https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wv8uFPMhNIgytv4D35hJLMoCO659YO3PGYKZB460ABg/edit?usp=sharing Hey, I made a bullet-point history of strategy games if that sounds like something interesting to you!
@curls I started with lists of critically acclaimed or popular strategy games and then dove into Wikipedia to try to find out what influenced them. After a certain point I try to make sure there’s at least one game a year. Plus I included some of my favorites!
I’ll check out those two games to see if they should go on the list...
@KommaChameleon I personally think that game was pretty unique in how it integrated voice control. You didn't have free control on the camera and relied mostly on scouting to be able to see the enemy. The compromises and changes made it play a lot differently to other RTSs.
@curls Just to follow up: Battle for Middle Earth definitely belongs on here for the C&C connection and the EA_Spouse labor lawsuit.
I think I'll skip EndWar since it got mixed reviews and poor sales (although it's still cool if it's a game you like!)
