Spec me an RPS

Role-Playing Strategy.

I seem to have a need to play a game that doesn't exist lol. I'm talking about an RTS with an RPG element, like WC3 with heroes. The later Dawn of War games with the commander's wargear rewards are similar to what I'm after. DoW2 is right on the knocker but lacks the base building. Savage was good but not quite what I'm after, since it segregated the RTS and RPG parts.

So, any ideas of what I could try? Want an WC3 format game, with a hero who levels/gets upgrades etc, but still traditional RTS base building/force building etc.

Plz help!

look at demigod maybe something like that eg dota?

im pretty sure that one of the lotr games was like that, it was the one that came out just before battle for middle earth 1 but it was based more on the books than the movies
i think it might have been called war of the ring but im not sure

battle for middle earth

 

[MajorMaccas]

LOTR BFME probably fits the bill, I never really got into it though.

I'm sure if you look around enough you'll be able to find an RTS with character progression, it's a fairly obvious direction for the genre to take.

i was going to suggest bfme but i thought he was looking for a game where the heroes can use items and things, if its just leveling then bfme2 is a excellent game
