Well, here goes. Not Greatest, though, best (you could say Dune 2 for its impact, but deffinately not the best ever, right?)

Other options:
- Dawn of War
- Sins of a Solar Empire
- Empire Earth
- Rise of Nations
- DEFCON
- World in Conflict
- Medieval
- War of the Ring
- Endwar
- Myth
- Darwinia
- Supreme Commander

Whew.

Warcraft III is the only RTS I have spent a significant amount of time playing online.

Total Annihilation has my heart, however. Voted for that.

I was going to vote Dawn of War (Dawn of War II is wonderful), but I voted Company of Heroes. CoH simply pulls me in through its superb story telling and visceral combat, plus the fact that it is based of actual events is more interesting for me.

I think she looks a lot like Sarah Vowell. Not exactly, but similiar. JazFusion has a much better nose though.

I'm watching the '84 Dune...it's just uncanny how much the voice of the narrator and pacing of his narration match up with the story narration in Homeworld...

The only RTS I've played is C&C. I didn't enjoy it. :P

I've considered Dawn of War...

There's only one RTS-type series for me...Total War. Not sure if it cmpletely counts, since it's got a turn-based element as well, but it ruined any other RTS for me. Forever.

A magnificent series.

The best. Hope I can play the new one on my system, and curious as to how well gunpowder works. But will probably replay MII again before I get the next one anyway.

I played a demo of Rome...it was really good, but my system's pretty old and even though the game is also, it couldn't "make it pretty". Seems that if one chose to 'get into' those games, you might never...come...back.

Yeah, if you couldn't run Rome decently, you probably won't run MII at all. I've got every one except the latest so far...had to upgrade my system to run MII though. I literally can't play things like C&C or Empires anymore, because they just don't deliver as well as Total War.

I still make an exception for Star Wars: Empire At War, but that's probably because they come close to working like it, and the space battles are good. But that's the only one.

Star Wars: Empire at War is excellent.

I almost want to hate it...as popular and end-game pointless as it is...but still, why hate when one can ignore.

Sins of a Solar Empire is worse than crack.
