Hmm well I can definitely recommend a few free browser games, like The Settlers Online (my fav), but also love Warstory, Damoria, Mechrage and Call of Gods...my goodness there are soooo many good browser games available.

What do you guys think about Anno 1404 and Europa Universalis:Rome ?
I will pick either one of them I guess.

There is a new game(to be released) Achron which boasts of 4D RTS instead of traditional 3D.Concept looks stunning.Time travel , teleportation, paradoxes.WIll wait for that I guess.

I'm not seeing any Total War games on that list. Check those out, Shogun 2 is supposed to be amazing. If you want to play the best RTS ever made get Total Annihilation, download some 100 unit mod packs and have at it.

I don't see the original starcraft on there. One of the best balanced RTS ever made IMO.

.Ahh now you met one .

Just remove the blizzard tag and gauge it against other RTS and then you will realize that it has nice story(not even original) but not engrossing gameplay .
I dont play multiplayer much so maybe I am missing out on the richness of the RTS .

I have a different RTS rating .
If by the 7th day ,I want to play the same game ,same level again then the RTS is good else not.
Never felt that for starcraft 1/BW/2 ,Many of C&C ,Age of empires 3 ....

Given any day
I will want to play as El Cid or Genghis khan (AOE), lead Stephan Angelus to victory ( Metal Fatigue),Lead cybrans to freedom (SupCom FA),be a part of Arkantos' journey (AOM),sacrifice the opposite priest (Netstorm),revel in heresy (W40K Dawn of War),Lead arthas to corruption(WC3),Fight NPA and save carrotland (S.W.I.N.E),play jazz jazzrabbit in between two hours to relax.

Well that is where I made my error. I wasn't aware you played for story. Every RTS geek I know plays for the multiplayer, and in that sense SC truly excels IMO.

Most RTS games I don't even play through the story. If you're looking for story, I am obviously no help!
