Rts Bucket List

A galactic map of real-time land and space battles, with the Death Star able to remove a planet from it.

Rome added to the 1997 original, with four campaigns and the units that fixed its worst balance.

Red Alert 2’s expansion adds a third faction of mind control, and time travel to undo it.

Three Native American civilisations, war chiefs and fire pits; the first Age III expansion.

No Tiberium and no Nod - the USA, China and the GLA in a near-future war, on a new engine.

China, Japan and India, each winning by building a wonder rather than collecting one.

The expansion that ends the Tiberian Sun story, with CABAL turning on both sides.

Ensemble swap history for Greek, Egyptian and Norse myth: favour, god powers and a hydra that grows heads.

Nine generals with their own armies, and the challenge ladder that is still played competitively.

The Soviets erase Einstein from history, Japan appears in his place, and every mission is co-op.

The expansion adds the Atlanteans and the titan you spend the whole game trying to release.

The Third Tiberium War, the Scrin arriving mid-story, and full-motion video with a real cast again.

Kerrigan back as the Queen of Blades, with Zerg strains you mutate between missions.

Elite units with abilities on cooldown, and a campaign that rotates between three races; the one that ended the series.

Seven races fight over a map of Kronus province by province, with a commander who keeps his kit between battles.

Europe from 1087, with a Pope who excommunicates you and crusades to send the troublemakers on.

Four campaigns following one commander from the Italian campaign to Waterloo.

The Protoss retake Aiur and the trilogy closes, with a Spear of Adun to refit between missions.

Creative Assembly take the licence and put dwarfs, greenskins and a vampire count on the campaign map.

Base building removed for four squads you level up between missions; Relic borrow from Company of Heroes.

The 2000 original: a board-game Japan on the campaign map and thousands of ashigaru on the battlefield.

The Vortex campaign: four factions race each other to finish the same ritual first.

Capture points instead of resource gathering, and squads reinforced where they stand; Relic in 2004.
