I think Starcraft has enough fame that nobody even has to mention it anymore
and it's probably too much Sci-Fi for OP.
Starcraft: Broodwar is a timeless gem of course, could just use a better HD-Mod than the buggy available ones.

He would like, not a requirement per say. Plus honestly, whats the setting in an RTS? Just pixels differences... For GOG specifics Celtic Kings isnt bad, just picked it up myself. Lords of the Realm 2, Knights and Merchants have some more depth than your standard RTS. I also enjoy Cultures and Nations.

And from Tzar you get two Seven Kingdoms, also available on GOG. It plays a lot differently than Warcraft, it's certainly more complex, but it kinda has a bit of that Warcraft 2 feel to me.

Battle Realms is the closest thing to Warcraft in GOG's catalog.

Oh yeah? Well, challenge accepted!

...three hours later...

Damn, you're right.

The Warlords Battlecry series comes closest, especially the third one, which is more story-driven .

Thanks to all for the recommendations.
The reason that I´m asking for fantasy rts is for my nephew. He hate strategy and rpg..but now, he is playing Clash of Clans in his mobile. And now I´m trying to play with him a true RTS.
But to not scare him, Im searching for games with graphics like Clash of Clans, and I dont know why, but the first game I think when see the graphics is Warcraft :P
Of course I have a original CD of warcraft 2, 3 and starcraft, and some more games, like age of empires, settlers, and some more complicated like Civilization. But I only one of every game, and I cant play multiplayer.

Thanks again, I will see some gameplays and images of the recommended games.

I would of suggest it but it doesn't fit well with the type of game style.

As good as it is, trying to find a copy of the game without getting ripped off is comparable to making Frodo's journey to Mount Doom. OK, not the best analogy, but it is very hard to find a cheap retail copy nowadays. As for the licensing, even if the rights were sorted, that would still be no good, because the current rightsholder (Warner Bros) has not signed up with GOG.

Like books... thus the bookstore! But indeed, sometimes you find games in the weirdest places. Ages ago I really wanted to get Army Men 2 and was unable to find a copy anywhere. Eventually I discovered it at a "fantasy shop" specializing in tabletop games and RPGs that never seemed to have more than three or four PC games on display (and usually banned ones - that was back in Germany... and having them on display was probably illegal :P).

i suggest u to try Palm Kingdoms 2, trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=QUlMVm72cD0

Kohan

.... and it would have ended the thread if it was on gog :)


(edit : or not, because it can be considered closer to 4X than RTS)

Not to be too OT or possibly trolling, but is that seriously the best name they could have come up with for that game? XD It looks great and I'm sure it is, but a different title is needed. :P

Oh yes! Give me the Kohan games GOG they need your magic touch! I still haven't found a way to play Kohan: Ahriman's Gift with 32 colours on win 8.1. :(
