Default Re: So what other strategy games have you played.....

I never liked CC since you had to control your army at all times, ie units didnt return fire automatically.

That's why Red Alert was the ultimate skill/strategy game mix. You had to be on top of EVERYTHING at all times. The fact that there was actually skill in the tankfights because of the Q button is what made it fantastic. I didn't like Tiberian Sun because it did everything for you. All the games took way too long, whereas you could wipe someone out in 3 minutes in RA, or the game could last 30 if you could successfully repel the attacks. There was NOTHING better than sneaking 6 engineers in your CY while your opponnent helplessly tried to take it out. Throw in having 2 simutaneous tankfights while building buildings at the same time and it was intense.
