I need a good slow paced RTS game.

[Robert1986]

Im not really into the do a million commands in 10 seconds RTS games. I like the slower paced ones. Can any recommend some good slow paced RTS games?

Thanks.

Age of Empires? I used to play that pretty slowly, although that may have been why I was crap at it

Civ is turn based, so that is as slow as you want it to be.

Yep Age of Empires would be a good choice, empire earth also maybe ?

 

[Robert1986]

Thanks. I'll give them a look at.

To some extent Medieval total war?

supreme commander is slow paced

Battle Isle? that was a good turn base game, not sure if they have upgraded it.

Quite removed from traditional RTS, but it has combat and resource management aspects:

Heroes of Might & Magic 5 (and the add-ons)

 

[Chronictank]

Populous if you are looking for some retro gaming

sup com

Supreme Commander, as long as the people you’re playing with aren’t the kind that attack you right at the start games usually take hours.

You will need a very high end PC though.

OpenTTD, it's Transport Tycoon with internet play and a few other enhancements.

megalomania for some addictive action

Age of Mythology - it's more interesting the others in the series because you get to create lots of mythical beasts rather than just different types of soldiers. It's not complete bedlam either. It's the only RTS I've ever completed and I'm impatient enough so it must be good.

Sup Com the single player game is pretty slow if thats how you like to play it

Try settlers 6 - very chilled out in an RTS kind of way. plus all the little dudes get dogs and cats when you build them shops and there's little bunnies and things running around

Darwinia is faster but you only have 4 units to control. Download the demo from steam.

Thanks for all the replies. Really helpful. I've checked out all the games suggested in this thread. I've decided to buy "Settlers 6" and "Age of Mythology." Thanks.

Good shout! however technically it's a turn based strategy (and HoMM 3 was the best in the series )

Medieval total war 2 - ok it's not RTS (except in battle) but the turn based element means you can take as long as you want and you can always pause the combat

plus it's just utterly superb!
