First time trying these sort of games - don't think they're as cool as MMORPGs, but just wondering whether I could branch out and give other genres a try. Has anyone tried the Real Time Strategy game called Travian as well, or maybe both, and how do they compare? Any pointers for games like this? Good or bad experiences you have with these games? Am thinking of joining Travian and see whether it interests me. Play in a Huge Universe with Thousands of Players. It's just my first week though, but at least I'm still okay with it. Astro Empires is a highly addictive Space Strategy Game in real-time. I used to think stat-heavy games were all calculations and low on the fun factor, but Illyriad is on the slower side, and you don't need to constantly watch your back,so it's very relaxed, but in-depth as well. I did a bit of snooping into the Real Time strategy genre, looking more at browser-based games, and I found a decent game review at Massively Joystiq and I decided to give the game a whirl. I only heard about it recently, from a friend in North America. Seems like it's pretty popular in Europe, but less so in Asia, or at least SouthEast Asia. Have any of you guys ever played Travian? What do you think about the game? I've been told it's pretty popular and quite interesting as well. When it comes to Real Time Strategy games that are browser-based.
I like Tekken, but it seems that in fighting games, there's no real "WOW" when it comes to innovations, nothing that shakes you and makes you drop your jaw in amazement. I'm a big fan of RPGs in general - that's my favorite genre! I find that there are two genres that are not as "popular" nowadays - fighting games and real time strategy games.
