Best TBS/RTS Strategy Games?

[phrenik]

Would hunters 2 [or hunters 1 for that matter] be included here I believe it to be a TBS, and I have quite enjoyed it, albeit the campaign itself felt short, but there is enough to do with daily "contracts" - missions, not necessarily tied to the story. And Its nice to customize your "hunters" with various guns, armor, skill sets and to level em up.

I only just got into these in the IPAD arena [played a few on consoles] so I don't really have much else in mind, besides FF tactics.

Ravenmark, Battle for the Bulge, and Autumn Dynasty are all superb. They are my most played games.

Hunters 2 is an all time favorite of mine. Perfectly suited to a mobile device, I've put more hours into it than any other game. Easily over 150!

I highly recommend Hunters 2 to anyone who likes strategy. Tons of leveling up, and customizing to do, so you keep coming back for more. And the strategy really is deep here. It's not alike a lot of strategy games, where different units are really null, and you can just go crazy. Hunters 2 requires you to build a good tactical team with different skill sets, and then develop your very own strategy for winning. You can play any way you like, and there's no 1 strategy that works. As long as your team is equipped in line with your tactics, you should come out on top.

it appears most of the good RTS games have not been updated for the iphone 5 screen, not that it matters to some. i've yet to try autumn dynasty on the iphone (played extensively on the iPad) but I'd recommend it as the best overall RTS on the ios platform. i'd imagine the controls will translate well to a smaller screen.

total war: battles while not a true RTS but uses many RTS principles was also very enjoyable for me

If you don't mind, can you talk about the pros and cons of these games? I've been hovering over the buy button on both battle of the bulge and autumn dynasty but haven't pulled the trigger. Any insight would be welcome.

Haven't heard of ravenmark but if its in a class with the other two, please feel free to comment about it as well.

I can probably only get one at the moment...I would love some guidance.
