Suggestions

Can someone suggest me a good game to play now in vacations cause I am a litte bored?!?


I would like a strategy or an RPG game that wouldn't take more than 1.5 GB.

If it's strategy:
Anything(RTS, TBS, TBT, RTT)
Preferable fantasy(sci-fi or just fantasy) but real world would be appreciated too


If it's RPG:
I don't care if it's MMO
Preferable single character(not party) but party based would be apprecieted too
Good character creation


Please give me some suggestions.

(Remember game<1,5GB)

Thank you


Edit:Not to forget, don't tell me HOMM I have played all of them(and they are great)

For hard strategy I suggest Hearts of Iron 2 Doomsday. It's a WW2 simulation on stategic level. Very good.
Another hardcore strategy could be Europa Universalis 2. It's a nation simulation from middle ages to 19th century. Less war orientated than Hearts of Iron.

For TBS I suggest Age of Wonders or Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic. It's a good fantasy strategy series, I prefer the first in the series.

RTS, well there are millions. C&Cs, Total Annihilation,Age of Empires, StarCraft, KKnDs, Earth 21xx

For RPG Neverwinter Nights, Baldurs Gate 1&2, Planescape Torment

If you can pinch in 2.0 Gb of space I really recommend Spellforce. It's a game that combines RTS and RPG in a fantasy setting. Sounds exactly like what you are looking for.

Oh and I know that Shadowgrounds isn't either RPG or strategy but it's just so great if you happen to have a friend/friends who can come over and play that I have to recommend it. It's a top-down shooter/survival game. It's sequel, Shadowgrounds Survivor, is even more fun since you can use multiple keyboards and mouses so your friend doesn't have to use a gamepad. Only problem is that the game is ridiculously easy and short because there are respawn spots in every mission and the more players there are the more firepower you get.

You play TF2 too? Anyway you should try Steam, IF you have good connection, otherwise downloads will take forever.

Oh I skipped the tactical section completely. Steel Panthers is something that every tactical player should appreciate. If you prefer small teams  Jagged Alliance is a classic so is Commandos. For some scifi tactics I suggest MegaMek if you have time to learn all the rules and such. It's very complicated. You can download it here.

Happy time killing.

Bought a couple of days ago.

Jonas you really enjoy spellforce(2)? - My brother told me to play SF2 and I tried, and it was awfully boring and just really awfull - Just didn't really get me.

To tell you the truth I hate Spellforce 2. It isn't just boring, it's plain bad, such a let down after the first one.

But the first one is still pure gold.

But then again I absolutely loved Team Forstress and I feel that TF 2 isn't even near the first one.

It was good but the official maps were too boring (symmetrical and all that)

Why?Team fortress 2 is pure gold. The first one was too much of rocket spam and luck game. The current one has to be the most balanced FPS on the market, I only dislike the new achievement weapons.

Maybe as an UT gamer I just feel that rocket spam is the only real way to play FPS online.
But seriously I don't know. Maybe I just have lost interest in such games like TF because they need a good team that you can't ever get together from random online players. It should be played as a clan wars only. Same goes to BF and others.

But Sinkohippa FTW!
