Good strategy games similar to this one?
While playing this i noticed something about my preferences.
I realy like strategy games but not so much in multiplayer
Diplomacy etc is something i dont realy like
Symetrical games vs the Ai are something i can,t enjoy much...the Ai will always be inferior to the player and therefor will reseort to obvious cheating.Therefore i like asymetrical pve strategy games without linear narrative that harms replayability most
Do you know any good ones?TAB is great and certainly one game of that kind...hoever it is kinda barebones right now.There isnt enough variety right now(core and potential are amazing though)

Asymetrical=both sides play by very different rules.Racial modifiers arent enough for that to be considered asymetrical
TAB is asymetrical:player and computer play with 2 completely different rulesets.

Dawn of war: Dark Crusade campaign on hard would be one i think. You have limits in units and buildings. The enemy does not and can spam turrets even for factions that cant build turrets lol. You'll also will always be fighting more than 1 bot commander for every sector thats above average in strength when you invade them.

Ps playing the tau faction is torture since they dont have turrets and you really need those to lighten the weight of being invaded by an enemy.

Very asymetrical I dont know, but simple asymetrical with different tactic and weapon, you have command and conquer general by exemple. Usa have sattelite weapon, chineses massive army, etc

KKND was a gem in its day. Easily better then the more popular C&C series. Sadly its probably a bit too dated for most people to enjoy these days.

You seem to own most of the best strategy games around so there is very little left to reccomend hah.


Starcraft 2 - is one the most famousd asymmeterical RTS around.

Company of Heroes 2 - Has a lot more mechanics than the first in the franchise

Divinity Original Sin 2 - Not an RTS but great strategy game, I saw you own the first.

Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion ( Newest one ) - really great RTS that deals with massive fleets.

Warhammer 40k Dawn of War 2 - Similar to Sins but you deal with very small team.
( The 3rd one is trash )

Endless Legend - Very atypical stratgey game. Has a lot of great ideas implemented such as seasons and special events. Very few units per race though - but you are more busy with deciding how to win than fighting.

Total War : Warhammer 2 - again a fantastic game dealing with massive army battles.

Sin of a Sollar Empire Rebellion would be the closest to what hes after. you set a large star system, toss in 8 bots and its quite the glorious mess. Plus the mods are insane. Can go full star wars or star trek conversions. Fun game.

AI War: Fleet Command comes to mind.
A bit older but very asymetrical.
And a sequel is currently being made.

Already know that great game

Rise to Ruins is similar in many ways and a great game. It's got the same defend the base, clear the map, expand the colony gameplay, but with a more tower defense / simulator style genre instead of RTS. I'd recommend checking it out.

There are a lot of really good custom maps in a similar vein in SC2.

Company of heroes 1 is > 2 imo, but that's just me.

Op try these guys

Majesty
Starwars battlegrounds
Tzar burden of the crown
Homeworld
Mount and blade
Alpha centauri

Also mentioned, command and conquer / total war

They are good games that will scratch the rts / strategy itch.

Most of these can be found on either steam or gog, I would recommend both checking gog first as well as their rts section, just because they are drm free and that makes playing games solo / offline easier, also some of these are a bit older, so gog is better at finding those type of games.

Not to knock steam of course, cause steam, but ya sound like you want a single player strategy game to munch on :D.


- cheers

The game is almost a complete clone of Emipre Builder 2 from the SC2 Arcade. If you want They Are Billions but with more features and customization, as well as multiplayer, that's the game for you.

SC2 is free to grab now and Empire Builder 2 still sees a decent amount of play.
