I'm looking for a game, it can be old, so I can play multiplayer with my brothers on pc. I'd like to stay away from magic, world religions, and weird "wonders"(for example, false gods). Is there any type of game out there like that? Thanks for your help.

I haven't played the campaign so I don't really know the storyline, but Starcraft II has free online, 1v1 all the way to 4v4, plus a ton of amazing mini games that are more fun that the real game. I recommend that to anyone.

Does Star Wars fall under any of the taboo categories? Galactic Battlegrounds was designed with the same engine as AoE, so the gameplay is almost identical.

That's exactly the type of game i'm looking for. I'll have to look it over better, but it looks right on. Thanks.

I used to play regular starcraft, but trying to switch to something else.

Just to let you know, I'm trying to sell a complete copy of AoE III, with the manuel and everything. Just in case you're interested.

Homeworld. Old, so you might be able to find it cheap. If not, shoot me a pm and we'll work something out.

Korunks · « **Reply #8 on:** November 04, 2010, 02:02:53 PM »

Homeworld is awesome. I think they released the code, so you should able to get it free. When I get home I'll dig up a link.

Daniel TS RED · « **Reply #9 on:** November 04, 2010, 02:44:54 PM »

Awesome. So it's free to download because of being so old? Sounds great, please post the link. I tried the demo of the Star Wars game and it seemed pretty good. So i'll like to compare the two games.

Age of Empires 3.
Fun, online, non-sadistic, challenging game.

I personally hate AoEIII with a passion they messed up that game so bad...civilization is amazing BUT homeworld is just as awesome:

AOE II Best PC game. EVER.

Is homeworld for mac?

Korunks · « **Reply #15 on:** November 04, 2010, 07:53:06 PM »

They might have a compiled copy, they can build it from source.

Galactic Battlegrounds is nice. Only thing is, adding air units to a game that previously was ground-only kinda defeats the purpose of walls.

It takes a little while before you can build air units, and by then, every good wall comes with Anti-Air Turrets.

The Schaef · « **Reply #18 on:** November 05, 2010, 09:35:46 PM »

Yeah, but the point is, the walls aren't nearly as effective as they were in AoE2, when you did not have the option to just sail over them unhindered. It changed the balance of the game units/structures.

And was really entertaining when your friend forgets that in a LAN game.

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #20 on:** November 06, 2010, 05:57:17 AM »

Anti-Air Turrets with homing missiles ftw!

There are air units in Galactic Battlegrounds, which is the Star Wars version of AoEII.
