While I am not an RTS buff, depending on your internet connection from this Mac’s location, Geforce Now could greatly expand your options (basically most Windows games). You would be playing the games on a cloud server (and could switch to local saves if you ever get a Windows PC)

Not the same but StarCraft 2 is available on Macs and runs acceptably on my M1 Air. It probably runs quite well on M2 Max. Even though it’s seen as predominantly multiplayer game it has a very nice single player campaign with tech tree upgrades between missions.

I know there are many Total War and Paradox games on Macs but they don’t run well for me through Rosetta. Might be worth a try in your case.

Maybe 9 Bit Armies? I feel it’s more similar to C&C than RoN, but I loved the heck out of RoN back in the day and 9BA is pretty fun. The battleships are a hoot, they hit really hard and have range for days, which combines well with the destructible bridges.

Edit: Whoops, did not read closely enough to see you’re on a Mac. 9BA might work, this person seems to have had luck reddit.com/…/how_to_play_9bit_armies_on_macos/?rd…

There isn’t a historical element in 9BA but you do get air & naval units

I haven’t played rise of nations but from your description, you might like the core paradox games (crusader kings -> europa universallis-> victoria -> hearts of iron) despite their shitty dlc model. Currently, eu4 is on sale with all its dlc for ~£40, dlc isn’t very necessary for the other games. They are more grand strategy than 4x. You can use mods to convert saves and carry your campaign through the games. All together, they can cover all of human history (European, North African and West Asian medieval history and then the rest of the world from 1444 onwards). If what you like about rts is the unit micromanagement, you might want to go with victoria 2 rather than victoria 3, you will need victoria 2 dlc and it is a lot older.

If you want a 4x rts, stellaris is very good, but it isn’t based on human history.

thingsiplay, do gaming w Is Assassin's creed shadows going to be some free to play bullshit or will I be able to just buy it?

We don’t know. If I guess, it will be a full priced 69 Dollar game with 100 Dollar special edition for preorder. Other than that, Ubisoft is desperate and they said they won’t do this microtransaction shit they did before, so the integrity of the actual game is kept. I believe it when I see it, but that’s what they said. They even want to release it on Steam without the Ubisoft launcher on PC. Hell thats an improvement!

If the game truly has no bullshit, then I might check it out. Didn’t play an Assassins Creed since Black Flag on the Xbox 360. And I like Japan, so good oppurnity to hit me.

I'm a little behind, but I completed AC Odyssey and that was just buy it and that's it. They had a cash shop for armor sets but it was completely unnecessary and I never even looked at it much less bought anything from it. So provided the releases after that are the same it's a "there is an MTX shop but the game is balanced without it" situation

I’ve not played it yet but beyond all reason is a new rts that’s free and i don’t think it’s “free to play” free either but i might be wrong about that

I’m not entirely sure, but I think Mirage on the App Store is a trial version with the ability to buy the full version, which is why it’s listed as free to play with micro transaction.

@slimerancher@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, Mirage is not a free to play game. Must be a trial version, with option to buy the full game.

Ubisoft says they make AAAA games now, so probably at least $70 for the base game standard edition.

Droechai, do gaming w Recommend me your favorite linear games!

The Thief series are linear and awesome. The third game, Deadly Shadows are the easiest to get into (with an almost mandatory patch mod called Sneaky Upgrade) and if the story whets your appetite go back and play the others in order.

@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

For real, that was us. Megafauna are not viable anymore cause some hairless apes are going to throw stuff at the big target if its there. And apparently throwing stuff accurately is so OP that it took us to the top of the foodchain. Crazy.

Jyrdano,

I know this was mostly a joke comment, but Id like to add that the second main culprit were rapid enviromental changes after the last ice age. It cant be all pinned on humans.

People used spears as pikes and braced against earth to kill mammoths. Throwing stuff is OP as well.

A word to the wise, as you say you don’t normally buy games - do double check whether your Mac is new enough for the game. I don’t know exactly how specs work on mac, but I would hazard a guess that anything older than, say, 2019, won’t be able to play it.

Jimmycrackcrack,

Thanks mate.

Breadhax0r, do games w I just read about early humans causing the extinction of megafauna and thought of Monster Hunter

So up until very recently, the monster hunter games had a theme of living in balance with the environment and monsters were only hunted to help control manageable numbers or if some had gone out of control. Then they were apparently specifically told to tone down their environmental messaging to appeal to a wider audience.
