"Best strategy/war game- longest thread?"

The best strategy war game ever is C&C Generals.
Just write anything about pc games or strategy games and the future of pc games.

Hi Guys,

Was hoping that someone out there can help me. Does everyone remember Birth of The Federation, I'm not a huge Star Trek fan, but I did love that game with the expanding galaxies and colonizing worlds so forth. I'm looking for today's equivalent. Something that has the same feel.

Any info will be gratefully excepted

Cold War Conflicts looks excellent. Anyone have it yet or played it?

It'll slip to Christmas at the very latest, it's not going to be any kind of Half Life 2. I work in testing, and I'm also doing one or two historical battles. I only started in January :0[

I got the release date from PCG's mag, though it looked more like an assumption of what the release date will be. I'll expect it to slip though, beacuase it seems most of the games I'm looking forward to this year end up slipping to a new release date.#

Just out of interest, What are you working on in the game?

What about TOTAL ANNIHILATION for me it set the standard and cannot wait for the sencond one to come out

Rome is still set for Autumn as far as I'm told, but it could still slip. The longer it takes to get released the better, as I'm possibly out of a job when it ships!

I'd be overly suspicious of a game of Age of Empire calibre being released in such a short time frame. Christmas would be the wisest of release dates to choose, but I just can't see it personally, the fact that nothing besides the release date and the fact that it's been announced says to me that it's only in the early stages of development and would need allot longer then 8 months to be completed.

Personally I think a Summer 2005 release, though realistically I don't think you'll be seeing it until next winter.

It'll probably be released in December, before Christmas. Not only is this believable due to the time scale, but due to the fact it makes business sense.

I really wouldn't expect to see AOE3 until sometime next year. It's not even listed in some places yet, and still no new info besides it's announcement.

You left out AoE3, shame on you!
