Warlords series was my first strategy experience, and of them I had the most fun with 4. The mechanic of building up and investing in your hero throughout the campaign was so engaging, and was the first i had seen in this style. GOG please save this game!!
My best "come back to" game. I used to play it many many dozens of times on my old pc. The mechanic of building up and investing in your hero throughout the campaign was so engaging. Also the maps were many and varied.
It was a relatively easy game to get into with zero previous experience. And the turn-based logic allowed you to play in a relaxing way. But while mechanics seemed simple, the graphics, sound and the design of the units kept you engaged.
I had my favorite units (pegasus, if I remember correctly). And I still remember the phrase "watch the sky" said in that exact voice in the game.
Dune II - The Battle for ArrakisDune II is often considered the first mainstream modern real-time strategy game and established many conventions of the genre. Even though set in Frank Herbert's famous Dune universe, the game is only loosely connected to the plot of any of the books or the films based from them. Controlling either of the three Houses, the player must fight a number of battles against the other Houses. In the early levels, the goal is simply to earn a certain number of credits, while in the later missions, all enemies must be destroyed.
The single resource in the game is the Spice, which must be collected by harvesters. The spice is converted to credits in a refinery, which are then spent to construct additional buildings and units. There are two terrain types: buildings can only be constructed on stone, while the Spice is only found on sand. However, units moving on sand attract the large sandworms of Dune, who are virtually indestructible and can swallow even large units whole. As levels progress, new and more advanced buildings and units are made available, including structures like a radar station, a repair facility or defense turrets and, for units, various ground troops, light vehicles and tanks. Each House can construct one unique special unit, and, after building a palace improvement, can unleash a unique palace effect.
