Dark Reign: The Future of War - Windows XP/98/95 game

Before its sequel, there was Dark Reign: The Future of War (1997), a forward-thinking RTS that introduced mechanics ahead of its time, like customizable AI scripts for units. The result was a game that demanded brains as much as reflexes. Set in a bleak sci-fi world where survival hinges on tactical resource grabbing, it offered a sandbox for creative strategists. While overshadowed by StarCraft, it earned a cult following for its innovative design. If you like your RTS games less about flashy cutscenes and more about deep gameplay, this one delivers.
