Welcome back, commander. Good welcome, soldiers.

Welcome to the RTS HQ, here you will be briefed and brought up to date with news on the RTS world. Feel free to hang out in the lobby, meet new friends, discuss news, strategies, even reminisce the past by discussing beloved classic RTS games.

Travel the world of Red Alert, relive the tiberium wars, fight the burning legion in Warcraft, defend the koprulu sector in Starcraft, collect the spice in Dune and more.

You are in control of the chess board commander. Use it well.

Good hunting.

And remember,

“He commands the future, conquers the past.” -The Messiah

Rules.

  1. Memes welcome but keep it to a minimum
  2. Keep this SFW
  3. Respect others
  4. Be kind always

As soldiers and commanders, we are expected to be in our best behavior, but we are also allowed to kick back and relax.

One I always come back to is Planetary Annihilation.
Never felt like it really got off the ground, or maybe that's as good as the precursors got too. But dang it I still find it fun to run through a little campaign thing, despite it getting super unbalanced in your favor as soon as you knock at one of the first 'bosses'. Suprised that they're still updating and maintaining it, even to the point of adding mods in as 'official' content.

How can you go wrong with smashing planets into each other or just straight up death-staring your emeny into dust motes?

And then they were going to make Human Resources, which looked like wicked good fun. Perhaps in some alternate universe that panned out...

Any games you guys have that feel that way to you?

I checked it out and wow. That looks pretty nifty. The aesthetics reminds me of Starcraft 2 but with Tau from Dawn of War. It’s sad that RTS genre isn’t that big of a genre to begin with.
