 | Total War: Eras - Shogun, Medieval and Rome (PC)
Buy new: £59.94 / Used from: £24.50 The Total War series represented a revolution in RTS gaming; the campaign map and creation of units outside of battle alongside larger unit organisation represented a major step to realism.
|
 | Medieval II: Total War (PC DVD)
Buy new: £4.84 / Used from: £2.59 Medieval 2 is a continuation of the Total War series; beautiful graphics and the same tried and tested campaign/battle system.
|
 | Ground Control
Buy used from: £3.00 Similar to TW in the sense that Ground Control is a much more intuitively designed approach to the RTS genre with an incredibly enjoyable and replayable campaign.
|
 | Ground Control II Operation Exodus (PC CD)
Buy new: £2.25 Feels nothing like the original Ground Control but still a very good campaign. Introduces the idea of aquisition points as a means to buy in new units, which are flown in. No time wasted building.
|
 | Homeworld (PC)
Buy new: £5.74 / Used from: £1.53 Space Combat, what's not cool about that? Wide range of ships for a massive variation in play style. Very fun.
|
 | Homeworld 2 (PC CD)
Buy new: £4.99 / Used from: £0.99 Sequel of the same high grade. Both these games have immensely fun campaigns and skirmish features.
|
 | Dawn of War: Anthology (PC DVD)
Buy new: £10.19 / Used from: £6.99 Dawn of War, again using aquisition rather than mined resources. Very enjoyable game that has a wealth of background from the 40k Universe.
|
 | Star Wars: Empire At War (PC DVD)
Buy new: £6.50 / Used from: £4.47 Total War, spread over a Galaxy, with space combat thrown in. What's not to love? Very fun campaign along with a wide variety of plausible play styles and pretty graphics.
|
 | Star Wars: Empire at War Forces of Corruption - Expansion Pack (PC DVD)
Buy new: £12.80 / Used from: £6.98 Expansion for the game which also adds a new "race", along with suicide Ewoks. Possibly not the most tactful approach, but also very fun.
|
 | Starcraft/Broodwar Expansion Pack (PC DVD)
Buy new: £6.32 / Used from: £3.80 The game that first got me into RTS. Yes, it's dated but hell it's still masses of fun.
