This game provides you with 5 different RTS games all in one, each with unique playstyles, rules and ways to win. This amazing game has it all, and it lets you do what you want and rule as a benign lord or aggressive knight.You have many different things to manage, and these give you the option to play anyway you want. From just building a nice place in freeplay mode to taking on all comers in a brilliant multiplayer battle, you can be the head of the estate and build a farm or an army, it is all up to you. With a huge replay value and never ending options, this is a great game for you to try.
Supreme Commander
Supreme Commander is an excellent spiritual successor to the popular strategic game, Total Annihilation. Set in a futuristic world and a futuristic war between three factions, the game lets you dive into the turning point in the war where only one faction can emerge as the victor. The gameplay emphasizes strongly on strategic planning and thinking ahead as you'll not only need to amass an offensive force to take out your enemies; you'll also need to build up your base's defenses in order to repel invading armies.Aside from its abandoned multiplayer mode, the most unfortunate thing about this game though is that there isn't a speed up option so most of the processes in the game are incredibly slow. Even the movement of your vehicles is slow. So, unless you have hours after hours to spend, Supreme Commander might not appeal to you as much - you might want to try its sequel instead.
