Best base-building/survival RTS games?

[DeathMetalJedi]

What are the best RTS games where you build up your base over time and defend from baddies etc.

[BaerSLK]

I remember Stronghold 1 was a great build and defend game, it is on Steam as Stronghold HD

[Captain Pentium]

Yeah, all stronghold games have a form of this if I remember correctly, except 3.

Well there is Warhammer 40K the first one.

Then there is Warzone 2100. It is free on its own site.

Then there is Army Men RTS that you can find on GOG.

I mean your goal is to kill the other team. But if you want you can try to see how long you can survive the AI I guess if you want.

I wouldn't exactly consider those kinds of RTSes to be what the OP is looking for though. He could try 'They are Billions'. It's a city builder/survival/RTS mix where you command and build up this town of the last few surviving colonies and defend from waves and waves of zombies.

Same here and I'm normally not into zombies but it's unique and looks fun as all hell. Plus the aesthetics are great too! That's a plus.

I've seen some videos of this game and it looks pretty neat:

Rise of Nations doesn't have that sort of thing from what I remember unless you just build up your base and let the AI come to you.

Mhm, that's pretty much any RTS without a survival and city building mechanic (waves etc etc). So alot of these suggestions people will have will not exactly be what the OP's looking for. It's unfortunately a sort of rare thing to find.

'They are Billions' is one of the best examples anyone could give and, hey, if you like zombies then that's a added plus to the whole sha-bang.

Oh my, sorry. I should of read the title of the post again.

All good man, it happens.

[Qladstone 權鴛石]

To be extremely concrete, I think what OP is looking for is exactly what is presented in the Outbreak mission of Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty campaign. (Search for a Let's Play of that mission online.)

Except, of course, Outbreak is a single mission that lasts for about 20-30 minutes or so and is only one mission, and OP wants an entire game based on that concept and that is expanded to fit it.

Red alert 2

[KriegerKR]

warcraft 3 has a few missions like that, very fun. i assume there are also a lot of custom maps/missions on the internet as well for it.

if you want something in first person, an early access game i was gifted called "Colony Survival" has you build up a base to protect your colonists from a horde of zombies. very basic right now in my opinion but promising and fun

[=CrimsoN=]

Battlezone.

Although it's more of a base building, RTS, FPS and Vehicle combat game all rolled into one and it takes place in space in an alternate Cold War in which the U.S. and U.S.S.R are fighting for control of the Solar System.

A remake was released on Steam with updated visuals and everything.
