What are the prettiest looking 2d rts games in your opinion (or just strategy games in general)?
Why don't developers go back to 2d, it's better for strategy games
I like Twisted Insurrection, Anno 1503, SunAge, AoE DE, and Desert Law (the game is not great but it looks like a crpg, like Fallout II or Planescape, cool visuals)

That game is SunAge btw, pretty obscure, it was decent

Desert Law is basically a Mad Max rts
It looks cool but the game is just alright

CulturesNation is quite cute. It's standalone mod of 2000 game Cultures. But I think there is only Polish version.

Indie developers are still making retro 2d games, and I think that's cool
This one is "Fertile Crescent", a decent age of empires cloneThis one looks fun too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rj212KKfWQ

Maybe AoE2.
Starcraft and Red Alert are nice looking, but not super pretty. There are screenshots of aoe2 where it just punches solidly above them, and even in normal play the bases tend to look pretty good, like if you took a random base from a booming competitive game, and then added in some roads, trees and bushes it would look very pretty.
>(or just strategy games in general)?
homm2, songs of conquest, age of wonders are the first that come to mind, but it's probably Anno
