Can I get some rts recommendations for linux (not wine/winex)? Ebuilds are welcomed, but not required.

Thnx,
vinson

just in case you were wondering...

rts == real time strategy (i.e. warcraft like)

this being a gamers forum, that's probably common knowledge, but i got 9 views w/ no replies...

Uh, linux is a tad short on good rts' right now. Try the stuff based off of Stratagus. Magnant is pretty fun and Boson is coming right along.

More strategy games can be found at HappyPenguin.org

yeah, i knew there weren't many a while back, but i was hoping something had changed

how about non-free games that run under linux natively?

I am willing to pay if i have to.... just don't want to bother with Wine

Thanks,

The best RTS game that has ever come out is Savage Battle for Newerth and it comes Linux Ready out of the box.
