Introduction
Trying to imagine a time without real-time strategy games is perhaps a bit like trying to imagine a time before the World Wide Web: We all know it existed, but as gamers, we can't quite understand how we got along back then. Today, real-time strategy is a staple of many people's gaming diets, and publishers regularly turn to real-time strategy as a primary vehicle for development ideas. Quite an achievement for a genre that didn't even exist for the first 15 or so years of computer gaming. Early computer strategy games adhered firmly to the turn-based concepts of their board game ancestors, where--by necessity--players had time to plan their turns before their opponents had a chance to move. Real-time strategy changed all of that so that games would begin to more closely resemble reality: Time was limited, and if you wasted yours, your opponents would probably be taking advantage of theirs.

While it's generally understood what constitutes a certain type of real-time strategy game, it's worth defining the genre to avoid confusion. Although games such as Populous and SimCity are certainly played in real time, these give rise to the "god game" genre, which includes such titles as the city-builder series from Impressions, Will Wright's innovative designs, and much of Peter Molyneux's work, including the upcoming Black & White. Games in this genre tend to appeal to their own fans, and while there definitely is an overlap between these two genres, gamers generally see them as distinct from one another. For the purposes of this history, our focus will be on the games that are generally understood to be in the "harvest, build, destroy" mode that we've come to know and love. This excludes games like BattleZone, which fits more into the first-person genre.

Westwood's chief creative officer and cofounder, Brett Sperry, is one of the pioneers of the real-time strategy genre. He offers some insight into its christening: "A lesser-known fact was the official genre naming that was going to be used to explain the game to the press and players. It wasn't until some time after the game was in development that I decided to call it 'real-time strategy'--it seems obvious now, but there was a lot of back and forth between calling it a 'real-time war game,' 'real-time war,' 'wargame,' or 'strategy game.' I was deeply concerned that words like 'strategy' and 'wargame' would keep many players from even trying this completely new game dynamic. Before 1992, wargames and strategy games were very much niche markets--with the exception of Sid Meier's work--so my fears were justified. But in the end, it was best to call it an 'RTS' because that is exactly what it was."

What follows is the first part of a retrospective look at how this spectacularly popular genre got its start and developed into a major force in gaming today.

Take me to the earliest days

Warhammer- Best darn space statergy ive played. Gud enough to challenge even Starcraft ( Expansion Winter Assalut)

Then play starcraft broodwar & warcraft III FT...you will love those....:yes: :yes: :yes: ;)

[zerocool]

Yesterday i've downloaded and played Stronghold Legends......it's a reall carp..do not download it, i repeat do not download it...:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Compared to Stronghold II Stronghold Legends sucks big time....i'm not sure about the gameplay but graphics are horrible.....:eek: :eek: :eek:

Sometimes when a classic game evolve in to 3D gameplay and graphics are sucks big time....i dont know why. However there are companies who have the ability to give cool 3D games like Blizzard, EA and Ubisoft...:yes: :yes: :yes:

[sridanu]

Im downloading a torrent from http://bitsoup.org...im getting 110kbps+ from the office 2mb line. :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:

machan im also registered @ bitsoup. So can u send me da torrent file for Warhammer:Dark Crusade?

p.s- i think this one's also an expansion... u might need the original game to play it

[Anusha]

Just because you are registered at bitsoup.org doesn't mean that you can share torrents just like that. The torrents you download has a tracker address no? That tracker address has your login information. So when you download using that torrent, the download/upload details will go under the real owners account. If you download more than you upload, it will be bad for him, because bitsoup enforces you to have high download to upload ratio. If you have downloaded about 10GB, you need to maintain 100% ratio.

Besides, same account should not have different ip addresses at the same time. You might get banned if that is the case.

If you have an account, why don't you log into that site and search for the torrent you want. Zerocool might be able to provide you with the torrent's name if you don't know what you are looknig for.

[Anusha]

By the way, does anyone know a good modern technology strategy game? I don't like ancient games, even if it gets to modern age eventually.

Yeah!!! I think most of the people would agree that StarCraft is actually a great game, the storyline also nice!!! Definitly my all time fav.

And one more game COMMANDOS... I persoanlly liked it a lot... Stunning graphics from EIDOS & PYRO studios, and the all the missions were great varying from easy to dead hard ha..ha..

And unlike in most of the strategy games when designing the maps of COMMANDOS should be more harder bacause details should be accurate and simillar to the locations you will find in WWII.. And so they've done a great job with maps/locations... FULL CREDIT to that!!!

And the characters with their own unique set of skill makes it more interesting!! (I personally loved the SPY)

COMMANDOS was nice but then when it comes to fantacy/fiction strategy gaming its BLIZZARD. But as some of you already mentioned from StarCraft to Warcraft was sucsessful move no doubt........ yet they fail to impress most gamers with graphics!!!

Anyway that's how I see... More later

Happy gaming guys!!!

[Anusha]

I loved Generals and Generals: Zero Hour. These are the type of strategy games I want to play.

[Anusha]

I've played the last two Commandos titles. They were good, but not the same type as Generals.
