This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

All right, name me another rts.

Well there's Age of Mythology, which had a definitive edition announced a couple of years ago, and which just today they made an announcement of an announcement (don't you love that those seem to be a thing now...) of more information coming up next month.

There's a new Company of Heroes game that came out last year, and a shockingly high-quality open-source RTS called Beyond All Reason, and an RTS-ish Dune game from 2022. None of these really appeal to me though, as I just love the gameplay style of the Age franchise. So I don't really know how strong they're going.

Last year also saw the release of the finished version of the massive Battle for Middle Earth 2 mod Age of the Ring. That's a game that you can't even buy any more, from anywhere, and it still has enough of a community to support that interest. (Admittedly, personally I would include BFME in the "rts games are all dead" category, but perhaps it's just not quite as dead as one would think.)

Aww, I don't know why you deleted your reply to my comment. It was funny as fuck!
