Elysian Shadows

For those of you who don't already know, I'm a large RTS fan.

My absolute favorite title is Starcraft: Broodwar, though I highly enjoy Command and Conquer, Warcraft, and Age of Empires.

However...I'm interested in picking up a new title...Preferably with decent multiplayer LAN capabilities.

Any suggestions? ;p

Also, the lower PC specs the better. I have a pure shit gfx card.

If you're into Star Wars, then Star Wars: Glactic Battlegrounds is pretty good. It runs on the same engine as AOE2, and its specs are stupidly low. It's quite old now too, so you might struggle to pick it up, but if you do, it'll be dirt cheap. Also, grab the expansion pack: 2 extra factions, some super powerful new units, and the explosions look prettier. Aside from that, and Age of Empires, I don't play a lot of RTS games, so I dunno what else to reccomend.

But anyway, shouldn't you be working on a level editor instead of playing RTS's?

i dont know how low your specs are but check out world in conflict, medieval 1 & 2 total war and rome total war. The three you named are quite different from the type i play but get company of heroes if you like games where you need a base of sorts. Also galactic battlegrounds is good but is literally aoe with different units and a better campaign

Absolutely! Ha, ask Marauder how hard it is to get me to game these days. ;P

In about 15 days of hardcore devving,I plan to sit down and have a LAN at my place.

Hey Arce what happened to your awesome avatar man?

I love Rise of Nations, and will probably play it till I wear the disk out when I get a working desktop that doesn't have vista on it

As soon as I get a new PC/laptop, I'm picking up an RTS and getting some friends over for an LAN party, havn't done that in a while... Plus my friends were making fun of me cause my idea of a great party is apparently a LAN party, although I think Kaitlyn who was making fun of me would enjoy one too but she doesn't socialize with the people she should to play videogames with.... anyways </rant>

Can't go wrong with Company of Heroes.

Agreed

Rise of Nations is awesome... has a lot of features, goes beyond the ages of AgeOfEmpires 2 (which is still the best for me xD), and has great capabilities to play multiplayer, online or by LAN!

You should try it

Y'know, I used to be a huge Heros of Might and Magic fan.

And thanks guys for all the suggestions! I'll give them a go here in a few weeks. XDD

First time I played it it was all pink and funky colors... But it was fun, I just wish I had a mouse

I'd recommend Dawn Of War 2.

The demo of this really made me feel iffy. Seemed like waiting around for resources to build up was all I did.
