With the advent of the first game consoles, games in the “strategy” genre captivated tens of thousands of people in just a few years, thereby giving rise to a lot of debate about which of them are the best of their kind. PC strategies have continued this good tradition, and to this day, dozens of companies producing computer games argue among themselves over the palm in the nomination.
TOP in the world of games
TOP, or, in other words, “fan sympathy statistics”, is nothing more than an expression of approval from players who adhere to a particular genre. If we talk about strategies, then even in such a narrow profile TOP can be divided into: the best military, historical and best economic strategies. Of course, in one way or another, they enter each other, but sometimes the difference is obvious. So, what are the best strategies on the PC for the fans, regardless of gender, age and outlook.
Third place
According to the famous Igromania magazine, the third place in the list of "Best Strategies on PC" is rightfully occupied by the undying WarCraft cycle. The fact is that Warcraft is not just another stamping with an interesting system for the development of economic and military crafts, it is also a whole world that is constantly developing and not standing still. This is its own story, and the nature of each individual character, and an exciting story. In general, Warcraft, even despite a long stagnation and a rather outdated engine, to this day holds rather tightly on third place in the list of sympathy of players.
Second place
This is where things get a little more complicated. Already by tradition, the right to take second place in the nomination "Best Strategies on PC" is divided among themselves by various strategies with an economic bias. For a long time, a very popular series of StrongHold games held this position due to its complex system of socio-economic interconnection, which enabled the player to feel the whole burden of feudal power on his own skin. At the moment, the second place is divided among themselves, not a bit inferior to each other, the famous historical series of the medieval game theme “Medieval: Total War” and another large-scale military colossus of the cosmic character “Suprime Commander”. A distinctive feature of these games is a complex combat system with a huge number of units (troops) and a bias in the realism of warfare.
First place
And, strangely enough, “Warhammer 40,000: Soulstorm” became the best of its kind strategy combining the harmonious management of the economy, army and scale of wars. Frankly, no one had expected anything new from Warhammer, but the developers still managed to surprise not only fans of the series, but also avid skeptics, adding a whole bunch of additions to the rather dull series of location fighting. First of all, the arena of war was expanded, but on a grand scale! Now you can play not even on one planet, but in an entire planetary system, choosing from eight available races what you like. A detailed system for pumping heroes of each race, a well-thought-out system of economic and military correlation of Soulstorm is simply amazing, for which it takes its deserved first place.
Epilogue
Of course, the opinion of the fans is not all, and it is always difficult to choose from dozens, or even hundreds of great games, only the best strategies. On a PC, unlike consoles, it is even more difficult to do this, in many respects thanks to a more convenient management interface that allows you to feel like a real commander, on whom fate sometimes depends not only on humanity, but also on the whole world!
