon as you knock at one of the first 'bosses'. Suprised that they're still updating and maintaining it, even to the point of adding mods in as 'official' content.

How can you go wrong with smashing planets into each other or just straight up death-staring your emeny into dust motes?

And then they were going to make Human Resources, which looked like wicked good fun. Perhaps in some alternate universe that panned out...

Any games you guys have that feel that way to you?

Underrated, but a golden piece of media that must always be shared and remembered.

With satellites and stations already in place, the Premier would be sorely disappointed.

Husky is restarting his starcraft channel. But question still remains, what happened to him? We are left with questions and speculations.
