щас быв топ 30 олд стратегий не вставить игру "Казаки"
I would add Cossacks to this list. Very good strategy for its time.
Well American Conquest is basically sequel.
Tzar is an incredibly underrated piece of gem who not many had the chance to play! A one of a kind. People who played it only know
What was great about it?
with ZERO AI ? xD
It was a Czech game right ? the Czechs created soo many underrated masterpieces in gaming
@@miroslavraven1413 Like?
It was developed by a Bulgarian studio, not Czech @@miroslavraven1413

thanks
Omg Battle Realms and Seven Kingdoms II, was trying to remember those 2 games!
Thank you SO MUCH for this gem of a video!
it's surprising to not see Stronghold: Crusader and C&C Red Alert 1- 2 in the list.
Yeah, i ddin't see my Stronghold Crusader, so it is a dislike for me.
It is in my top 5 strategy game and that isn't in his top 30, wtf :/
Man this game not in my top 5, it is my all list from 1 to 100, true legend, hope to remake it like stronghold definitive@@cyanalvein8993
So many memories. You got some real great gems in here.
no Blitzkrieg, no Knights&Merchants?
Still playing KaM 😁👌
@@DominikBruehl 💀
And Age of Mythology, Sudden strike, Takeda
No cossacs and stronghold
I liked KaM but hated the traffic jams in front of my warehouse.
Knights and Merchants definitely deserves to be there!
I would even put in in top 5
@@gemgreg Damn right. There was/is nothing else quite like it.
I agree. Many people still play KaM_Remake to this day. I'm one of them.
@@246vili i often come back to just play the campaign, childhood treasure! Hell, even beast & bumpkins (1997)
American Conquest is the first strategy game I ever played and is what got me into the strategy/Total War games I love today. What a classic.
Dune 2 was the first RTS I ever played .
Yes I am that old
blitzkreig should be on this list
@D.R A very good game
American Conquest - made by GSC Game World. Strange that Cossacs were not mentioned.
Warzone 2100 is an absolute gem, I used to play it on the ps1.
IT IS BRO, i used to play it for hours. I FINALLY FOUND THE NAME OF THE GAME
absolute TOP!
Majesty, Commando, Impossible creatures, AOE(old version), Warcraft 3, Hundred swords, Desperado.
I am in tears 😢. How beautiful my childhood was in spite of all the obstacles I faced in my life!
I thank the game developers from the bottom of my heart who made my childhood memorable.
wdym by old aoe?
@@1AEGIS Was talking about Age of empires 1&2 and not the remastered version.
@@Kapt_Klaw remastered u mean HD and DE, right? or aoe4?
@@1AEGIS The original version released initially.
I would request you to take a look at Hexen 2 gameplay with enhanced textures. It's smooth, beautiful and yet retains the nostalgic charm it once was.
I loved rise of nations and age of empires. But my favorite would be warlords 3, and Majesty 2 (which is not in the list), they had a rather unique approach.
Spellforce and Battle Realms also have awesome RPG elements to them, they still hold up today!
I'm soo happy you included Warrior Kings. That game is legendary with some of the most unique game mechanics out of any strategy games and AAA top tier writing! But barely anyone knows about it, which is a crying shame.
I was obsessed with Warrior Kings back the the day, before even broadband was a thing. Great game, good music but I did find it difficult as a young pup.
I was Very lucky to Play this Game every day after school. Crazy how times change
Amazing game, great music, in depth mechanics and supprising solid AI. Wish they would do a remaster.
Kid: "Mom, can we buy Age of Empires 2?"
Mom: "No, we have Age of Empires 2 at home"
Age of empires 2 at home: 5:37
I dont even know what it is. It looks like someone ported aoe1 models to aoe2 but wth is it?
No idea
Is that pharaoh maybe?
@@GarkKahn it's 100% not pharaoh
I think it's Age of Empires II, but not the original version, a modified version.
The amount of good but lesser known titles is amazing. Thank you for this video!
No Command and Conquer? Or Red Alert?
No Warcraft or Starcraft?
No Total Annihilation ?
No Myth the Fallen Lord?
No Sid Meier Gettysburg ?
No Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far,
No Ground Control?
These are the Classic Strategy games I think of.
and No Age of Mythology?
Prostagma
@@smehmetcoban Isn't that a Age of Mythology add on?
A word of AOM.
@@smehmetcoban It been a long time since I play it. (The year it came out or the one after it)
So glad to see that some1 knows that Warlords Battlecry exist :D that game is so amazing , you can rarely see a RTS with 16 or so races that are completely different from each other and the heroes mechanics too are cool.
It is still good game to play. I've tried it out on Win XP couple of years ago.
me too!
I think it's the only one, unfortunately... Great game though. Its hero system is pretty awesome.
Isometric 2d is such a perfect format. Not all the gems that aged well are 2d iso, but most of them are and most of them have. Nice List anyway!
Army Men RTS was one of my favorite strat games. I wouldn't be surprised that it didn't included in this video cause it was like a dream fever.
Thank you very much for this list. Rise and fall civilizations at war was one of the games I played as a child, I couldn't remember the name, thanks to you, I remembered the name of the game again.
Warzone 2100, thank you. For this video i have found the game ive been looking for since i was 8. This was my first game on pc i have ever played, my father had this game and i would play it for HOURS when i was 5, i forgot the name of the game but i remember the graphics and sound of the game. Im feeling REALLY nonstalgic now ;)
Rise of Legends and Battle for Dune need a REMASTER ASAP!!!
Been trying to get emperor again idk where tho
Ahh yes. American Conquest. The most underrated strategy game ever made. It was such a shame that it was so insanly poorly optimized
Dune and American Conquest are my favorite games from this list.
18:02 American Conquest - made by GSC Game World. Strange that Cossacks were not mentioned. 💛💙
Kohan 1 and Kohan 2 are gems, I never seen anyone playing it, multiplayer I think never worked, and even on platforms like GameRanger I can't see anyone playing it, but it's still insane gems, love it ! (Sadly the 2 is bugging on recent OS so games randomly crashes from time to time, it's playable but can sometimes be annoying)
Kohan 2 on steam works perfectly. Playing it via LAN network from time to time.
@@CuXxX87mt Don't you ever get crashes ? Half of my games ends up crashing even though I put the game in Windows XP compatibility mode
No, I can't recall any game crashes during single player or multiplayer. I am running windows 10/11 and have no problems with the steam version. I do recall some online crashes when playing a pirated version. You could save an online game just like a normal campaign map and when the crash occurred, the host would just start a new online game with that save file. That helped a lot when playing huge maps, where matches could go up for hours.
Metal Fatigue should have been included in the list! Absolutely awesome game for anyone who wants to look it up.
Those death sounds of Empire Earth are still hilarious after all those years.
Omg i love u man i was searching for the title of the game from my childhood and it's Warrior Kings tysm
How did I miss this. Like all 30 of them I never heard of when I was a kid. (Except the popular Aoe2, Empire Earth and Rise of Nations)
Tzar I need to replay this game. Good channel btw.
Battle realms trying to remember this game so wholesome thanks bro'
Warzone 2100! What a Great game!
I think i finished it 3 times, 1 on PS1 and 2 times on PC. I loved this customization of tanks and planes, the progression of technologies from lousy machine guns to lasers. The last zone with those pulse lasers, railguns was a great "pew pew" mysterious atmosphere. Always wished the campaign lasted longer after I unlocked best weapons and cool looking tank parts. Man , I loved building those bases, preparing defenses... I think I am gonna play it for 4th time..
You should try online matches with other players, it's fun too!
Куда девались серия Sudden Strike, Блицкриг и Карибский кризис, Казаки, Generals, серия Total War, Цива, В тылу врага, Company of Heroes и многие другие.
Nice to see No Man's Land. One of my favorite RTS games. ❤
I still play it
I would mention Outlive. Pretty cool and unique game from 00', loved it much more than even sc
I remember Spellforce, it was basically and RTS/RPG hybrid. It's been an eternity since I played. I never got far into it because I was just a dumb kid who didn't understand either of those genres yet.
Of that sweet MIDI hit of Tzar's music!
Tzar's Soundtrack is really similar to Ultima7, great!
I was looking for Besieger game for at least 10 years... omg ty so much.... i remembered it has started something like "Be" but i was looking for Berseker always...
İ look for a game when soldiers have stars on their head for their levels , and you can choose each soldiers outfit separately. Your initial building was in hexagon shape then in each side you build another building.
Looking back, I gotta say: We have come a long way! Old games are and still will be way superior over the new ones.
5:40 dunno what that is but definitely not AOE2
Tzar is the most nostalgic rts of my childhood, how many hours have i spent playing it..
Wery well video I found the game that I was looking for. ❤❤❤ ty
Дааааа!!! Наконец, я нашел то что искал так долго!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
There are so many RTS titles missing here, such as the entire C&C series, or Warcraft, or The Settlers, the Warhammer series also has at least one older RTS game as far as I know. Joint Task Force... . And many others already mentioned in advance. But good work for a very old game Emperor Battle for Dune, this game is a heartthrob, even though I'm more into Fantasy than Sci-Fi.
this just old game and scifi have more features in modern rts.
everyone knows warcraft doesnt make sense to put it into again
Warhammer is sub genren not rts Warhammer is tactical strategi
Happy to see No Man's Land and Castle Strike(forgot its name and been searching for it) mentioned. I used to love these as a kid but I lost the discs, and my PC was reformatted.
Finally someone shows No Man Land
This games is very good clean Graphic and good sounds
Today, I am still playing Praetorians and American Conquest
some epic games here. thanks. my fave genre
"Original War" is the best strategy game with rpg elements of all time.
I'm surprised I've never even heard of most of these.
homeworld ? thats a great game too , cool vid bro
sadly I couldn't find the game I was looking for, I guess I gotta keep looking, some of the games here were cool tho, thanks for the video.
wie sieht es mit Warcraft, Stracraft aus? :P
und mein lieblings spiel damals Beasts & Bumpkins
There was a game about protecting a princess you started of with just the princess and her knight and as you progress you find more character and of a Character dies they don't respawn and the movement was kinda like chess
У меня только один вопрос, откуда вы берете риплеи данных игр?
What a weird texture of AoE2, is that the old HD edition? You miss Cossack though, I guess American Conquest kinda from the same dev...
It looks super weird I agree, however, those are Bengalis' Ratha units (defending the sphinxes) which were only introduced with the latest DLC for the Definitive Edition "Dynasties of India" (April 2022). This has to be the worst representation for AOE2 in a "retro strategy game" video, both content wise but also the performance / graphic settings with blur and all.
I miss "Dark Colony", awesome game.
14:47 I was looking for warlords battlecry 3 gameplay footage and stumbled upon this gem, I used to play this when I was a kid on one of those old fat pcs back in the day and I didn't even know this game came out one year before I was born, I started looking for it 6 years ago or so and couldn't find it any where and had give up. I'm so glad I found it even after I had made peace with the fact that I'd probably never find it. This game and heroes of might and magic 4 were my child hood (I know homm3 is better but my pc had updated and couldn't run my physical dvd copy of the game any more)
Good list, will replay some of these. Warrior kings Battles is excellent and still holds up today, as does praetorians and spell force. You forgot Blitzkrieg, Sacefoce, Men of war and Hero's of world war 2.
i have couple to add
1. Red Alert
2. War Craft
3. KKND
4 .Cossacs
5. Stronghold
Stronghold definitely.
Metal Fatigue too
Mid 90s to late 00s the golden age of Strategy Gaming. RIP
Cool 🎞️🎥🎬👍👍👍
Seven Kingdoms 2. I still play
On ancient wars is that the actual gameplay music? That’s pretty dope.
for me warlords battlecry and warcraft 3 are the best strategy games that i played
Battle Realms was a a secret revolution.
MY TOP 3 is age of kings, starcraft and red alert(c&c). red alert2 , sc2 and aoe3 were awesome merchandises as well.
but i am glad to see warlords bc3 in this list. i really wish the game contiued.
I would add the GOAT to the list:
Jurassic War
released on Dec 31, 1997
by Tranquil Revolt in Computer
19:57 this is music in my ears :D
im trying to find a game thats old like a 2D Strategy game where I think at the start, there is 2 jets that will attack you or drop you off. someone help me find it thanks
No Tropico, no Celtic King("trilogy"), no Knight of Honour, no Star Wars strategy, no A.M.E.R.I.C.A., top 50/50
i'm searching for an old game and i don't remember what it was called but it was about sea people and mermaids fighting against eachother to qonquest the underwater. and i remember that it had graphicks like some 3D cartoon for kids
Лайкос 🏰😼👍 Но Казаков и Александра здесь не хватает 😏🏰
Ти повсюди😳 я твій фанат!
Sudden strike, Blitzkrieg, America: No peace beyond the line, Three kingdoms : Fate of the dragon, Stronghold, Cossacks
where is total annihlation?
It's annihilated.
Rising Kingdoms, Nemesis of the Roman Empire, ParaWorld, Dragonshard, Ground Control 2, Mark of Chaos, Battle for Middle-Earth, Generals.
Hi, thanks for the video. One of my favourite rts from 90s era was Space Clash, The Last Frontier. I really loved that game.
Maybe u can add Star Wars Galactic BattleGrounds -The Clone Wars, it was a real fun game too.
Armor Command, Ground Control, Arsenal, War inc., Rush for Berlin, Warfare, Mechcommander, 7th Legion, Kknd, Alexander, Paraworld, Act of war, Perimeter, Real war, Tom Clancy's Endwar, Maelstrom, Platoon, SunAge, Machines at war, Field ops, Joint task force, State of war, Elements of war.
Man, It's such a shame that Rise and Fall Civilizations at War was never completed. It was such a cool concept.
18:20 Ah, I remember this game. Mostly the fact that you had to sacrefice around 300 troops to kill around 10 enemy soldiers that barricaded themselves inside a building. So realistic.
Literally the Alamo
20:30 omg battle mages. I had once the cd for it, but played only the first lvl. it was so a winter map with 2 settlements
Dark planet battle for natrolis.
Been thinking of this demo Alot lately.
No man's land, castle strike and empire earth were my favorite.
2006...old 🙂 I must be too old then. I expected things like Total Annihilation, C&C and Red Alert original series, maybe Starcraft 1, Heroes or Disciples 2, Populous 3...and even these are not old considering you could go back all the way to early 90s. Oh well.
Thank you for this comment. Populus was one of the most fun games I ever played
@@joseaguilera3939My mother would enter my room and ask about what music I was listening to. The magic of Populous.....
Nice one! But what about to add KKND ? =)
Heroes of Annihilated empires is the goat, the video does not do it justice
Total Annihilation: Kingdoms
On 32:01 track, where find instrumental version?
Didn't find what I was looking for, but liked for empire earth. I was searching for games I don't remember the names of.
Empire earth such a classic
What was the name of the rts that was only in space, and you had to build structures as sectors of a ring around the planet, it was similar to starcraft in the sense that there was terran an alien race and then sort of mutants. i remember the errans had a destroyer that show arcs of lightning and the lightning spread to other ships or buildings, it was around the time submarine titans appeared. Thanks in advance.
Update/Edit: Found out, it was Conquest: Frontier Wars
does anyone know of modern rts games where the scale is similar to those old games. What I mean is, where the troops are smaller than the buildings and not those game where your character is gigantic on the overworld map like in spellforce or Age of Wonders 4
I growed up on American Conquest, No Man's Land and Castle Strike. I have original CD boxes.
Command and Conquer
Sacrifice
Strarcraft
Warcraft
Cool Video, man! 👍👍
Cossacks 2, Dawn of the Modern World, Officers WW2 - Operation Overlord, Paraworld
