I know the DS is one of the main consoles for Turn-based strategy but (I know it' a long shot) are there any good real time strategy games? If so what are some of the best?
You're kind of right, but I myself don't consider it and RTS, it's more of an RTSRPG for me. So is FFXII:RW. But yeah, they are both definitely worth checking out.
I think that there was a game in the Mana series from SquareEnix that was an RTS. Advance Wars isn't exactly what you are talking about; but it is ace.
Heroes of mana was horrible Also i guess spectral force genesis can be classified as an rts, sorta. But the battles are fairly short..
Poor AI? The enemies did their job perfectly in campaign and in free battle they did what you set them to do. And lack of content? I wouldn't call 6 campaigns, 3 acts per campaign, about 7 levels per act and heaps of unlockable characters, maps and concept art lack of content. You need to be more content with your content (chuckles to self). Lego battles is at least in the top 10 RTS games I have played on any console.
