Age of Empires<\/h4>\n<p>This title from Microsoft has become one of the pillars of RTS games. Dated back to the old days of earlier versions of Windows, it has managed to capture players with the intense gameplay, and evolution options at the time. The most famous is perhaps the second installment, Empires 2. The setting is based on historical events, characters and tribes, and it reflects quite honestly what happened. The balance is also really great, and the graphics has aged really well. This is one of the best RTS games ever!<\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/maxresdefault-3-3-e1477024047648.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/maxresdefault-3-3-e1477024047648.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"444\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29727 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"best rts games\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<h4>4. Warcraft<\/h4>\n<p>Another title from Blizzard, this game seems very similar to Starcraft, with different setting. The game is set in fictional medieval world, where many races battle each other, such as human, orcs, demons, etc. Besides the usual units there are also special heroes units which is much stronger and have many special abilities in combat. These heroes, and the settings are the based of a mod, which then has become one of the best MOBA in the world: DotA. It also inspired another MMORPG game from Blizzard: World of Warcraft, and recently has been made into a movie as well!<\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/warcraft_series_icons_by_d__monik-d97b5we-e1477024078930.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/warcraft_series_icons_by_d__monik-d97b5we-e1477024078930.png\" height=\"250\" width=\"380\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29728 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"best rts games\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<h4>5. Rome: Total War<\/h4>\n<p>This is also among the best RTS games of all time. Rome: Total War, as its name suggests, is based around the Medieval Europe wars, with Rome at its center. You will see many familiar historical figures such as Julius Ceasar. Also, one aspect that makes this game different from the rest is that, you will have to deal with politics too. Politics can make or break a country, as well as battles, and this game reflects that quite well. That is also why this game is loved by many!<\/p>\n<p><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/rome-e1477024107943.webp \"  type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pricepony.com.ph\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/rome-e1477024107943.jpg\" height=\"250\" width=\"497\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29729 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"best rts games\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/p>\n<h4>The 5 best RTS games: Test your strategic skills in real-time!<\/h4>\n<p>Those are some of the best RTS games of all time.
