StarCraft was so good. I like protoss. And age of empires. That was my favorite type of games to play at lan parties.

Zerg!!

I was a zerg main on both SC and SC2. I spent quite a bit of time playing on SC2 2v2 arranged team ladder with a friend that was pretty good at the game. He dragged my incompetent ass to platinum rank at one point.

Zerg were cool. I never really liked the humans though. Kind of goes for real life too.

The 90s and early 2000s were the golden age of RTS. Warcraft series, Age of Empires series, Command and Conquer series, StarCraft. They don't make them like that anymore... Stormgate looks pretty promising, hopefully it does not disappoint.

Did you try AoE2 Definitive Edition or AoE4? I didn't play them much but I think they are pretty decent.

I think I only played the first one. I was way more into starcraft and warcraft 2 before that.

I played AoE 2 vanilla. But I didn't play too much AoE2 as I was really into StarCraft.

Back then, the Battle.net network was really quite ground breaking and I found other RTS games unable to compete for too much of my time without a similar network. Playing against computer is fun and all, but playing against other humans is where the real fun is at.
