For a succesful rts, I think you need the following:

I know mozalbete has the brains

* Good aesthetics

That's it

*looks at successful rtses*

Sucessful rts are made by massive companies, so anything indie needs to stand out with aesthetics and style

Thats certainly true to a degree

An rts is kind of not a massive company thing anymore

Or ever was

I would say that an rts has to be a great esport and allow for easy community tinkering

And a great eaport means well balanced and have a natueally shifting meta at high level play

And also exciting to watch

do we consider Generals to be a good RTS

because it was so fuckin fun when I was a kid

it's still fun if I can be bothered to try to run it

Command & Conquer: Generals

It was popular and big nostalgia factor

Balance is weak though. High level play is just tank spam

Open niche imo but not as big as wc3refunded tanking

I never really understood what serious sam was about but I always had a blast playing it

TOP 3 FAVORITE RTS GAMES ...GO

Generals, Red Alert 2, Planetary Annihilation

it's a genre I don't touch much and I am well aware of the glaring problems with PA

@MawLr I used to play Verdun about a year or 2 ago, but it was pushing the limits of what my laptop can run lol. I'm pretty bad at first person shooters but I did have fun on it.

based, I used to be good in that game until recent updates also fucked up optimization

I think the best I ever did was calling artillery as an officer

And staying in a safe spot in enemy lines so people could spawn in

Speaking of RTS with great aesthetics, spellforce 3

It scratched my Battle for Middle Earth 2 itch

Not many people seem to know about it though

Literally as I talked about it

Shame this game doesn't have mod tools, it would really kick the activity into high gear

I just tried out Spellforce 3

Sound literally did not work and I can't fix it

i love kcd

idk if you were talking about that
