Reply to My Current Top 5 RTS's in PC Gaming Sins Forums

1. Rise of Nations - The best rts that has come out, in my opinion. So much depth on so many levels. If theres any reason to complain, its that the micro can become a little overwhelming late-game.

Right now, i'm slightly leaning more towards Civ4 but i was wondering if you guys could tell me why Sins might be a better purchase. I'm especially concerned with balance and replayability. And, please don't tell me to just play
