Act of Aggression came out recently, and you've got AI Wars from a few years ago - I believe they've got a new RTS out soon as well. Supreme Commander and its sequel were proper RTS and still fantastic even if they are a bit older now.
Then you've got a new Anno game last year, Cities Skylines, Age of Empires got a re-release on Steam, and if you can find a copy Settlers II 10th Anniversary Edition completely reimplemented the original with modern graphics and UI.
If anything digital distribution and crowd funding is bringing about a resurgence of all those genres big publishers shunned.
- frik 11y agoI know. See my comment below: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10640337 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10640337 I played all of them. The Total Annihilation series is a niche sub-genre. Anno 2070 just come out this month but has little in common with the old Anno 1602 or Anno 1404. The AoE "HD" releases were a quick buck for Microsoft and get boring again a few hours later (when you own also the original versions). What the world needs are new RTS games inspired by AoE/EmpireEarth/C&C with a good singleplayer campaign and random maps with good offline KI that can play various game-modes. That's why 0 A.D. is so great!
