About a year ago, I was given Warlords:BattleCry, a game that tries to be
'all things to all people' and comes surprisingly close to hitting the mark.
Warlords:BattleCry supports queueing of all kinds of actions, squads,
standing orders, formations, and several very different races. I like it
very much, and I think it's the closest thing I've found to a replacement
for TA. Unfortunately, as a friend of mine has pointed out, TA has
something else, some irreproducible magic that no other game has, and the
fruit of that magic is the community. It is pretty astonishing that the
Commander Pack still pulls big bucks on eBay.
And now for something completely different: Myth II is another of my
favorites, but it doesn't begin to replace TA, or even attempt to. It
creates a completely different genre, Real-Time Tactical. No factories, no
tech tree, no resources, just a few units and a very realistic physics
model.
