Modern RTS Games like Dark Crusade?

PhysicsMan94 · 7 Jul 2014 at 14:06

Are there any modern, DX10/11 based RTS games which are similar to Dawn of War: Dark Crusade?

I've got a real itch to play a great RTS which involves base building and similar features to Dark Crusade. There are the relatively "new" Dawn of War games but from what I have seen there is no base building which is a big part of what I like about RTS'.

If there's not much around, then I guess I'll just have to re-install DC at some point for some nostalgia

Company of Heroes - the first one, not the terribly average second one!

Not new but most certainly the best out there still imo!

I'm a big Dark Crusade fan and I have to recommend this as well, despite not having a lot of love for WWII games.
Not tried CoH2, but can't say I've heard good things.

CoH2 isn't so bad now compared to release! I play it a fair bit

There are some good mods on www.moddb.com for SupCom2 mate. Check them out if you have time they add a hell of a lot to the game.

How are the Supreme Commander games for single player campaign?

Pretty much on par with most RTS campaigns though they don't have particularly interesting stories.

SupCom FA's Skirmish battles are pretty great, especially if you have the Sorian AI mod.
