TA is that rare kind of RTS that strategy gamers like because of the level of planning and automation but i have noticed that the main pool of RTS fans tend to like the more 'hands on' style of RTS where it is more about how fast you can click and manage your forces, (and a noticeable absence of unit automation seems to be very prevalent, almost a requirement) and that type of RTS people like myself do not like as much, and so long as the market is focused in that direction, that is why they will never make a better game than TA. I'm still waiting for an RTS that is better than TA and I'm still waiting for a turn based strategy better than Alpha Centauri.īut i think possibly the problem with finding a better game than TA is what the market wants. Even though i have sticked with SC after a while (because was a great way to play on multiplayer) i consider TA the best RTS ever created. I have talked so much about this and i have experimented so much with both games, me and my friends, just to find out which one is the best that i have become a master in both :D.
