    -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 !

    @Anon-cv7ru 3 года назад +18

    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.

    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.

      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.
