![]() Rites of War, developed by DreamForge and published by SSI in 1999, has the player take control of the Eldar forces of Craftworld Iyanden as they wage war first on the forces of humanity and then eventually unite with them against the legions of a Tyranid hive fleet while gathering the lost remnants of their very old history across 24 levels. And something far more sinister lurks in the shadows of Davinuus and seeks only to consume. But Davinuus is overrun with human vermin who attack the Eldar when they arrive to reclaim their ancient artifacts. The Eldar of Craftworld Iyanden have only now discovered the planet Davinuus, a Maiden World once terraformed and colonized by the Eldar many millennia ago. The Eldar, an ancient race who once ruled the universe, have been ripped from their empire and forced to wander on massive ships known as Craftworlds. In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war. I mean, everyone needs to play Total Annihilation! Warhammer 40,000: Rites of War Like always, GOG has a good mix of genre definers and unsung heroes this is just a subset. Over time the strategy genre has seen numerous convention changes and experienced massive popularity up through the 1990s and to modern day, with notable games like Nobunaga’s Ambition, Starcraft, Heroes of Might & Magic, and X-COM: UFO Defense, just to name a few. While SSI’s Computer Bismarck (1980) is regarded by many as the first strategy pc game, Invasion for the Magnavox Odyssey (1972) is considered the venerable video game genre’s real start. Strategy games have been around since the dawn of time, but computer strategy games first arrived in the early days of the 1980s. We decided to combine all types of strategy games into one article, so you will see a mix of real time and turn-based games across time periods and subgenres. ![]() In Part 3 of our Hidden Gems of GOG series, the topic is Strategy.
