Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances vs Stronghold
Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances
Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances is a decent MMORTS game that is based on the popular strategy game franchise, Command & Conquer. Set in the same universe as its other standalone games, Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances provides MMO players with the ease of being able to play a version of C&C on their web browsers, though that "version" might not be something that hardcore fans of the franchise may actually like. This is mainly because of its gameplay really. Unlike its standalones, this game provides players with the tried-and-true game design that many other browser-based MMOs have used over the years which admittedly doesn't win this game any extra points. Okay, there might be a bit modification to that design but the gameplay is still, overall, rather boring... and for some, disappointingly so.That said, Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances is still a pretty nice game for casual MMO players who are tired of the same old MMO strategy gameplays and would like to try something different for a change. Though be warned, the pace in this game can be a tad bit slow so you might need to bear with it for awhile before you can get to the more interesting stuff.
Stronghold
Stronghold is the original castle simulation game and it's not shy to let you know about it. Back when it first came out, the game was incredibly popular among fans of the real-time strategy genre and it is pretty obvious to why. The game not only let you build and design your own castle in its combat-free economic campaign; you also get to engage in medieval warfare against AI enemies in the game's single player campaigns or against up to 8 other players via the multiplayer mode online. You can even besiege actual historical castles, set up typical catle defenses to stump invaders and make sure your people are well-taken care of.Stronghold is a classic when it comes to castle sims. In fact, until today, there still isn't any game that managed to achieve a similar depth in terms of its gameplay. If you love castle-building and real-time strategy, this is a game you'll most certainly enjoy. Do give it a try!
