Thank you for mentioning TA! I still play it even to this day. I even have 2 win2k partitions on 2 of my PC's that I only use to play TA (I just can't get TA to work well in multiplayer on XP)!

Rise of Rome (original AoE expansion) comes to mind as well as one of the best of all times. Red Alert 2 is high on the list, but behind RoR.

I must say, my favorite is dune2, and then ra2, and homeworld. Starcraft is excellent except it is now filled with asians who play it 24/7 and kick my *** so bad^^

im oldschool so Homm 1-3

HOMM is not real-time...

and a damned good one

hey its all about imagination!i see it as a real time ;) :p
but actually if you need a bloody REAL rts..then i have to take...
warcraft 1..at least i played that longer than war3 or sc :D

My favorite RTS game of all time is Total Annihilation hands down. In my opinion there has been no other game that has come out that matches the scope and features of this gem of a game. I still find myself installing it once in a while to play a few rounds. The unit system was one of the best if not the best I have ever seen. Fully customizeable everything. Spawned all sorts of complete mod conversions. There were thousands of custom maps and units, and tons of people played on boneyards while it was popular. I loved this game and was greatly saddened when Cavedog went down. TA kingdoms was cool also...but not as good as the original.

If I were to choose a runner up...would have to be Starcraft.

Damn right!:D

red alert, and red alert 2

:)RA2:) Is the best and will never grow old

I love RTS's

I pretty much have only played multi for the last 5 years, ignoring the single player altogether.

My favorites are;

Empire Earth - By far the most depth.
Rise of Nations - Love the territory aspect
AOEII / Rise of Kings - The two above would not exist without borrowing heavily from it.
Starcraft - Certainly the most unique of all RTS games, I did play it single player.

I think RA2 is best for modern warfare freaks. Generals is so LAME, as in I find it overbalanced. RA2 is overbalanced too, but they pulled it off sucessfully. :D All general freaks, I have nothing against Generals, it is a great game. But was not pulled off as well as the rest of the C&C series.

For Ancient guys, it should be Age of Mythology. It feels like Heroes and AOE combined. RAD !!! :D

For those interested in magic, there is only Warcraft 3 and frozen throne. Basically because I haven't seen any other RTS involving magic. Well except AOM.

For SCI-FI guys, its either Starcraft or Homeworld.
But both are rather old, and Starcraft needs Revival soon.

In my opinion, all the RTS mentioned here are pretty good. However they all have their flaws.
