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.

Memes welcome but keep it to a minimum
Keep this SFW
Respect others
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.

Populous: the beginning - I'm not sure whether it's 100% RTS, but the game was sweet back when it was still new. One of first "you're god" video games series. (www.youtube.com)

Ha, I'm happy to see another oldschool RTS' aficionado. Truth be told, I wasn't sure which game to post today, Populous, Megalomania or Black & White. 😆

As for the question - I'm not competent enough to answer it. On the one hand, B&W wasn't named a successor of Populous. On the other, there ARE some similarities. I guess that games akin to Worldbox seem more like successors to Populous.
