TOP 5: global strategies or "Being God"

What are good games of the genre of "strategy" and why they enjoy so much recognition of gamers and popularity? On the one hand, it can be global strategies that create the illusion of power, which test the player's knowledge in a wide variety of spheres of thinking, on the other, local ones, where the scale is not so important, but the military mechanisms for managing the economy and fighting are of great importance. But both in the first and in the second case, the player gets the opportunity to escape from the protagonism and prove himself on the scale arena as a leader.

So, now we will speak directly about Top, and the topic of our today's review: "The best global strategies." Go!

Fifth place

Global strategies on the PC, as an offshoot of the genre, have appeared relatively recently, but have already caught on to millions. And the most vivid representative of this type was Civilization, which combined not so much a mixture of war and economics as the scale of the influence of science on the development of mankind. In this game you will develop the chosen civilization from the level of the Stone Age to a high-tech superpower with the technology of flying into space and even more - contacts with extraterrestrial civilizations! The global strategy of the series of this game is quite wide in its profile, and everyone can pick up something to their liking - no matter historism or space is emphasized.

Fourth place

The next place in Top is rightly occupied by global strategies with a focus on full-scale wars in the distant future of the Suprime Commander series. All the charm of the two parts of these games lies in a complex economy of production and resource development, where it is required not so much to obtain a certain number of them, how to achieve a balance between the arrival-expenditure on providing armies and production. Developing from simple walking robots and combat vehicles of various types, you can later produce weapons that destroy entire planets, starting with nuclear ones and ending with huge orbital artillery complexes.

Third place

The first is the game of the medieval Strong Hold game, the essence of which lies in finding the most complicated balance in the management of cities and castles of that time. A rare but pleasant exception to this game is that gold here is not the main resource: in order to build and maintain your own castle, you will have to create jobs, extract stone, wood, marble, ore, food and other resources necessary for life and Only in the second place wage wars.

Second place

Global strategies can be large-scale, and may not be, but WarHammer 40,000 Soulstorm outperformed, probably all the territorial boundaries. War here takes place in a whole planetary system between the eight races, the leader of one of which you can become.

First place

And, undoubtedly, the best in the genre of "global strategy" is the Total War game series, which gives players the opportunity to control real-world states in real time mode: build armies, engage in economics and politics, spread religion and influence world history the way it is Soul and taste to any conqueror!
