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.

Total Annihilation is due for a remastering.  That game was ahead of its time.  One of its best features was 25 maps in the campaign, a good long crawl most people will never be without a map at their own level.
