The Grand Final to Crown the Best RTS Unit Is Underway

For over a month, real-time strategy enthusiasts have been voting for their favourites. The tournament, which began with 16 legendary units, has now reached its final stage. Based on fan votes, the ultimate showdown will take place between the iconic Mammoth Tank from Command & Conquer: Red Alert and the renowned Priest from Age of Empires.## The Road to the FinalThe tournament has seen several unexpected results. In the semi-finals, the Mammoth Tank convincingly defeated Homeworld 2's Pride of Hiigara with 60% of the vote, a result many found surprising. Meanwhile, the Priest secured an even larger victory, winning 70% of the vote against the Super Star Destroyer—a decision that sparked significant debate among strategy game fans.The Mammoth Tank, a symbol of Soviet military hardware, is known for its slow movement, but immense durability and destructive power. Conversely, the Priest’s success is largely attributed to its iconic 'Wololo' ability, which has frustrated generations of players by converting enemy units.## Why This MattersWhile the Mammoth Tank might theoretically struggle against spacecraft, the goal of the tournament is not merely to evaluate combat strength, but to identify the units that have earned a special place in the hearts of players. The definition of 'the best' is subjective, and it is this diversity that has led to such a stark contrast between the finalists.Voting will conclude on Wednesday, British Summer Time (BST). The winner will be officially announced next week. For gamers in Georgia, this tournament serves as a nostalgic trip down memory lane, as both Command & Conquer and Age of Empires were foundational to the development of the strategy genre in the region.Which side are you on: the Soviet steel monster or the mystical power of the Priest? The results will be known soon.
