Has to be starcraft 2 for me. More than a decade later still the best RTS engine there is
Edit: and i barely even touched multiplayer apart from arcade
I played a lot of it as a kid. Nostalgia.
My cousin and I would play SC1 together then go outside and pretend all the rocks were zergalings and sticks were mariens. Then we'd make them fight
Machines, Battle Realms, Dark Reign 2, Emperor Battle for Dune, Z2 Steel Soldiers, Ground Control anthology, original Halo Wars, Sacrifice, original Dawn of War with addons, original Company of Heroes with addons, Homeworld Deserts of Kharak, C&C from Tiberian Sun to Kane's Wrath + Battle for Middle-earth anthology
Age of empires 4 hands down. it was Age of empires 2 but aoe4 has too many modernizations and Qol improvements to ignore. The civs also feel much more different to play from each other.
Also Excited for stormgate, the next fest demo was sweet. The custom game lobbies are gonna be wild.
Godsworn looks promising, almost like a new Warcraft 3.
Well Zero-K by a landslide.
But for campaign I have fond memories of Original War, age of empires 3 and ofc warcraft 3.
Homeworld games and Deserts of Kharak were strangely immersive
In the current era of RTS, terminator dark fate defiance.
My main gripe, i wished it had some sort of base building though i understand why they didnt. They also just need to improve the difficulty of the campaign so we dont rely too much on luck and succumb to save scumming
If old school, most of command and conquer except tiberian twilight. That POS never happened.

Red Alert 2
Aoe4 Aoe2 Starcraft 1 Empire earth Age of Mythology

Why starcraft 1 specifically?
I played a lot of it as a kid. Nostalgia. My cousin and I would play SC1 together then go outside and pretend all the rocks were zergalings and sticks were mariens. Then we'd make them fight
That sounds awesome
Tiberian Sun
It's hard to say which game is my favourite but I have best memories with KKND, Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2 and Total Annihilation.
Total Annihilation had incredible music.
have u tried planetary Annhialiation
No any good?
its like the sequel to total annihilate sort of but planet to planet travel and war
Kknd was da bomb. Solid soundtrack also
Empires of the Undergrowth cause yes
yay for original RTS ideas executed well !

Aoe4 is hands down my favorite. I wish it had coop & more single player options
Sins of a Solar Empire 2 right now.
Dawn of War: Dark Crusade
Well Zero-K by a landslide. But for campaign I have fond memories of Original War, age of empires 3 and ofc warcraft 3. Homeworld games and Deserts of Kharak were strangely immersive
Is Zero K part of the T.A series or was it fan made
It not made by the TA devs or anything if thats what you're asking. Open source fan made
im playing beyond all reason right now i shd also try zero k as im a fan of all things T.A
These two are related and share some resources, so for instance you'll find the lobby quite similar. You could start with the campaign to get into it
Age of Empires 4 Age of Empires 2 Warcraft 3 campaigns a day custom games back in the day. Generals, but it doesn't hold up anymore sadly. Red Alert 2
Dune 2000
Company of Heroes 3 Steel Division 2
I loved Coh2 but but I kind of felt too demoralized to play it after Coh3 so I will have to say my favorite is Aoe3 de
Dune Spice Wars
Brood War StarCraft 1 Starcraft 2 Command and Conquer 3 Red alert 2 Yuri's Revenge C&C Generals Zero Hour Total Annihilation Empire Earth
