What's the best TBS or RTS game for someone who has never played a single game in the genre?
I am overwhelmed by their complexity and skill curve.
I would recommend Pikmin to start you off.

Age of Empires II

civ 5 with expansions is pretty good
Try getting good.
For TBS I'd recommend FE7.
For RTS I'd like to say Warcraft 3 but maybe something like C&C might be easier. Really no "easy" entry points here.
A 2D C&C game because those are classic. Then I guess Wargame because I like that game.
Just choose one that looks cool and interesting to you because at this skill level all you can really do is follow >>344639930.
look up rts games on gamefaqs you fucking tool
planetary annihilation is a pretty easy rts to get into. There's only like 3 units per tier and it's all about macroing. They were giving it out for free a couple months back if you joined some bundlejew site

There's a lot of fun turn based strategy games out there.
>Final Fantasy Tactics
>Heroes of Might and Magic 3
>Heroes of Might and Magic 5
>Age of Wonders 1, 2, Shadow Magic and 3
>Endless Space
>Endless Legend
>Master of Orion
>Masters of Magic
>Dominions 4
>Disciples II
I'd recommend starting with Heroes III. It's still a very playable game by today's standards.
If you want an easy to get into TBS try out Advance Wars 1 and 2 on the GBA.
