What is the best Military RTS? Gunna buy a laptop soon and want

Not exactly /his/ but Knights and Merchants is nice if you can tolerate the late DOS era graphics. It's available on Steam

Sudden strike

>>1250051
Oh, and if you want military then I recommend the Wargame series

Also, pirate Paradox games because they don't deserve anymore shekels

I never knew that Mexico used Sherman tanks.

boring excel shit
if you want actual GAMEPLAY in your videogames try the total war series

the strategy part tends to be a bit weak sometimes due to the enemy AI but it's still the best we have in this genre

Kill yourself casual babby

The real things were "boring excel shit"

>>1250205
Yeah you should actually kill yourself, opinions that casual and normie have no place on 4chan

Depends on the era.
The Total War Games will always be my favorite. If you haven't played them id recommend starting with Shogun 2, it's the easiest to learn, or medieval 2 if you don't mind the dated graphics. Rome 2 is decent with mods, empire is decenct with mods, Napoleon is good, Rome 1 is good (but dated), and I hate Atilla but a lot of people like it.

Surprised nobody mentioned Graviteam Tactics yet, as far as realism goes it's a pretty good division-level command game with decent graphics. Steep learning curve, but probably easier to learn than HOI.

EU is legitimately amazing I wontt deny it. Rome 2 clearly made a small effort at copying it

Literally downloading EB 2.2 right now

Wargame Red Dragon

I was really hyped for HoI IV

What's actually bad about it?, I was hoping it would be more like a successor to HoI II
