General What’s the best "Indie" RTS game you’ve played?

[quietoffensive]

I think the indie developers deserve more respect. Some indie RTS games have given me more fun than the expensive titles everybody hypes online. What impresses me is how creative these smaller teams can be. They actually try weird ideas instead of copying each other. The big studios have the money but sometimes no soul. Then one random indie developer appears and creates something memorable. It's funny how that works.

Indie developers deserve their flowers. For me, Northgard really surprised me. I expected another small project and ended up sinking plenty of hours into it. What I like is that indie teams still take risks. Big studios often play safe because they're protecting huge budgets.
