Shogun 2, fall of the Samurai expansion. It's EPIC!!

Watching hundreds of guys fighting in forests, all the smoke from the rifles fogging up the battlefield, the distant crack of cannon fire and the thud seconds later as it lands.

I don't even mind losing, I just love watching it!!

Yeah, got it for £7.49. Don't like it

Was expecting something more like Homeworld, it's not even similar. It makes me sad

It's probably just too deep for me

Homeworld 2 with the Complex mod. excellent stuff

Wargame Airland Battle, but I'm just about the only one, which is a joke. Sorely underrated game.

Thought about this when it was in the steam sale. Is it decent?

It is awesome! it is about all I play at the moment. This game suffers from a severe lack of marketing.
Also, Eugen are great for giving DLC away for free and it just received its first pack

I haven't really played any RTS properly since Total Annihialation. :/

I find that RTSs tend to be mental overload and I'm generally pants at them. Too much going on at the same time.

I do fancy the look of Divinity: Dragon Commander, though.

Planetary Annihilation... But it's not up to much yet (Alpha).

My RTS interests have been consumed with playing and watching Starcraft 2, I dip into old favourites like early C&Cs and Supreme Commander but they just don't feel as solid and diverse as SC2, I find the gameplay ends up too linear and predictable. Although SupCom has a more epic, large scale feel to it which I enjoy.

I know you said RTS but have you tried turn-based such as Galactic Civilization 2? It has a similiar concept as Sins with more freedom to move around space, and very intelligent AI.

Not just you me too. Wargame: Airland Battle is just about my favourite RTS ever. I love the tactical depth, the lack of reliance on APM, the balance, and of course my Burrito!
