Age of Empires 2. Not without its share of problems but I have more fond memories of playing it with friends than any other Strategy game. It was good when we could agree on what was OP (Koreans and Goths pretty much) then continue to play interesting matches against each other.
Rome: Total War and Red Alert 2 need to be mentioned as runner ups for me, both amazing titles.

Eh I kinda disagree as you can't really play a full defensive game, break the enemy army on your base defenses(as long as there strategically superior) As far as star-craft is concerned it's really only offensive play friendly. Don't get me wrong it's absolutely one of the best RTS's of all time but to imply it's the best ever made, would imply it would allow me to use all possible play-styles effectively as well.Wolfram01 said:
I would as age of empires, I liked the second best but there all very good.
Hmm...Chess does seem like a good strategy game. Not even ping spikes and frame skips can ruin that game.Kahunaburger said:
But what if you where playing a computer connected to a robotic arm over a W.A.N? OR via the internet to get to the arm.aprildog18 said:
My vote goes to Empire: Total War with one caveat: it's not that great without Darthmod Empire, and I only really enjoy the Late Campaign, but that Late Campaign is some of the most enjoyable strategy gameplay I've ever experienced.
You know, despite my dislike of both Empire and Napoleon, I still like Empire more. Napoleon removed the research aspect, and all the units fired the same way. In Empire, I loved watching the transition from mass fire to rank fire and fire and advance tactics. In the early stages of technological revolution, the new fighting stances were real game changers.A Weary Exile said:
I thought Napoleon's gameplay was a lot more balanced, had a sort of rock/paper/scissors thing that Empire *tried* to have but failed miserably at it. What I like about Empire is the huge theater of war with all the different continents and vastly different factions.Soviet Heavy said:
That and vanilla Napoleon lacks a "Sandbox campaign" where you can play with the entire world with whoever you want, which is the kind of campaign I like. TROM 2 fixes that somewhat, but I still prefer Empire's larger scale.
Ayuppers. Adds crap-tons of new units (Especially for Great Britain and France, the units can barely even fit on the UI >.>), makes it *way* harder, and makes non-playable factions (Like the Ottoman Empire and Sweden) playable.Soviet Heavy said:
The sheer volume and speed at which Huskarls are produced was the problem, also being able to do it from a normal barracks made it very easy to overwhlem an enemy with them.SecretNegative said:
What type of Strategy game?
Personally, the best Strategy game I've ever played was Civ IV: BTS. Good balance of being easy to use, but having depth to it too. It really was a great game overall, and it left me disappointed Civ V wasn't more similar. Eh, I still got Civ IV to play.

Civilization...
I'm not sure which version was the best. I wasn't very fond of 2 and 3, but the rest is awesome.

Best Strategy game ever made? Probably Master of Magic. There is a distinct lack of strategy games at the moment, the strategic part of Total War tend to clash with the tactical part. Among new games I'd say Hearts of Iron III is one of the best.
People tend to mix up strategy and tactics. Best tactical game ever made would be a tie between Jagged Alliance 2 and X-Com: Terror From the Deep. And those don't even count as tactical because they use skirmish scale. The Close Combat series were very good tactical games.
Among recent tactical/skirmish games Frozen Synapse is very good.

In the TW series Napoleon is one of my favorites as well, it does have a very good balance. The tactical battles also tend to be more varied for some reason. Shogun 2 has some good tactical battles as well, but the campaign map is boring, and tends to revolve around city-hopping.A Weary Exile said:
Gotta be Rome Total War.
Sure the later games in the series have refined and added features to improve it, but Rome just has something... special about it. This isn't nostalgia talking; I've just finished a two hour session on it and it's every bit as great as I remembered it being.
The battle AI sucks, but the real strategy happens on the campaign map.
