Anyone know of any good games, possibly free or cheap, that are like those Civilization or Age of Empire games? I’ve been playing Forge of Empires on Facebook (ew) and it makes me want to play a more complex game like this.
just wait till one of them gets cheaper, on search them for cheap somewhere. summer sale on steam will be soon I think. I don’t know of any like those and I feel like they are one of the best. So look for sales on Civilization V and age of empires 2 HD on steam.
I have bought the age of empires ll HD edition! there are also mods for it and a lot more groups of people and a lot of new sounds and textures ! worth looking at !
It’s a great game, but wayyyy too expensive ATM. With the steam summer sale coming out in a week or so, I’d hope it goes on sale
Have you tried playing Rise of Nation? The gameplay is similar to Age of Empires, except you can advance through modern/future age from the stone age.
There’s also Age of Mythology: Extended Edition…though to be fair, I wouldn’t say it is as successful as AoE II: HD is.
I recently fired up Steam and realised that I purchased Civilization V back in 2012 and I never really played it… so I’m going to play the hell out of this while looking into the other games mentioned above. <3
Edit: (editing sucks here) And I have the Tropico collection too! I really need to open Steam more often.
Edit 2: Speaking of Civilization, is anyone else disappointed with VI’s art style?
The art style does look a lot more cartoonish than previous games.
Halo Wars.
Halo War is a very enjoyable game but I really dislike the base building system. In the game’s alpha or beta it was more like C&C but sadly they changed it to what we have now.
I downloaded the Halo Wars 2 beta but I’m not impressed. I’ll buy it when it’s cheap after launch.
Don’t !!
Civ V is good but it’s the most addictive game I’ve ever played ! I can’t sleep before 6am anymore
True. Both Civ5 and AoE2 are very addictive
“Age of Empires” or “AoE Online” can’t remember the proper name is free to play.
As for face book games, Stronghold kingdoms on steam. But it’s one of those awful ones where you buy a building and have to wait 24 hours for it to be completed. Also it has a lot of bad reviews where they say it’s pay to win and newcomers stand no chance.
Other good RTS games.
Empire Earth, EE 2
Stronghold, stronghold Crusader HD
Total War: Warhammer
Total War: shogun 2
Rise of nations
Rise and fall: civilization at wars
Why not buy civ4 for like $4 cd key, i just did that last night funnily enough, its meant to be the better civ game though older.
Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri
