Well, we all know building troops on the battlefield from mining crystals, ore, gas, gold, boogers, etc is absurd.
That being said, it really depends on the game. I think resource gathering works in SC and C&C, but I really like the newer models that DoW and CoH use, which, while not perfect, at least make a little more sense.

I don't know if this applies, but I like the Total War series alot. It might not actually count since the Grand campaign is actually mostly turn-based, but if you get down to the actual commanding of battles, it is kinda in the middle of difficulty, it's 'easy to learn, hard to master' and all that stuff. Although it does sometimes when defending/attacking a gate or breach in the wall it has the ability to just get so complicated you have to either retreat a bit inside to get an overview or just let them be and lose a bunch of them.
Well I'm inherently bad at RTS games, so the only one I really played before last year was Warcraft 3. But I have to say that the Total War games (Rome and Medieval 2, not Empire) are some of the most epic and fun strategy games out there. Honestly, when you have 10,000 troops on the field and elephants, things can't get much better.'

I like to play Red Alert 2...though I will grant you that the whole "strategy" aspect basically boils down to "build lots of Apocs/Prism Tanks and steamroller your enemy...before they do the same to you". It's simple, mostly automatic and has two very good campaigns designed to take you through every unit in the game, and prove that America is good or that Russia is corrupt (delete depending on which campaign you choose)
Also Age of Mythology and Age of Empires 2. Even if I'm too slow to play them on any difficulty where the CPU actually has a go at killing me. (I either don't have enough base defences or I spend so much on troops to defend that I can't get to the next Age before the CPU. From then on I have lost).
AOM has one campaign but it lasts for 31 scenarios and they are quite varied and some even involve some actual events from the relevant mythology (though it does the Kingdom Hearts trick of shoving Arkantos, the hero of the tale, in everywhere), while AOE2 has several campaigns, which are mostly tough.
