RTS games for Linux?

Chargh · 08-07-2007, 10:41 AM

I have seen many people asking for stuff like, RPG games for Linux, or Story-Driven games for Linux. So I thought I may ask for RTS games for Linux.

So far I have tried Bos Wars, Boson, Globulation 2, Dark Oberon, and Warzone 2100 (Though I only installed Warzone recently). So far my favorite has been Bos Wars. Dark Oberon would have been interesting, but it is only Multiplayer.

I am looking for a game with gamepay like Age of Empires or Warcraft. A RPM or a .package installation would be preferred.

Age of Empires II runs just fine under Wine, so does StarCraft.

I'd recommend checking out Battle for Wesnoth and Glest. There are also turn-based strategy games like FreeCiv.

I usually http://happypenguin.org/ when I'm looking for new games.

I dont like turn-based. I have tried Wesnoth already and did not like it.

I have also searched through The Linux Game Tome a lot already.

Do borderline games like Liquid War count? Liquid War is a real-time strategic game; but there's only one type of unit and very limited control possibilities. In some sense, it creates its own genre for itself to be the only game of the genre. But it's a lot of fun.

Sure should. But it can be addictive.

I would play Liquid War but it seems to be Multplayer only.

Go to the players menu. You can set controls there. Click at player to cycle through Human - CPU - None.
