Whenever I set the AI above Normal (Depends on the game, like I can take a C&C Generals AI on Hard), I love my RTS's but I'll be the first to tell you that I suck at them...

Dawn of War 1... just all the effin' time... although I could probably have used an easier difficulaty than the hardest possible. Just the CIACB continuously pissed me off, with unfeasible numbers of spess marins...

Spoiler: CIACB

Mine was when I started playing any RTS ever made.

Oh shit! I have to get my guys on those resources!
Oh shit! One of them went the wrong way!
Oh shit! Now I'm behind my opponent!
Oh shi-fuck this, I'm gonna play Tekken.

age of mythology! playing for the first time on titan difficulty, i think it was one of the Egyptian campaign missions
spent thousands of resources building up defense for one side of my base the enemy attacked it and all was going well until...
an army TWICE THE SIZE then the first rams my undefended side! my entire base was wiped out

That reminds me of how one of my multiplayer games ended with NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED and so on about 10 times. Needless to say, I lost.

Had one earlier tonight playing DoW2 Retribution. I heard a Baneblade tank rolling around somewhere and sure enough, the guy had one rolling right towards my base.

I managed to intercept with my army and baneblade, but I barely managed to win, and was surprised I did because my baneblade had half the health his did.
