Yes and lots.Mazty said:
Although late in the game I mostly relegate all artillery to siegework and have my main field armies heavily stacked with grenadiers and jagers. Go Imperial Prussia!
By the way, if you have (or want, it's freeware) Command & Conquer 1, I recommend this community patch [http://www.cncsector.net/cnp/cnc]. For your Total Annihilation purchasing needs, I'm going to recommend Impulse [http://www.impulsedriven.com/totalannihilation]. Battle Tactics was added to it a few weeks back for free. Plus, high resolution patch included.
Incidentally, the freeware version of C&C Tiberian Sun is bloody awkward to install. Community to the rescue again. [http://www.cnc-comm.com/community/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=41] Otherwise, not much to add than what other people have said.

This game has kept my attention longer than anything other than the crysis editor. It has been on half as many hours as my anti-virus scanner. The game has good graphics and a quirky, hilarious campaign with good gameplay. The game doesn't have a serious note and is a good relaxer on easy and an awesome challenge on hard.Jiraiya72 said:
Starcraft 2 is coming out soon.
Homeworld 1-2 (I never played 2) are excellent.
Rise of Nations was great too.

do not buy this. the server troubles are immense with the DRM and youll end up not being able to play your game if they go down again.rt052192 said:
Id recommend Company of heroes and its expansion opposing fronts. Id also recommend Supreme Commander forged alliance for the PC.
These are my two favourite RTSs
Of this generation, the Total War series, Company of Heroes and Sins of a Solar Empire are a safe bet.
Depends what you're looking for in your RTS
Colossal management system and global scale? Try the 'Total War' series (barring the somewhat dumbed down 'Empire' entry)
Ridiculous scale and economic balancing system? Try something like 'Sins of a Solar Empire' or the now more than finely aged 'Warlords: Battlecry' if your computer can actually run it, it's so damn old.
Fast paced blasty-shooty-harvesty fun? Go check out the command and conquer franchise. Be careful with newer entries, there's more than a few upset long time fans we'll say 'creatively venting their dismay' about the direction it has taken.

The Homeworld games and Sins of a Solar Empire if you're into a bit of Sci-fi.
If you want a grand scale strategy game then try out Supreme Commander: Forged Alliances, I personally didn't enjoy Supreme Commander 2 though.
Also, the earlier Commander & Conquers are something every RTS gamer must experience.
Personally I can't stand any of the newer ones after Red Alert 2.
And I suppose if you want a bit more of a varied experience then the Total War games are great at mixing Empire management with the RTS elements in the battles.
One game I haven't seen mentioned here is Earth 2160 (and the earlier games: 2140, 2150), that was a great RTS with some interesting elements that were pretty unique at the time. I really recommend you check that out, might be surprised. =)

I quite enjoyed it. My major complaint with it was the DRM. The President Ackerman [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaKziuu1nP4] adverts were cool, the story was...well it's Red Alert. It has time travel, so the story is guaranteed to be fucked but the gameplay was decent enough and the fanservice was amusing/fap-tastic.Alpha1089 said:
