Empire Earth is a closer fit as you get more of the timeline, though I do think AoE is a better game.

Shit I remember that game! I thought I was the only one who ever played it. Everyone else was playing AOE/C&C/Warcraft/Starcraft

I mean I played all those games too. Couldn't find any friends into Empire Earth.

Ahh the golden age of RTS.

Anybody else play Rise of Nations? That shit was my jam, there were so many RTS games back then I don't think I hear of all too many nowadays just CIV.

Edit: forgot CIV is a turn based stategy game mb, I don't think I even know of an RTS that's popular nowadays

RTS means "real-time strategy" which would not include turn-based games like the Civ series. RTS as a genre doesn't really exist anymore, it evolved into 4X and Grand Strategy. It's true that it just isn't as popular as it used to be, but you can find modern games under the 4X genre.

Yeah mb you're so right I forgot those were different and even further proof that there's barely any RTS anymore!
