Favourite Strategy Games

CodyJarrett · 09 October 2001, 16:20

There was a thread about favourite RTS games, but this is broader. What are you favourites?

CodyJarrett · 09 October 2001, 16:21

Supremacy - perhaps a little too much like a spreadsheet, but managing your planets and sending your men off to war was fun!

CodyJarrett · 09 October 2001, 16:25

What can I say? The interface may be rubbish and it's necessary to patch the AGA version to turn off annoying screen fades, but games don't get much more engrossing than this!

CodyJarrett · 09 October 2001, 16:27

Colonization - a more precise version of Civilization. It's completely Workbench friendly too and supports different screenmodes.

CodyJarrett · 09 October 2001, 16:28

SimCity - of course!

CodyJarrett · 09 October 2001, 16:29

King's Bounty - completely underrated strategy RPG.

CodyJarrett · 09 October 2001, 16:30

The Settlers - full of character and endlessly replayable.

CodyJarrett · 09 October 2001, 16:32

Mega Lo Mania - sometimes success is too random, but another classic Sensi Software game.

RetroMan · 09 October 2001, 17:25

Well, my all-time-fav RTS on Amiga is : NAPALM (even it´s not old-school, but it´s Amiga

)

Amiga1992 · 09 October 2001, 19:25

I love Mega-Lo-Mania, Populous, The Settlers, Syndicate, Realms, SimCity and Theme Park

Fields of Glory was nice too!

RetroMan · 09 October 2001, 22:10

..... that none of the above mentioned games is really bad, so ..... but I´ll stick to NAPALM anyway

oh and EXODUS isn´t bad either, but it´s also a kinda "modern" Amiga game, so is Earth2140

Jonny Rep 3 ( converted form the CPC464 Schneider )
Fields Of Glory
Lords Of The Rising Sun
Colonization was great, but i lost very early all motivation for it

I think Cody started this thread just so he could post a few double barrels

Retroman: You just listed 3 of the latest in Amiga entertainment. Not into old school eh?

Since Civilization isn't realtime, I'm assuming turnbased games are alright?

So. Defender Of The Crown would be up there for me (although it's not all totally strategy)

I must agree with Retroman though about Napalm. That game rocks

Shatterhand · 10 October 2001, 04:55

My 3 fav amiga strategy games are K240, The Settlers and MegaLoMania

Funnily, it seems like I am the only one who likes K240...

Well, I AM into old school indeed, but since I got the Hardware, why not playing some up-to-date Amiga games

??? Oh and btw., from that listed above, I would prefer Mega-Lo-Mania, it´s very kewl

Amiga1992 · 10 October 2001, 19:55

No Shatterhand, I find K240 to be pretty good!

Tim Janssen · 12 October 2001, 16:00

I was never a big fan of this genre because too much thinking is involved. I prefer shmups or any other 'mindless' game.
The only RTS I found interesting on Amiga were Dune 2 and Theme Park. Pity that in the latter the negotiation-with-employee aspect ruins almost the whole game.

Shatterhand · 12 October 2001, 17:52

@ Akira

good thing..

K240 is my fav strategy game for Amiga.

Ohh, how I forgot Dune 2! I played this one for ages too

I don't like Theme Park too much... maybe it runs to fast in my PC, I don't know, I think you have to do TOO MANY things at the same time, and everything goes wrong too fast.

Or maybe I am just a crap manager

Amiga1992 · 12 October 2001, 18:13

You are a crap manager

Though the A500 version hasa different pace, I got to the point where I could do NOTHING to make thsoe visitors unhappy. And I tried to kill them many times!

Ian · 12 October 2001, 18:20

My favourite stratagy game, although it is hard to narrow it down, is Mega Lo Mania although I disagree with Cody about success being random

I also enjoys Theme Park

, in fact I like most of the games in this thread, but Mega Lo Mania is my favourite
