Anyone know of any good RTS games? Age/graphics aren't really a factor, as I've been playing Red Alert 3 for a long ass time now and enjoying it. I'm especially interested in a RPG/RTS combo like Brutal Legend, where you play as an individual hero commanding an army from the frontlines, as opposed to an omnipotent commander in the sky.
I'm also kind of interested in a city builder or kingdom game where you aren't encouraged to micromanage. Most of these games I play have you in control of every little detail, and I find that more tedious than fun. In these types of games I'm more interested in picking the right general to win me a fight rather than directly controlling every unit. Organic growth rather than constructing new buildings, etc.

Feel free to lock thread, I'm just going to copypasta this over there
Not quite sure if this fits your fancy but you could try Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. It is RTS/RPG stealth based game. It has got high marks all around. People liken it to a game called Commandos.
