<p>Personally, I really like Civilization 2 and Age of Empires 3, but Starcraft comes in a close second. How about you guys?</p>
<p>Age of Empires 2 and 3 are pretty good.</p>
<p>I got bored playing Age of Empires 2 a while ago, so I used some cheat codes. :P</p>
<p>Riskkkkkkkkkkkkk</p>
<p>For the computer: Age of Empires 2 and 3, Personally I like 2 more becasue of the historical asspect. Three looks really nice but thats about it.</p>
<p>Board Games: I'm not sure but Risk is a fun game but not that great for strategy since there is a lot of luck involved.</p>
<p>AOM is my favorite, but online its TOO addictive. Seriously five hours can go by in the blink of an eye, which is why I don't play anymore :)</p>
<p>Age of Empires 2 hands down. 3 is more flashy and less substance. Guys, you won't believe this, but in my World History class in 10th grade, pretty much all my knowledge came from this game, and previous knowledge. I didn't pick up my stupid book once :P</p>
<p>Warcraft III is by far the best RTS. It has the best micro scenarios and it combines the element of "heroes" from MMO into the RTS.</p>
<p>Risk is NOT luck-based. A skilled player is able to adapt to d\ifferent circumstances.</p>
<p>I, for one, am not a skilled player. :P My friend has almost never lost, though.</p>
<p>Risk and Starcraft.</p>
<p>Favorite strategy game?
Get the boy...</p>
<p>Actually, big surpise, I'm not really into strategy games. I will say I was pretty much obsessed with Age of Empires back in elementary though. I don't think I've played it since last summer.</p>
<p>Rome: Total War</p>
<p>If you dont play that game, you are missing out.</p>
<p>Starcraft.</p>
<p>best online strat game? Warcraft III HANDS down. maybe AoE 1 (only played first one) would come close.</p>
<p>Civilizations II and AOM, played those too, pretty garbage.</p>
<p>best REAL strat games? Risk... even though I suck, and chess, which I am actually decent at.</p>
<p>I cannot believe Starcraft has not been mentioned more often. Starcraft all the way.</p>
<p>starcraft XD</p>
<p>I suck0rz.</p>
<p>: (</p>
<p>Black sheep wall.</p>
<p>gotta go w/ starcraft, risk, and wciii.</p>
<p>Nothing has ever beat starcraft, I swear. I try everything new but eventually return to it.</p>
<p>3v3 hunter-gamei with koreans all the way. Their skill level is of incredible caliber. The only thing we ever type into chat are "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" to organize runs. Other than that, everyone is attentive to the minimap and their role in the team (teching, massing, etc). </p>
<p>My vote to starcraft for the best balance, teamplay, or skill. I'm up for a debate if anyone wants to argue WCIII > SC :D.</p>
<p>Kiti, do you know the cheat on starcraft for unlimited money and vespene gas?</p>
<p>Civilization 3 is the best. Civ4 is very good also.</p>
<p>I also liked Age of Empires 2. :) Very good games, classics really.</p>
<p>Civ2 is, I believe, like in the top ten best video games of all time, side by side with Zelda, Super Marios, etc.</p>
