Hello,

Which game is better?

1. Empire: Total War
2. Napolean: Total War

Also, what other strategy games do you recommend?

Thanks

Starcraft 2 will be out soon , ive played a bit of the beta its fast paced and fun.

 

[aman.pitbull]

I've played empire total war but didn't like it its a turn based strategy.

Try Company of heroes I'll rate it as the best strategy game released after AOEII. Other good strategy games are :

CLOSE COMBAT ALL of them

Command And Conquer all

Age of Mythology + TITANS Expansion

Men Of War

Rise Of Nations

Age Of Empires 1

Age Of Empires 3 + expansions

I've never tried starcraft I'll be trying it pretty soon.

Stronghold. Look no more.

Warcraft III ROC/FT , 'nuf said

+1 for stronghold, AOE2 and 3, Age of mythology, rise of nations, company of heroes.

However, I think the OP wants only one of the 2 games that he has mentioned. He has probably played all of the above mentioned games already. Sorry dude, I havent played either of the games u mentioned. Cant help ya..

Napolean is supposed to be less buggy than Empire, although the campaigns are not as open.

Why nobody mentioning Sid Meyers_pirates.. Is it wrong section.

 

[pr0ing]

since all the regular suggestions are already up there, my only addition is
Civilization 4. with expansions.

a single game can continue for days depending on the settings and how much you like to micro-manage.

Played most of the games above.

I love the Age of Empires series.
Civilization series is also brilliant!

Only haven't played Company of Heroes and Warhammer 40K

 

[jojothedragon]

Then get Warhammer 40k DOW2. Its awesome.

 

[Ov3rLoRd]

Rise of Nations with expansion
Rise of Legends

can remember sleepless nights playing Rise of Nations and AOE.

but Rise of Legends never excite me.

 

[nukeu666]

Just wait for civilization 5...it looks awesome
civ4 and caeser3 in the meanwhile

 

[crossbow]

Defense Grid : The awakening => A Tower Defense Strategy game, Very few titles have come under this genre, something different then usual RTS.

All suggested Ones are super titles.

Age of mythology

Age of mythology:Titan Expansion

Age of Empires III

World in Conflict.

Company of heroes is hands down the best rts ever.

 

[comp@ddict]

Both are great, Napoleon is a newer version, keep in mind very CPU demanding, I played Empire, got hooked in no time

 

[kreacher]

Company of heroes is hands down the best rts ever.

+1
Loved the campaign, was so disappointed that the expansion ignored single player.
Talking about disappointments, Dawn of War 2's single player :no:

 

[atiamd]

You can try Caesar 3..... A pretty old game, but has a nasty habit of surprising the player. Always challenging and a level can be played in 'n' no. of ways....

 

[blackperl]

Age Of Empire 1-2
age of mythology

i still playing AOE since year 2000
