My favourite strategy game is The Lord Of The Rings Battle For Middle Earth. It is basically LOTR, but you have to build stuff to help you win the war. And you can produce battalions of soldiers from a barracks. You can play as many different species, and it is very fun and addicting! You should look it up! (if you like the Lord of the Rings.)

Now I'm also getting into the Total War series (specifically the Medieval and Rome games). I downloaded the demos off of Steam, and I find them very entertaining. I'm planning on buying a Total War game very soon.

Rome Total War is my favorite non-console game of all time, I suggest getting Rome 2 when it comes out if you're getting a Total War game. (my advice is worth a ton because I made it so obvious that my views are biased. xD)

I believe the one I loved the most was Shogun: Total War.  And while I have played Rome: Total War - I still kind of miss the first one.  It was so much fun.   So amazing.

I think it's been said already, but I will go with Chess. Haven't played for a long time, though. Use to play a lot in high school, and (showing my nerd side here) earned a letter in Chess. Played some in the Navy also. But since, just haven't been able to find very many people to play against. And I don't like playing Chess (or a lot of card games) online against others. It loses a lot for me when you don't get that personal interaction with your opponent.

On the computer, I like an old game called "Empire Deluxe". It's a turn-based strategy game, where you have to explore the world to find the enemy (up to 5 additional enemies) and destroy them before they destroy you. You capture cities along the way (both neutral and controlled by the enemy) and set up production of new military units (infantry, fighter planes, destroyers, battleships, etc.) to build up your military.

I started playing this game in the 80's when it was a DOS version (Windows wasn't really that popular yet), and later moved to the Windows version. The rights to the game has been bought by a few different people, and right now is owned by "Killer Bee Software". The came out with an "Internet Edition" which had some minor tweaks, but the biggest was that you could play online against others. it always had multiplayer, but it was either on the same computer, or PBM (Play By Mail), where you saved the file at the end of your turn and mailed (or emailed) the save file to your opponent for their turn. Not the best way, but this was before the Internet was around for consumer use. They also came out with an "Enhanced Edition", which I really don't care for.

My favorite Strategy Game would have to be Pokemon.

Combined, me and my brother have all Pokemon games, from Ruby & Sapphire through Black 2 & White 2.

Played that both on IBM and on the Mac.   Always so much fun - mostly because it felt that you were fighting on a HUGE planet.  The enemy could, in fact, sneak in subs and surface ships into your waters without you noticing them unless you properly set up patrols with aircraft and naval units.  You had to be on your toes.

X-Com: Enemy Unknown, an awesome game

[xracecar]

Minecraft, Starcraft, Starcraft II, AOE, AOE II, AOE II Expansion set, LoL (League of Legends, not Laugh out Loud)
Pokemon Gold (I wanted Yellow)

[Quiz15]

LOTR was my favorite one

[Pherion]

I would have to say that my favorite strategy game is Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion. The advanced space conflict is amazing, and the game is so fluid for its complexity that it feels as if you are actually the leader of a space empire. It just is an awesome game.

I easily say Civilization V, the Civilization series is also the best strategy series! The Total War series is close behind, but Civilization has a quicker and easier flowing type of gameplay.

[cay900]

I like ages of empire 3

[Thecreamberryq]

rome total war and napoleon total war

[Thecreamberryq]

[HomeworkPhobia]

Um, probably Battleships because it is predictable in some ways but not in others!

[Jartiel]

Starcraft 2

[Medocore]

SOTS the pit i would say its an strategy game
