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.

"Monk! I need a monk!"

"Woolooloo woolooloo."

"Hey. I'm in your town."

"We will NOT tolerate this behavior."

"Start the game already!"

"All hail, king of the losers."

"I'll beat you back to Age of Empires."

"Sure, blame it on your ISP."

"Don't point that thing at me."

"Long time, no seige."

"Eh. Smite me."

"Quit touchin' me."

"Raiding party."

"The wonder, the wonder, the... no!"

Mobile is undoubtedly the worst. It's unbearable. Hardly even a game.

I've never played the DS game. I might put Age of Empires Online in this spot instead.

It's unfortunate, to me, that 3 ended up this low. It's not my favourite, by a long shot, but it's functional and fun. Which is more than can be said for the DE version of 1. I love the bones of 1, but the DE was terrible. So terrible that they tried releasing it again in the Return to Rome DLC for 2.

Which leaves us with the 3 good games. Being the mod of [email protected], nobody should be surprised that my favourite is Myth. 4 is actually my second favourite, and 2 is only in 3rd place. But Myth still has too many bugs and missing polish features. Even though it's my #1 favourite, if I was asked to list which I think is the best, I'd put it in 3rd.

Mobile isnt Age of Empires. It looks like it, but its just not.
