I've been playing an insane amount of Harvest.

I watched the video...that was INSANE.I'm downloading it right now.

Birthright seems awesome.I'll have to look into it.

I got this. It's very fun, though some of the harder levels are extremely tough. I would of mentioned this but it's not really an RTS.

I have this game as well, I played it for a while then stopped.

Finally got 7kingdoms 2 working...
It's good but the complete absence of large bodies of water irked me a little.I kinda like the naval battles.

But I did get empire earth running again.

Action-Strategy and SRPG for me. I hate TBS and have luke-warm feelings for RTS.

Syndicate, Syndicate Wars, Dungeon Keeper and Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders and KUF: Heroes for me.

And of course: Ogre Battle. Ogre Battle 64 is still the best SRPG I've yet to play (or at least the only one that hasn't thoroughly pissed me off - I hate the rest of the series, that's for sure).

You didn't like tactics ogre?

I was disappointed by Ogre Battle 64. I liked the SNES version much more. I think it was the whole collecting armor to change classes thing. I preferred having to battle units right to get them into the right classes in the original.

I don't play strategy games too much, but when I do its usually WarCraft, StarCraft, or one of the older Command & Conquer games. I've also played a little bit of World in Conflict and it seems really good.

I take it your ready for starcraft 2 to come out...I know I am.

Dawn of War is probably the game that I have played the most of all RTS, the only one that I ever got really serious about. The rest, I just played my way through the single player campaigns. The command and conquer series (except generals: hated it), Rome Total War, Starcraft (tho who hasn't), and just about any WWII RTS (Sudden Strike, Company of Heroes etc) Roll on Starcraft 2

Having said that, I will nearly always choose FPS or RPG tho.

I like a good strategy board game as well (for example Risk or Barbarossa or... DOOM... the board game.(how ironic.)) Not that I usually have the time.

I love my XCOM, Wesnoth, Empire Earth, DoW, C&C 1 and Red Alert 1

Freeciv is fun to play as well, so is TA:Spring. UFO2000 is a great multiplayer remake of XCOM, but it's not updated anymore :(

I'd love to try playing multiplayer in UFO: Alien Invasion though, but I can't find anyone who is interested enough.

Ground Control.... besides ITS FREE!!

I love not to have to build bases and that kind of stuff.

Ground Control 2 is even better... but GC1 has its charm

The other is Homeworld 2... damn hard to grasp at first... but very rewarding at the end, with HUGE space battles.

[Haloless0320]

I just started playing Wesnoth,its a great game.

There's also FreeCol for fans of Colonization.

And yeah, Wesnoth is pretty badass, though also a bit challenging.

They have a large modding community too...lots of quests and campaigns

Seeing as how I generally suck at any strategy games (online I average an 80% chance of losing each game I play) I've been trying to stick to one game at a time so I can memorize the mechanics; I don't have enough time to play multiple RTS games so I've been playing Supreme Commander online a bit(might get the expansion eventually); I bought StarCraft in anticipation of its sequel, but I haven't been playing it as much at all; The Sins of a Solar Empire Demo was pretty cool, but I'll stick to SupCom.
