The RTS Debate, everyone has there favourite Options

[Glasseater]

all the talk in the v17 feedback got me thinking about good RTS games.
what is everyones favourite?
Mine has to be starcraft just because it is so balanced while each race is still quite unique.
let the debate begin

Actually if you're talking CNC:ZH for a turtle, it's usually painful but in a 2v2 scenario a common tatic is to get someone as AIR and someone as GROUND

The Air strikes out the defensive structures (Rockets/Gunners etc) then the ground force overwhelm what mobile units they have... or if you're the GLA, just do small attacks until you build up the sneak attack and then pop in the backdoor for LOLz...

another tatic, a friend slipped a spy into my base and whilst I was busy trying to get in his front door, he aquired my entire power supply system through claiming all my structures! god that pissed me off to no end. so i shot that little bastard and claimed all my structures back! but it took time and it made me rangry

The "Super Weapons"....
USA was a "particle canon"
GLA was either "Missile Attack", "Toxic Missile Attack" or something else..
CHINA was clearly a NUKE (as if you didn't see that one coming?)

that was always my trick, went GLA with just heaps of defense while they attacked. them thinking im am a noob (i am at RTS) they kept next to nothing covering there base.

secret tunnel into middle of base and 6 rocket guys and i wiped him out
