Well, if Dom3 doesn't win then their poll is rubbish since it's very clearly the best strategy game of the ENTIRE 21st CENTURY!

and the 20th, and maybe the 19th. When did Stratego come out? Stratego's a pretty find turn-based strategy game, IMHO

The problem is that its a POLL. The facts wont matter if the votes dont get in there.

Dom3 has been very well-recieved, but in a popularity contest it's very difficult to get enough write-ins for this kind of game. I'll personally be delighted if we get over 1000 votes. I hope that we win their rubbish poll, but clearly the deck is stacked against us.

I voted for Dom3. I must say that I really dislike the way RTS and Strategy games are mixed. RTS games are as much strategy as Pacman, with a few axceptions ofcourse.

The best (and only, as far as I'm concerned) RTS is Starcraft. That's the only one I'd put forth as a real hardcore "strategy" game.

Kohan: Ahriman's Gift was an awesome, strategic RTS--better than Starcraft IMHO. I can't vouch for the latest iteration of the series however--I've heard it was substantially dumbed down and lost the hardcore following that KAG had.
