Game suggestion

No not building one, playing one. Having just finished StarCraft II for the 2nd time and enjoyed the MS Age of Empires I'm looking for similar games. Gather the resources and beat the crap out of the enemy type games. I'm not interested in playing online, quite happy playing the single user mode. Any suggestions are welcome!

One that you probably dont know and probably not even heared about is Original War. Product of small bohemian studio. It is original in means of gathering resources. Its pretty old but I enjoyed it every time and returning to it from time to time. Still have it. :) story is great and really hard to acomplish everything in hard dificulty (people are limited resources and veterans are much better than rookies). From more recent games: I played Endless Space and found it,s fine 4X game but not for me eventually.

Definitely Total Annihilation. And waiting for the upcomming Planetary Annihilation.
Played this many years ago - probably closer to the C&C games than AoE though. iirc it didn't run under XP so probably not under Win7 either. Having said that the C&C/ Red Alert games probably set the benchmark and can be picked up at bargain prices now.

I know its not an RTS, but you should definitely check out Minecraft

In that vein, there is a highly addictive and very complex game I enjoy a lot called Dwarf Fortress.

If you liked Age of Empires, and you are a coder: Have you ever tried making your own AI files? Its a very simple rules based scripting language and you will even find a AI user manual on the program disc. We make our own AIs and then battle them against each other to see who can make the toughest AI. All of our AIs and way harder to beat than the simplistic AI that comes with the game. Actually, the AI files are for Age of Empires II: Age of Kings, or the Conquerors Expansion Ping me back if you are interested. Its a lot of fun, and addictive.

Part of the reason I don't play online is that it requires a level of dedication I cannot give, I will not play any game for many months and then start looking around for something to play. Thanks for the offer but I'll pass.

Site has broken links everywhere (or my net nazi intervened) and the graphics look like something out of the 80s, not my style I'm afraid.

Hah that reminds me I have not checked out C&C for a year or more, I wonder if there is a new release there. Thank you.
