[@devintucker1052]

Has to be one of the best list presentations ever. Wasnt just randomly naming games but actually had them lined up so they flowed together. 10/10

[@crazymetalord]

been gaming strategy since i was 5 from stronghold crusader / generals to modern aoe4, WH3 i can say by far out of all the best strategy game videos i've seen. Yours is the best one being fast, informative, clear and most important of all actually includes one of the best 27 strategy games.

Very straightforward video. Good taste in strategy games in my opinion!

[@ratsherr4980]

an RTS from Germany is also coming-2089 Space Divided-is still in development with the community

[@nikolamatasin3877]

I love it that you've mentioned Knights of Honor 2, that game is great. My other favorites (that haven't been mentioned in the video). Disciples 2, Rise of Nations, Endless Legend, W40k Dawn of War and expansions, I also love KKND2, but is it good? Dunno anymore.

[@evifnoskcaj]

Your transitions are so smooth and thoughtfully done. Great video!

[@Corusame]

Dune: Spice Wars received a big update recently including a conquest mode. Its a nice blend of RTS and 4x which I think is a lot of fun to play. The differences between the factions are also very lore appropriate in the Dune universe and fit really well. The devs have shown themselves to be very active in improving the game so got high hopes for the future of this one.

[@NukeThemAllGame]

I'm making my own indie RTS and would love to get covered on this channel! "Nuke Them All" is an exciting indie RTS game set to launch in 2024, and we've already released the Demo, which is why we're reaching out to Steamers. It's a unique game in the style of classic golden-era RTS titles like Z, KKND, and C&C Red Alert. The primary objective is to capture flags and territories, speeding up production, upgrading factories, and ultimately destroying the enemy fort! The demo is LIVE on steam!

[@NatronFatumallafalla]

Was warcraft 3 number one, and it was accidentally skipped or did i miss something?

[@NatronFatumallafalla]

Slash / StarCraft?

[@Nyxson]

There is no number 1 here, because it's not rankings, it's a list. As for Warcraft/Starcraft, they are no doubt fantastic strategies, but this list is mainly focused on newer games, because they are more accessible to newer players

[@NatronFatumallafalla]

@@Nyxson ahh ok..yeah I need to check out these new games

[@yodua8193]

alternatively to Rome 2 I'd suggest Medieval 2, although it's older and the units can occasionally feel unresponsive it has one thing that, in my opinion, makes it better - all factions are unique. In Rome 2 most factions feel like a copy of each other, while in Medieval 2 (with some exceptions) all factions feel very different to play, for example Poland has a very strong cavalry, making field battles very easy, but they lack good infantry, which means sieges will be much more difficult. There's Spain, who struggle a lot in early game but have really strong units in late game, etc. If you're gonna play it I'd suggest modding the diplomacy, in vanilla it's confusing and sometimes even annoying. It's only changing like 3 numbers in the config so you shouldn't have a problem with it (there are tutorials for it) If you're willing to mod the game though, TW Atilla might be the best choice, because it's the most modern one and will feel the best to play

[@matthewmatyszczak1024]

I picked up against the storm and star wars empire at war. (And the paragon grand strategy bundle for europa 4 and hopefully stellaris (which I’m in the process of trying to get). So far, I’ve only played Against the storm and I like that it is bite-sized. I tried rimworld and ended up returning it because, though I’m sure it’s amazing, I could see playthroughs taking a ton of time which intimidates me. Against the storm works great on the deck and I’m excited to delve deeper into it!

[@VCE4]

Great list Maybe there be another one but with less popular and known games

[@kitolho]

[@zoltanhorvath3743]

[@GEE_BLACCK]

For a recent list, one of the best strategy games is Gates of Pyre; every StarCraft fan will love it.

[@Nyxson]

What are you talking about? Is it even out yet?

[@GEE_BLACCK]

@@Nyxson It had a playtest this month

[@MusicPlayingPeon]

I do know Rimworld and love it. I would add Battle Brothers to the list personally.

[@swietytomasz]

Stellaris is a bit overwhelming at start because it punches you with the amount of UI elements altering and monitoring really few factors/resources, but these mechanics are in fact very simple and easy to learn and ignore most of the time. Also it's visuals and music are beautiful And as with other Paradox strategies i strongly advice to just embrace the defeat. You play them to experience an emergent story.

Well done with the video 👍

[@DanIel-fl1vc]

Anything warcraft or warhammer just makes you think of fat bearded nerds, lame shallow storytelling that wants to be lord of the rings but fails to live up to a Saturday morning cartoon show, and big shoulder pads. It's an insult to strategy to say any of those things nourish thought and strategy.

[@DaSanni1986]

very nice list. Thank You :)

[@Erectus1]

I keep forgetting I have most of these games in my library every time I watch these videos.

[@banterabc5135]

Rome 2 is good, blood&gore dlc is essential and should have been included. Starcraft also had a remaster and a cartoon cover and is still to this day one of the most played games (especially in Korea) i'm addicted to Mecabellum and i'm still playing CNC Generals (which also has a new fan made follow up) i didnt even knew i already have Nebolous and Planetory Annihilation

[@whiteowl1137]

Thank so much, very great video ma friend :)

[@jacobpaces9800]

Wow! Excellent list, man.

[@fleecyproduct2497]

Good stuff … some games I wasn’t aware of.

[@sunguralpsolpan5883]

Battle for Middle Earth series should be in here somewhere man. Cool list though...

[@Asuperwierdant]

The fact that all of my faoare on here is amazing, i love nebulous, supreme commander, stellaris and hoi4❤

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Mount & Blade Bannerlord. If it's not a strategy game, what is it then? Yeah the strategy side in it sucks, but the battles, combat, there it shines. And you do need to have your empire to have that army. Endless Legend. Warlords III Darklord Rising. (Older same series also great: Warlords 2 Deluxe and the original Warlords).

[@mattewtop1857]

Also "The wondering village" is a very chill game, quite similar to Timberborn for the survival mechanics

[@mr.n476]

i also want to add Northgard and The Battle of Polytopia.

[@tonipetrovic8905]

STRONGHOLD is not on your list,that is my favorite most realistic strategy Game of all time

[@SalamaAhmed-pj3jv]

Yes, especially Stronghold Crusader 2 and Warlords. They are amazing.

[@MrZelegor]

Top 30 would contain: - Knights & Merchants 2 (or the remake version) - Tropico 2 The Pirate Cove - Farthest Frontiers

[@yoanngrudzien2588]

Great video! I would however have included Starcraft 2 because of course, how can anyone make a llst of the best strategy games without it, as well as Endless Legend, which is in my opinion the most fun of 4X games, by the same studio that made Endless Space and Humankind.

[@mariuszhanc9716]

pity that the game "SunAge" was not developed further because it had a huge potencial looking at how you can fight in it

[@hipermlexon]

I have vever played strategy games but i wanted to start. Could anybody tell me which one is the best for beginners pls?

[@Nyxson]

Difficult to say... what setting do you prefer? Historical? sci-fi? do you like geography? Tell me more about yourself and your gaming preferences

[@hipermlexon]

@@Nyxson First of all I play xbox series x and ps5 consoles. I consider civilization 6 or anno 1800. I prefer to be focused on economy and I would like to avoid battles if it is possible. Sorry for my english i hope I you know what I ment to...

[@Nyxson]

@hipermlexon Interesting... Those are good choices, however, I would choose Anno over Civilization, since Civilization series do have a combat. So Anno is a good choice. I can also suggest Cities Skylines if you like modern city building (first game, not Cities Skylines 2, not yet). I can also suggest Dyson Sphere Program if you like scifi and like building complex systems, And Timberborn, if you don't mind city building with beavers

[@hipermlexon]

@@Nyxson Many thanks for your advices man! Also for Great videos on ur channel.

[@ratsherr4980]

2089 Space Divided

[@chrisbarker5336]

Steam sale on all strategy games until September 4th. Go go go

[@gstellar96]

A couple of RTS games to throw on the list - Dawn of War 1 + 2 -Command and Conquer series -Iron Harvest -Crossfire Legion

[@Tocy777isback0414]

I wish there were more games in the vein of C&C

[@beaztfx]

@@Tocy777isback0414 look for 9-bit armies and tempest rising these games are coming soon they are like c&c | in the 9-bit armies game there are even some old devs from westwood studios workin there

[@FrslyCnfsd]

[@markpelayo]

During your live Nick. I promise I will say StarCraft should be in the list. 😅

[@PoczciwyDominik]

Original War game is on the top of the best RTS games, but the problem of this game is it is not very popular, look at this game

[@MrFox...Xo_-X]

Sorry but, Total war Three Kingdoms is lot funnier than Wh and Rome 2

[@buddi3z]

It is a sin that command and conquer kanes wrath is not on here

[@Aurinkohirvi]

Old, but so good, if you like fantasy strategy, you will love it. And you probably don't know it. Sword of Aragon. Check it out, you will not be sorry.

[@fakerolnando]

Personnal Top 1 : Chess -Free - Less to no RNG -No real p2w ( I know there is pay for courses but yeah... ) -High depth gameplay -Have many modes ( variants ) -Hard to master -Supported by your parents -Can be play irl or online -Run on even worst pc and if you want RTS, not TB ? Kungfu Chess !

[@Nyxson]

And it also has the best top title... "Grand Master"...

[@Aurinkohirvi]

BTW: Do try older Age of Wonders series games. I dare say, even though not as shiny in graphics, they are very good games. Age of Wonders 3 should be an amazing game. But somehow I find I rather play older AoW games.

[@ernestasgoberis9816]

Dawn of war series... How you do not mention it?

[@Matt-jk1kr]

Good video, i like the look of knights of honour 2.

[@CarterElkins]

It's a great game, I second the recommendation. Plays a lot like Total War games, but with a better campaign map, although the battles are much more simplistic. For Total War fans like me who prefer the campaign map gameplay, it's a chef's kiss.

[@Aurinkohirvi]

I was so waiting for Knights of Honor 2. But I decided not to buy it, because of the limited number of lords under the king's service and how must they are to have. First that only marshals can lead armies and their number is so limited. Second I heard that provinces where you have the economy lord (don't recall the name, governor/trader/whatever) increases this province's output hugely. multiplies it in fact. That sounded so immersion breaking I thought I don't want anything to do with this sh_t. And then later, I saw the combat fiasco and I was glad I skipped it.

[@Nyxson]

@Aurinkohirvi it's not the game that was bad, it's your expectations. That's why you don't get hyped for ANY game. However, to be honest, all the limited lords stuff, it is not really bad, it actually makes it quite manageable and forces you to play tall instead of just wide. It also adds interesting challenge to game. As for battles... yeah they suck, I never even go into battles anymore... and I couldn't have been happier. Try it

[@Aurinkohirvi]

@@Nyxson Sure you can enjoy the game but it is still a bad development choice to FORCE your hand with the artificial limit of marshals and merchants. I get it that it is a simple easy to learn game, but that doesn't justify bad features. I wish they had an option to remove them province and army leaders completely or nerf them, or increase their number. But I suppose their game engine can't handle it. In Civilization III the high corruption further away you were from the capital, rendered big empire cities unable to produce anything. In the real world colonial era sure you had to manufacture weapons (and armor) and ships in Europe, but colonial lands were not just something you took away from other players so they can't rise: they actually produced wealth and goods to the empires. Civ III corruption was a simple but bad attempt to balance the game, and so is KoH2 solution. If this artificial way to "play tall" is removed, and players can choose where to develop their economy and how many armies they can have, I would consider the game. Now I rather play the more difficult games.

[@Aurinkohirvi]

@@Nyxson Maybe modding can overcome some of what I consider design flaws (which I've seen only in game reviews) in KoH2. Gotta check that at some point.

[@Ealdorman_of_Mercia]

I've started playing Stellaris with all dlc's and have to stay it is impressive! Especially if you add mods that add more immersion (like more events, Amazing Space battles, Diplomatic Espionage mod,.eetc) Just dont add the Traits mod, it will slow down your game massively. Stellaris is really a huge game with so many things to do, I have to agree. Anything you can think of that might happen in a sci fi world, can actually happen lol... Especially that ultimate fear of Elon Musk ;) Im not going to spoil anything, suffice it to say, now I HAVE to try it with the Star wars mod (New Dawn).
