All hail AoE II (Though the expansion 'The Conquerors' is better in my opinion), it comes out on top of my list of RTS games as well, and I've played quite a few. Other RTS'es I've enjoyed include Warcraft III (more fantasy than technically medieval, though) and Medieval II: Total War.

If you're into turn based stuff, check out the Total War series (Medieval II primarily) and Civlization V. On another note, that's one of my favourite (partially medieval) games as well.
Wow, we'd almost have to have a game one day with all these AoE II players around, what do you think?

AoE II (+ TC, of course)
M2:TW (+ Kingdoms (expansion))

If you list the Stronghold series, should you list Medieval: Total War as a series as the original was also excellent?
I'm keen to see how this develops as I'm not sure how many titles exist in this genre. I remember giving the original Stongholds a crack but for some reason I never got hooked and I haven't tried anything else other than the two Total War games. Just started learning how to play MTW2 a few weekends ago as I now have a machine good enough to play it

Well, yes. I guess I don't differentiate between the two. The Spanish cannon galleons were practically unstoppable in the expansion. It would be fun to get an AoE II party going sometime between us forum members.
