I always had more fun with the Command & Conquer series, but when it
came to games of the genre that I enjoyed the most, I tended to favor
the games that leaned more towards the tactical aspects. Games like
"Myth", "Ground Control", "Company of Heroes" or "WH40K Dawn of War".

But I tended to be fairly gregarious with the RTS genre, and made an
effort to play many of the games from that era. Still, a lot of the
RTS games that I remember best (aside from the obvious ones) came from
after the turn of the millennium. Games like "Nexus" or "Battle for
Middle Earth" or "Homeworld".

Besides Warcraft 1 and 2, I played Dune 2, C&C and Total Annihilation.
They were ok games to me but they never clicked for me the way they
did for others at the time. So I mostly gave up on the genre. When I
think of tactical games, I think of something like Jagged Alliance
which I like more then RTS games.

But one RTS series I do enjoy a lot and that is Age of Empires. I
always have at least one game in this series installed.

I enjoyed the original AOE game. I couldn't get into TA. Funny my next door neighbor bought me the retail. I never opened it. Ha.
