RTS for a Casual Gamer?

triggerthat · 18 Feb 2011 at 23:48

I remember playing Warcraft 3 a few years ago and I thought what else is out there that is great. Nothing too difficult to get in to. Any recommendations?

AOE3 and its expansions, rather casual fun there.

How wrong couidl you be? Casual and not too hard and you picked COH? Brilliant game, huge learning curve and a tough fan base to beat.

Company of heroes is excellent (I dont remember a huge learning curve though). Just playing World in Conflict now, as I picked it up with the expansion pack for 3.99 from a well known game store.

Also try out Hero's of newerth (HON)
which is based on a mod from Warcraft 3... but remaid with better graphics... not sure if you can call it a casual RTS.. takes a bit of time to ge used to it thou!

I'm a casual RTS player and I reckon the following:

Dawn of War series
Command and Conquer series (although I'd steer clear of RA3)

Company of Heroes and Supreme Commander may be a bit of a stretch for a casual player.

DoW2 is the same as CoH.

They are pretty different in their execution, much smaller squads/groups and not much real base building in SP DOW2 compared to COH.
