Richb2004v2 Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I bought myself a new laptop about four months or so ago. It has reasonable game capability with a decent graphics card and processor. I haven't played a PC game for a long, long time and used to love the old strategy games, especially 'Age of Empires'. So I was looking for something similar and predictably ended up with the latest Age of Empires game 'The War Chiefs'. This is a 'back up' DVD and has the earlier games plus the new one. Anyway it turns out that they all work fine except the new one which asks for codes before starting. Thats the end of that idea. So, I am looking for a similar game to this to play. I played 'Tiberium Sun' on my 360 to the point of being stuck, so not that one. I would prefer something based on reality rather than Sci-fi, but any suggestions noted.

hanno Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Sim City franchise, Europa Universalis, Civilization, Medieval: Total War, Rise of Nations, Command and Conquer. I hope I won't get banned but it is actually fairly easy to get around the registration codes, a quick "Google" should do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_B Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Having read all the stellar reviews for Total War:Empire I'd say that this will be the strategy game to beat for this year Can't wait to play it (comes on 2 DVDs so will be a HUGE install!)

Moonrakers Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 The "stronghold" series is good in this genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjie Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 "Civ IV" or "Company of Heroes" would get my vote, I played Anno 1404 and that was quite good fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OM3N Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) Thirded for Civ4. Easily the most engaging turn based game ever made. You can replay it so many times! Edited December 22, 2009 by OM3N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
