There is also Blitzkrieg, though I've never actually played it

Might I suggest World in Conflict. And if you don't like the rock-paper-scissors style of it, here's a wonderful mod: http://www.moddb.com/mods/wicmw
The Total War games are fun.
I've tried both Men of War and Theater of War, I don't care for either too much, but hey, you asked.
Dawn of War is fun. Think DoW2 but more army/base building. When I first played DoW2 it felt like a mix between Dawn of War and some RPG.

Thanks Trooper i have all the original DoW games, i'm in the same boat as you i don't care for men of war really. i also tried the demos for some total war games and there confusing to me like the campaign of it(i was doing demo) then i also tried the World in Conflict demo which i didn't understand either all my guys died like right away and the points it wouldn't let me capture them. I'm gonna look at the mod though.

I'm a huge fan of old school RTS games like AoE II and AoE, if you happen to have AoE II and Conquerors I suggest getting the Age of Hegemony:Chivalry mod for it, really makes the game much more fun. Also I suggest Europa Universalis III which isn't exactly an RTS as much as it is Blitzkreig in the past. Its really a super-realism game where anything can and will happen to the world around you, plus changing the past is fun (imagine a France that wins wars!!!!). Also Stronghold is a great RTS series.

Unforunatly i dont have AoE2 anymore...  :( and i looked at Europa Universalis III and it didn't appeal to my tastes(sorry) and then stronghold games looked pretty cool but a little to complex for my tastes. But i thank you for the suggestions and trying to help me

CnC Generals is a great game but apart from that I think you've covered all the RTS's I like to play. Maybe LOTR Battle for Middle Earth?

For turn based games, definitely go for Total War. Rome TW is to this day one of my favourite games and has incredible RTS battles. The Civilisation series is quite good too.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

TWs take some time to learn and practice with but are extremely rewarding as you start conquering the world. Eventually you look back at your empire and remember how hard fought it was to build it. Very satisfying.

In one of my Shogun 2 campaigns, I began as Oda and was at war with about 7 other clans. I had to do a battle where my lone capital had to stand against 3 full stack armies. I failed the first time, lost the game and had to reload. Now I've conquered half of Japan and have gigantic armies but I still remember my humble beginnings. :P

Total war series are the most unique with both turn-based adn real-time strategy. If I'm too lazy, I only play their turn-based part and leave the battles for the comp's decision :P. Another turn-based game I like is Disciples I & II (forget III, it sucks). There was also a RTS game you control polices, firefighters, medics to fight against disasters too ;D (I forgot its name, but it can be found again)
I'm drunk now, I'm outranked you in philosophy.
