everyone just looking for that one game they played as a kid
no
😭
More like those 20 games I played.
Yes, nerd.
Dude, you only played one game as a kid? :D
Starcraft
Warcraft, starcraft, aoe2, aom, stronghold.... They're so amazing that even after 50 years you'll find people playing them.
Paulius Teresa Also lord of the ring, it was amazing.
Empire Earth 1 or 2 too.
Still playing them today.
CnC?? :(
@@GunsZaloDz Yeah, the Community is still alive and I feel happy bout it😭
The Series after the CNC General is somewhat not winnin the heart, yes it's good in Graphics and bla bla bla, but like something is missing. The feeling. The CNC Generals and the Red Alert gang is the way to go, and I hope they remake this old Masterpieces.
I can see why Starcraft and Age of Empires became so well known. Compared to the same games that came out around that time, they look way more put together. Smoother animations, clearer what's going on - at least compared to the games of the same time period.
Age of Empires II is literally ageless. After 22 years, it still manages to be relevant. Quite incredible.
@Wiegraf Never irrelevant. There was always a healthy community and multiplayer base even without support from Microsoft or Ensemble or anything.
@Wiegraf On that note, idiots outnumber geniuses. Fact.
@Wiegraf Nice copy-paste
@@NomanJohan "idiots outnumber geniuses" - agree, but calling someone an idiot just because of diferent gameplay preference is not so smart either
"Age of Empires II is literally ageless" - fully agree, but sadly thats also the cancer of the RTS games industrie, seems that realy few new RTS are realesed because of that
@@andchaos1 The more logical reason is people prefer to stare at Tiktok videos than books. Tiktok must be better than books.
the quality of age of empires 2 for 1999 is huge compared to the other games from this same time and genre
THE GAME
I hope they will take inspiration from AOE2 and understand why this is the best, to make the fourth
@Tattle Boadno man, I got a problem with fantasy game
Starcraft, Total Annihilation, 1998 Battlezone, C&C Red Alert 2. AoE2 was a quality game for its time, obviously, but nothing huge about it.
Uh, maybe you should try playing some games from 1999 if you're making such ridiculous sweeping statement.
C&C, Starcraft, Total Annihilation, Supreme Commander, Homeworld, and Age of Empires
Best games
Maybe to you. But don't forget Knights & Merchants, easily the most advanced game in this list.
Don't forget about Stronghold Crusader, it was ahead of it's time!
Battle Realm
3 games i played that i didn’t find on your list:
-Total Annihilation Kingdoms (1999): you mentionned TA, but not this one (last game from Cavedog)
-Sacrifice (2000), a 3rd person RTS game
-Metal Fatigue (2000) is a mech-type game, where you can build mechs, and vehicles. Battles can happen on ground, underground, and in the sky. Truly awesome !
Battle Realms is an underrated RTS... it brought some innovation not seen by its peer. It allows some units especially the range units to have 2 attacks.. like a archer will fire arrow at a distance but will switch to hitting the enemies using the bow and kicks when engaged at a melee distance. And the archers actually fire the arrows in a arc.. especially in a long distance.
haha warlock spam go brrrrrrrrrr
@@verdessence the graphic is smooth,it doesnt feel like rigid but it needs atleast 10-15 clan more to survive in todays world
Total war medieval 2 + Age of Empire 2 & 3 + Red Alert 1&2 = Nostalgia
I´m still playing Medieval II Total war. Such a great game!
Still playing AOE2 and AOE3
Also my favs, but I'd also include TW Rome & Settlers 2
LOTR: Battle for the middle earth was such a good game!
++++
@@TCuestaMan Have you heard of BFME: Reforged ?
I found that a real shitty game tbh.
RTS games that force you to build in 1 specific pre determined spot are lame... so thats BFME halo wars 1+2 and that crappy starwars one
@@hyperkaioken4982 it doesnt forece you to build in one spot? not 2 anyways
Awesome list, here are a few more good ones missing.
- Enemy Nations (1997)
- War Wind 2: Human Onslaught (1997)
- Heroes of Annihilated Empires (2006)
Warcraft 3, AOE 2, Red Alert 2 and Battle Realms easily the best for me.
Dark Colony (1997)
damn red alert 2 i played that ge when i was 7-8 lol the first pc game i played aswell
Red alert 2 is a gem
oh jaeh Enemy Nations was huge
2:40 "We've advanced a tech level!"
Man I loved that game.
I don't think soooo...
@@user-qk6lw3yp4j Si si why not!
Missing a couple games:
- Dark Colony
- Close Combat (series)
- Outlive
- Mech Commander (series)
- Total Annihilation: Kingdoms
- Total War Medieval (series)
Also, as pointed out by others, Rise of Nations isn't from 2014 and Earth 2150 vid is clearly Earth 2160...
But great vid, anyway. RTS is the most fun of game genres :)
I'd like to see an "Evolution of TURN BASED STRATEGY Games 19XX - 2020"
(and, if you ever do, don't you dare forget Mission Force: Cyberstorm!)
Medieval Total War series you mean. Only newbies place the Total War title at the beginning
@@solinvictus4367 Was missing also A.R.S.E.N.A.L. Taste The Power and A.R.S.E.N.A.L. Extended Power
I am considering doing.
@@SergiuHellDragoonHQ If you will do this evoluition,please,add this games thither:Paradise Cracked(2002),COPS 2170:Power of Law(2004),Etherlords(2001-2003) and Space Rangers(2002-2004),and Operation Silent Storm(2003-2004) series.With best wishes,thanks anyway)

I rember playing rome total war. It were the greatest moments when you unlocked a new factions!
Yes. Now you have to BUY them...
I never played this game since damn error
I never played until some months ago (i have weak pc) its just amazing if u consider the year it was made
Picked up medieval 2 recently and i love it
You had to unlock them? I just edited this TXT file that unlocked all the factions including the rebels LOL
Total Annihilation is simply out of its times, its concept, scale, ability to mod are just rocket science in stone age.
Well, it's easy to see how RTS became really interesting and intuitive in early 90s and intensively evolved until 2010. After that strategy games became online, free to play or remasters. Rare strategy series are still a thing.
no, i'm not crying, i got nuke in my eye
Care for a scud instead? 😁
Was it Ghandi's nuke?
I don't think there would be anything to make tears with if you got a nuke in your eye.
GHANDI NO!
Nuclear launch detected!
Gimme C&C Zero Hour (skirmish) with 2020 graphics and I'll be a happy man.
Warcraft,Rise of Nations,LOTR battle for middle earth,Command and Conquer Generals,Company of Heroes,and Battle realms are my favorite strategy games and the only strategy games i've played
Z isn't included though it's one of the most underrated RTS
yea "Z" was classic
12:52 Farming woods at the beginning
Completely triggered
🤣🤣🤣
STFU you pointy eared hippy. FOR THE HORDE!
@@thrdeye7304 ae
0:32 whoa, Cosmic Conquest looks lit!
Yes
C&C truly is the best definition of what RTS is
Thank you, I was able to find an old game again, after having looked through a list of hundred alike games haha.
Awesome video. Sure felt good to see Age of Mythology again. Or how much of a graphical upgrade Command and Conquer has been back than. Sideote: Games that I've missed in that list: Z, Anno-Series, KKND, 2 Ground Control 2
KKND wsas fantastic!
Man, ground control 2 was rad. Real neat baseless RTS.
This is probably the best time possible to launch an Age of Mythology 2... Or just a remaster.
Microsoft pls >:^(
Dudeeeee, thank you so much i was looking for KKND for so long but just couldnt remember the name I was so young back then 7-9 years old. Thx bro my search is over!!
Мое знакомство с играми началось с Age of Empires, уже прошло много времени, а я до сих пор испытываю к ней теплые чувства)
Great video! showing game play as fast as possible helped me decide which RTS to play.
Nah. Not at all. Video is not that good, since it's just a compilation, some of those videos were edited, author of video never played some of them, made wrong timestamps, also fast forward for "Herzog Zwei" masterpiece and some others, which spoiled sounds and music.. So nah, not great video at all, just a compilation.
Respect for this video!!! Well done with even the old games in there. For me it started probably with Dune and Dune 2.
I absolutly loved Dune 2, The game is realy satysfying and a lot of fun to play. Was the first Dune also a RTS? i was sure it was more a adventure game, i remember only flying in the desert and talking to people to make them farming spice for our fraction or something like that, but i think never finished it, maybe there was something more with RTS elements later on.
Nah. And what means "even"? Those "old games" are the most important and still superior to any newer ones. It's not evolution, but degradation since the 90s. Also video is not that good, since it's just a compilation, some of those videos were edited, author of video never played some of them, made wrong timestamps. So nah.
Did you seriously skip Medieval 2 Total War? That was probably the best total war on the old game engine
yup they said it was shit
Total war is TBS turn based strategy, and RBT real time tactics. More disappointed they didn't include the AOE series....
@@vikingraven4758 I includd the AoE series
@@SergiuHellDragoonHQ
Huh. Didn't see it. Odd.
@@vikingraven4758 then why did he include rome total war then?
I remember first time seeing that arcade game called Phoenix back in the early 80s at a local arcade. I saw those stars go up on their own, and I was completely mesmerized by that animation back then. That's kind of what got me into the gaming thing.
14:02 Played many of these games especially all of the Age of Empire games but Praetorians is so underrated. This game was fast-paced and tactical. There is nothing quite like it on this list.
Because of community difference
Aoe and stronghold community are bigger
Now I will also check this game never heard of this❤
3:00 although I never played it myself, Dune 2 (not a sequal to Dune) is the underrated, forgotten grandfather that laid the foundation of literally all RTS design decisions we know and love today and even the success of WoW can be traced back to Warcraft which took Dune 2's design.
I like how Command and Conquer (1995) was the first RTS game to be exciting. Also, I am impressed with Age of Empires II's remake and so that game will be played. Stronghold Warlords will be played next year.
I noticed KKnD (Krush Kill n Destroy) and Medieval II Total War aren't in the vid !
I know, actually I am playing KKnD 2 right now for I don't know how many times and I love it! Sad it wasn't shown on this video :'(
kknd was legend played months at ps1
dark colony is also missing
you did a good job, keep it up :)
Great video! I miss Syndicate, Anno 1602, Patrician, Commandos, Caesar, Mount & Blade
. They were also great real time strategy games
I can't stop playing Caesar 3 what an incredible game
I like how the gameplay isn't focused around combat or war
You can stay there peacefully taking care of your city and managing industry
But then, if you take too long, your population becomes too old and labor shortage =O
Nah. Not at all. Video is not that good, since it's just a compilation, some of those videos were edited, author of video never played some of them, made wrong timestamps, also fast forward for "Herzog Zwei" masterpiece and some others, which spoiled sounds and music.. So nah.
Yes, Syndicate is one of the greatest games of all time for sure.
Games like Patrician are not just RTS, they are partially TBS. If so, then KOEI Masterpiece must be included. Mount & Blade
was inspired by KOEI classics, btw.
Total Annihilation (1997) is best !!
Sure! :-)
Agreed sir
I still play it all the time.....
Glad you mentioned Universe at war( It is such a great and underrated game), also Command and conquer are 2 games of my childhood
thanks for video, great work
DUDE YOU'R GREAT I"V BEEN LOOKING FOR MAGIC AND MAYHEM IN MY MIND FOR YEARS NOW THANK YOU
13:20 Age of Mythology the game from my childhood
Also this is the titans expansion
Classic a remaster would be awsome but won't happen
@@yeahman9813 AOM EE on steam
@@yeahman9813 No one needs shitty remasters, except feeble-minded fools.
8:12 Machines, one of the best and most underrated games ever... Thanks for having included it. I mean there is a lot of games I love here (aoe, aom,warcraft 3, lotr bfme, etc...) but this one was quite innovating and fun for a game released in 1999!
Absolutely! Still play it - and have fun!
I had this game together with Turok 2 on the same CD. It was a gift from a dealer of my very 1st PC back in 2000
@@gamingtonight1526 it's been a hell to run it on the latest OS though. There's a team working on their free time on a modern version of the game, but I don't know if the project is still active
I really wish that Sierra was around and Remastered the original Empire Earth, best rts for me.
Same for me xD
AOE trilogy is the best for me. But Empire Earth has special place in my heart. Since it was my first big game that I played
@@fourclawrider Hope some company take risks and does what you've just said. Unfortunately, the RTS genre seems to be a dead Genre nowadays.
@@TheCrossingShadows not dead just kids grow up to play fortnite or used by their parents to play the popular games
it's good to know that there were big different quality games in the same year xD
Stronghold crusader and Warcraft 3, I still play them now, what a beautiful and good games.
The C&C Generals part is actually its expansion, Zero Hour :p
He did the same with AoM Titans
Generals was the best C&C in terms of gameplay, Red Alert 2 and YR were the peak of C&C, then... EA happened.
@@tanostrelok2323 I'm with you with the "EA killed C&C", but they did made Generals ZH, Tiberium War KW. I think both theses are amazing. Maybe they lost something along the way, whatever it is.
@@sporeboiz7074 Generals was a good game, and it's still alive thanks to mods, but let's face it, its story is dogshit, it lacks a good campaign compared to Red Alert, damn even the installation was a piece of art.
Something happened along the way, that's for sure, I remember some fun EA games from the 90s, what happened next it's up to debate.
@@tanostrelok2323 Generals story isnt dogshit. Only immature think like that
Starting playing dune 2000 again the past year and loving it all over!
Oh wow,thanks to this brilliant and outstanding video,in which the author(s) had scrupulously collected and combined a whole lot of good old strategy games,i've managed to FINALLY discover the game i remembered since decades ago but just wasn't able to recall it's name or find it in various game compilations on the Web..Phenomenal job!A big fat like in addition to lots of gamer sympathy,cheers!:)
I can say games from 2004 to 2005 developed very fast , you can see Lord of the rings, Company of heroes and many other games from 2005 still looks good!
AOE 3?
@@raffitechh have't played it
They also play good

It's a good thing we borrowed all those words from French centuries ago.
Borrowed? Your French overlords forced you to learn them.
@@thecandlemaker1329 Nothing like a good old Norman conquest to end the Viking age.

As someone pointed out: missing KKND, Close Combat series and I would add Myth: The Fallen Lords., Reunion, Theme Park/Hospital, K240 (RTS for Amiga) - PC clone - Fragile Allegiance (1996). There's a lot more, but it depends what is strategy in your opinion. Anyway great vid.
same here... KKND was so awesome
Yes, Myth: The Fallen Lords.. surprised it wasn't here. Was named Strategy game of the year and for 1997 it was pretty advanced. Also it put Bungie on the map
I was waiting to see KKND in this video
man!!! you are the best!! i found an old strategy game!!! omg!!! thanks!!!
C&C Generals was my jam.
2009 - 2020
11 years legacy and still continue to play this amazing game with tons of other mods like Shockwave, Rise of The Red, Contra, etc.
Jeese, I just realized Sins of a Solar Empire is over ten years old now, and Ironclad still occasionally puts out content for it. And it is still really pretty. And it's still wicked fun.
Me too. Such an awesome game but it will be more awesome if it has a campaign/story mode.
Sacrifice, my boys. Great strategy game, entirely unique.
Happy to see people understand.
5:40 The beginning of a great franchise that continues to be talked about to this day.
And my favorite video game saga. 😎😎
Some titles here are seriously underrated, like Majesty, Seven Kingdoms and Warzone 2100. They were amazingly unique instead of AoE/C&C/WarCraft reskins.
Love Warzone 2100. Need a remaster of that!
Command & Conquer Series / Dune 2000 / Supreme Commander / Halo Wars. My favorite strategy game ✊🏼
Be One With Yuri 🤲🏻🧠🤲🏻
thank you so much !😍
Oh my God! I found MAJESTY! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!
Nothing beats age of empires!
Umh... maybe Starcraft. Besides AoE is so damn good
sorry i think red alert 2 is better .....
kirvo reporting
Age of Empires 2 was the best. But they only show part 3 here :(
@@sjoerdvelzen8255 uhmm aoe 2 was in this video , you need to watch full the video
try War Selection its still in beta but it gives you the OG chill vibes

Command & Conquer will always become my favourite😊
Same goes to RA series, Generals and C&C series.
I also love Starcraft😀
Excellent work!
Fire Department series are missing. They are awesome.
I must give a mention to 0 A.D, but its age is hard to say because it's constantly updated through the years.

great memories from dune, c&c, warcraft, starcraft, stronghold... i missed all Civilizations series, Commandos and Black or White games, all very good games though.
EARTH 2140!! Honestly, after 20 years I found the name of this game! This game haunted me ,I played to it so much !!
I'm so happy :') ✨🔥
I played it also a lot,still have a disc of this game somewhere in house^^
While writing comment remembered another old and not very famous game - Submarine Titans.
2012: Just imagine how good graphics will be in 2017!
2017:
are you complaining rusted warfare or something
its not only about graphics. great example is creeper world 3, or particle fleet: emergence. Mechanics and good ideas are much stronger then graphics.
LOVE that u got in TZAR, one of the best games of old time :D
Great list of games. Played C&C a lot. I did not see KKnD for 1998 here.
Thanks for the memories
Such a wonderful genre, sad to see it declining.
Understandable sentiment 4 years ago.
Now tho, I think good things will come this decade 😀
@@BroockleI still prefer these masterpiece for now
Until something like them come
Stronghold warlords actually looks promising
Great collection brought me back and I've seen some games I missed out on ,their is a few more I've played that u have missed ....Vikings conquest ,power monger ,centurion ,rise of nations ,their is so many strategy games I will add
Age of mythology was my first rts game ive ever played that game has a special place in my heart
Time between 2000-2010 were golden ages of strategy gaming. Today they turned strategy into hack and slash.
More like 1997 - 2001/02. After that period RTS games started to decline. Rapidly. With few exceptions, like Rise of Nations and Forged Alliance, there is not much to remember after 2002.
true but did u try: they are billions? its great again.

Love this game !
Im currently playing Settler 3 (history edition). Last played when I had hair a long time ago. That and Starcraft (1&2) have made a happy teddy bear.
I missed: Total Annihilation Kingdoms, Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends, Swarm Assault, Anno, Sumbarine Titans, Supreme Commande Forged Alliance, Star Trek Armada. But you got all the great deals that defined the Strategy genre. Thumbs up !
Haegmonia: Legions of Iron was far ahead of its time. How is it not here?
Oh ... Homeworld
I love you, I was looking for Warzone 2100, thanks!!
Ah good old stronghold... I had this video running in the background while doing smth else but when that tune came up I immediately knew which game it was... so epic
Dune 2 is amazing, really want them to make a new one.
I love that they took Battle Realms into this list, great game with a unit education system rather than production! ;-)
sad they missed ground control wich got released in 2000 ;-)
finally my Knights and Merchants
. the best memory game.
i was very surprised to see a lot of less popular games on this list that i used to play as a kid.
Brings me a lot of memories and a few forgotten gems, but where is Z by Bitmap Brothers? Not a classic RTS, but still a real-time, unique, and for me one of the best!
Myth series is missing :p! Loved Total Annihilation, Stronghold and Command and Conquer Generals
Im so happy to see Planetary annihilations FOR ONCE in someone review
3:00 Dune 2, the grandfather of Real-Time-Strategy, and the older sibling to Command and Conquer.
Fun fact: the engine of Dune 2 was called "Command and Conquer engine", and was used all the way up until Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge. The "players" are even called Houses!
Also, Act on Instinct 3:40
How can you be so narrow-minded to cal great "Dune 2" grandfather of RTS, while there are older and some even greater game right in front of your nose? Damn, some people ar etruly incredibly stupid and blind.
Sometimes, i am still playing RA2, 21 years passed. Oh I am getting old
Populous: The Beginning 1998-1999, Myth III: The Wolf Age 1997... Many things not. Strange top.
Myth III 1997? Rather Myth the Fallen Lords ;)
Ok I spoke way to soon! I remember so many of theses, even though I only played the demo version I got free with a cd I got in a monthly magazine.
