...And I was the guy that played the turned based Lords of the Realm II for some reason.
Anyway, Starcraft 2 is still pretty active on the casual side, and with the new expansion coming out later this year (already in public, but not open, beta) it will surely drive a flock of new players. On the note of Supreme Commander, one of the top players of that game has been a Starcraft 2 pro since beta (TheLittleOne, aka TLO).
- ricardobeat 14y agoHey, I played - along with my father - LOTR II too, it was nice :) I still have some memory of the soundtrack and effects, maybe the best part of that title. I still miss something like Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines, that was a surprisingly great game.
- steve8918 14y agoI have to say that I do prefer RTS, my first one being Ancient Art of War waaaaay back :) However, I did get in my share of turn-based games. I remember when I first played Civilization, it was over Christmas break during college, and I didn't go home because it was too expensive. I ended up playing Civ for 3 days straight, and my Christmas dinner was toast, 6 boiled eggs and peanuts... whatever I could rustle up quickly without taking too much time away from the game.
- meric 14y agoI remember playing Lords of the Realm 1 on a Win3.1 laptop my aunt gave me in 2004. The combination of RTS and TBS is awesome. Today I am into the Total War series, the latest being Shogun 2. I love Starcraft 2 as well, and play it occasionally. In Starcraft however you're forever stuck in skirmish mode; there's no possibility of conquering a whole country in a very long campaign like in Total War or Lords of the Realm, and developing your nation into an economic powerhouse on the way there.
