Good RTS games for Linux?


I am a total fan of Real Strategy Games. One of the things that make me go back to Windows are games like Rise of Nations and Age of Mythology which dont work on Linux. I play AOE2 but you can get tired after a few months of playing. So I am wondering, are there really good RTS games, at least at a similar level fo AOE2 or Rise of Nations? Even if I have to pay I would get it! There are some promising RTS games out there like Boson, but they just don't fill my strategic needs . So, if anyone knows of one, real good, please let me know.

PS: Btw, don't mention Freeciv or any turn-based games. I like them, but I prefeer the constant action of RTS games!

Yeah, RTS = Real Time Strategy. Well, I am going to get Tribal Trouble, sounds like a cool, neat game =P. I had seen Battle of Survival before but I am not too fond of the top view of the Stratagus engine. Any more games people? =)

Glest is a very well made RTS that isn't perfect, but is making great strides. The homepage is www.glest.org and you can find an excellent Loki Installer package for installing it at www.liflg.org

Glest! I forgot I had that game here. But the problem is it does not want to run in full screen. Anyway for it to run Windowed?

You should be able to just edit the config file and change Fullscreen=1 to Fullscreen=0
