Spec me an RTS

Men of War: Assault Squad. It's 75% off on steam right now, came out earlier this year. Amazing world war 2 RTS. Compared to Company of Heroes there's more micro managing involved.

i bought that and couldnt get into it at all...it just seemed so crap after playing the likes of coh, supcom, C&C, dow

More microing than coh, damn that must he hard

It's stupidly hard. You even have to micromanage the soldiers ammunition. It doesn't seem to make sense from either a realism or a gameplay perspective to me.

SC2 is good but be prepared to lose a lot unless you have time to practice. I personally didn't enjoy going back to rush tactics having played CoH for so long.
 
MOW Assault squad has far more strategy involved. in CoH its pretty much just spamming troops and the side which has more tanks usually is the winner. in MoW its the side which has the best strategy who will win the game.
 
Love COH, played it quite a bit online in the past(though not for a while). I found Starcraft 2 multiplayer hard to get into tbh, but i will probably give it a proper go at some point.

I am loving Civ V atm(though obviously it's not an RTS), not 100% sure about the AI but i could lose days to it, it's incredibly deep

Lol CoH is nothing like that, if your playing against decent people then you can't just spam troops nor tanks.
 
I find DOW 2 and its expansions enjoyable, I am however quite bad at rts games and I think its the simplicity of the game that I enjoy.

Playing SC2 I'm bewildered at the speed of things and the immense amount of management that needs to be done.

In DOW 2 I can relax a bit, there isnt any building to worry about as it is absent from the game. You only field a few squads at a time, rarely do you have to manage a ton of units unless youre playing against someone very poor.

In short, give it a go but if youre expecting it to be like dow 1 you will be sorely dissapointed.

totally false, you cant spam troops and have more tanks? you have to decide what to build to counter you enemy with limited resources, play some ranked automatch and you will find out that your spam strat wont hold up at all.
