I need a good RTS

But it's not that easy, oh no! I'm quite selective, so here goes:

* I beat WarCraft without cheating (which should say a bit how much I loved it), and spent too much time with WarCraft 2 in a network. It was awesome. Obviuosly I really wanted WarCraft 3, but it was a major disappointment. I hate it.
* Command & Conquer was great as well, but I got it around the same time I got WarCraft 2. WC2 was the best one of those two. I never liked the rest of the C&C games, including Generals and Red Alert.
* StarCraft... well, there's a piece of genius. I love it, even today.
* Age of Empires? No thanks. Hated it.
* Empire Earth? Hated it.
* Age of Mythology? Tried it, got bored. It has potential, but the units are too much the same. It's hard to tell the difference between a guy with a sword and guy with a spear. Or a peasant, for that matter.
* Homeworld? You only drive vehicles, so count me out. I tried, but realized I want soldiers, grunts, dragons and so on. Not vehicles.
* Any other RTS game that focuses on vehicles? No thanks.
* Oh, and it can't be too hard either. I hate getting my butt kicked all the time.

So there you have it. Can you recommend me a great RTS with units instead of vehicles? Please? :help

hey... you still play starcraft?  online?  want to play with some of us when we play?


have you tried Rise of Nations?
Warcraft 3? (even though I don't like).
Rome Total War?

I tried WarCraft 3, I really, really did. It sucked. Rise of Nations? Nah, didn't like it. Rome: Total War? Never bothered. Sounds too complicated. I even tried a game called Battle Realms, but it sucked. And so did that Kohan-thingy. Hate it, hate it, hate it. Maybe it's just me who don't like RTS, even though I want to. Dune2, WarCraft 1 & 2, StarCraft. That's about it. All other RTS games suck. (including Emperor of Dune, or whatever they called that mess.)

wow ... you didn't like Rise of Nations? Why don't people like that game? I get so hooked on it.


Warcraft... I actually only played that game for 15 min... I couldn't stand how everything looked... but that was after I played Warcraft 2.
Warcraft 1 was a great game though.

yeah... I hated Warcraft 3 as well.

I didn't like Rise of Nations that much. Sounds too much like Empire Earth, and not in a good way. Guess I'm screwed. I heard someone made a Star Wars mod for Homeworld 2, so maybe I'll go get Homeworld 2 and check it out. Sure it's just vehicles and all that, but at least it's Star Wars. Can't go much wrong there. Just ignore Episode 1-3 and 90% of the games, and it's excellent!

War Craft 3 blows, the 3D is very annoying and it took the fun and purpose out of the game. I dropped allot of money on the game and the expansion 

I love Warcraft 3, but Im so bad at it, that I gave up on the game. I never played Warcraft or WC2 but I really like this game. I cant play online, because everyone crushes me, and I can only beat the pc on easy 1 out of 8 games.

I had allot of fun with WC and WC2 but the 3D was so fun for me in WC3 :'( No Fun...

I think you made a good descion with Diablo because it provides 100's of game hours and is extreamly addictive online. I had so much fun playing it on HardCore mode back in the day. I got a level 82 barb on HardCore.

dang.. you must have some good equip.

I'm struggling in hell with my lvl 65 barb

Strange. If you like Warcraft 1 and 2, you usually hate Warcraft 3. If you hated warcraft 1 and 2 (or didn't play them), you love warcraft 3. Can't wait for Warcraft 4 to see who likes it.
