i dunno about 'old' but yeah i like Strategy games

Company Of Heroes-Def one of the most thrilling strategy game .... There is never a boring minute ... Gameplay is a bit different from the other strategy games

Command and Conquer series - I have played pretty much all of their titles def a good one

Age of Empires - Another good RTS game

Lord Of the rings - Another enjoyable rts game

My favorite strategy game is Dawn Of War. I found it very addictive. Also it has got a great multiplayer. COH which is another great RTS, uses the same game engine as DOW. Custom mods are also pretty common with DOW.

Have any of you people tried Zeus-Master of Olympus, Ceaser and CivCity?
They all are equally good in comparison with AOE.
Zeus is Top class. Focusses less on Military and war thing and More on our city development. Really miss this game

i loved playing commandos ... its the most thrilling game i have played ( at that time) Age of Empires problem for me was i knew how to edit that configuration file so i edited it and made the rockets fire at 0.1 sec/shot so & many other things like this so once i edited it i lost interest in it..

Yeah many of my friends lost interest in AOE after Using the cheat codes. Once cheat in enabled there is nothing in the game at all

ya AOE has a very low security for the game .... they just have kept every control in just 1 file so once you know which file it is then ... its your world......! i had made my rockets go in to water also.... it was very interesting to change the default settings but not to play ....! LOL....

I think when it comes to strategy games Dawn of War is great. Its the best strategy game ever, in my opinion and is sort of addictive.

I also enjoyed :-

Black And White 2
Company of Heroes
Supreme Commander
LOTR
C&C Generals
C&C Kanes Wrath

Old strategies .... AOEI & II, Warcraft, Starcraft are very fun to play. But back then multiplayer was totaly impossible through dial up internet ... lan modes made far more sense.

Another great strately is Red Alert 2. Its about World War III ... which was shown to be fought with all sorts of weired tecnologies.

WARCRAFT IS NOT A NEW STRATEGY... Wake up.

I dont like turn based strategies like Civ IV, Rome Total War... takes too much patience... and gameplay is far too slow

Yes I liked Zeus and Caesar... it was the first Strategy game I played which focused on more than just war. Building big cities, producing and trading goods, keeping people happy, provide protection and lots of other stuff were involved in the game. However it gets boaring after a while.
