I've always been in love with the RTS genre. Red Alert 2, Age of Mythology, Company of Heroes. I grew up loving games with base building. I know the genre is mostly dead now a days outside of Starcraft, which is one of the saddest things to happen to gaming. Places like Hiveworkshop are a treasure trove for custom maps/campaigns for these older games, and keep them alive a little bit, but new content comes sparsely.
Seems like the good, old-fashioned, RTS genre died out of nowhere 10 years ago or so. I would like this to be a thread for people who also grew up loving RTS games like these to come together and share their thoughts on newer ones and possibly share any hidden gems with the rest of us they might've encountered over the years.
My current library consists of:
All Command and Conquer games
Warcraft/Starcraft
Age of Mythology/Empires and all Expacs
Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds
All Dawn of War games
Heroes of Might and Magic(most of the them)
Rise of Nations
Battle for Middle-Earth 1&2
Spellforce 1&2
Impossible Creatures
All Company of Heroes
Several Total War games(I hated them all)
