My favourites are still the original Command & Conquer and Red Alert, along with Alpha Centauri.

However Warcraft 3 is muchly loved.

Warcraft III (TFT) - continuation of the finest and most consistently superb RTS series ever.

Medieval: Total War - Real time and turn based strategy rolled seamlessly into one, combined with innumerable strategic possibilities, this is a thinking man's game.

Homeworld 2 - expanding the universe of the still pioneering 3D space-based strategy game. The simple fact that no other games have effectively attempted to mimic this series is testament to the effort involved to make the series a world class experience.

Has no-one mentioned the excellent Age of Empire series? In my opinion they was true RTS games that holded excellent multiplayer features.

In the meantime i'm installing Warcraft 3.

I agree with gamesfreak. Age of Empires are truly classic strategy games.

Age of Empires 2. Fun to play, addictive, easy and simple. And don't forget the longevity. I'm still playing regicides, random maps and deathmatches now.

Closely followed by Stronghold and Starcraft. I would acknowlege Railroad Tycoon as the best, but I won't because it's a simulation. Which isn't far removed from a strategy, but isn't one.

Ahh. I may have to get WCIII.

Warcraft II was utter genius!
