Do you like the Total War series? Total War: Shogun 2 and Medieval II Total War are really good.

Medieval II crashes on my Windows 10 machines for some reason but I clocked up so many hours.
Shogun 2, I skipped because apparently the empire building side was lessened, Medieval had lots of dynamics. Though I might be wrong.

No C&C Generals? WTF?

I haven't been able to make it work on my Windows 10 machine. Generals was my all time favorite C&C game and right up there as one of my favorite RTS games.
I was really disappointed when they canceled Generals 2.
-
That being said C&C Red Alert 3 was very good. C&C Tiberium Wars and Tiberium Twilight were decent but really odd.

If you are interested in city building games. Check out the Tropico and Cities series. The latest Cities game is really good. But Tropico 4 is better then Tropico 5. The Anno series is ok but I've only played the most recent Sci-fi one.
I really enjoy Tropico. Especially Tropico 4.

I still haven't beaten anything but Tropico 3. I need to invest some time in it but I think I was stuck at a popular uprising mission in Tropico 4.

T3 was good, but T4 was a good improvement. I need to sit down and invest some time in T5.

I wanna get Red Alert 2 working again. Generals was not as good as RA 2 as something new, but still a really good one.

I never really liked Red Alert 2. I liked the story and upgrade system behind Generals a lot more. Especially when Zero Hour came out and introduced a ton of new units.

I liked that they gave all 3 factions a way of printing money in the late game.
US supply drops
Chinese hackers
GLA, black markets -

GLA, black marketsYep, that was a really fun feature. Plus the General abilities. I loved calling in air strikes and suicide bombers.

Company of Heroes I love as a game, It's how Zero Hour should have been (I don't play 2 just 1) because it takes the best of Zero Hour but gives each unit real stopping power.

I haven't played Company of Heroes in a long time. Was the original squad based like Company of Heroes 2 was or am I thinking of a different game?
-
I would not call either squad based. Squad based is more like XCOM. I call them control groups in an RTS, where you can blob key units.

Ok. I must be thinking of a different game. If you look at Dawn of War 2 you'll see that it is Squad based. That's what I mean.
-
Yeah never played it. I prefer something a little more bombastic.
Like a weather control device or a nuclear missile.
