    RUSE isn't too removed from C&C and the zoom in/pan out functionality is great.

    Dawn of War is a good one too if you fancy somethign slightly different to C&C

    I don't like it. It's that low-poly trend and the "fun" features. I want history and immersion, not "fun".

    Good thing I was replying to the OP and not you then.

    Who the hell wants to play a game that's not fun?

    Don't get me wrong here, I like fun games, but they're pushing it a bit. Age of Empires had warriors and catapults and castles, not cartoons.

    Dawn of War: Dark Crusade is my fave, loved the way you gained extra starting units based on which territories you owned.

    It was more of a full game than an add-on. As an added bonus you don't need the original to play it.

    Yeah I played it through a while back, but never felt the need to re-install.

    Dark Crusade's been dug out a few times over the years though :)

    This is going back a long time now but one strategy game that I absolutely loved was Total Annihilation! Absolutely epic game, i've gone back and played it a few times, only thing that ever used to drive me insane was that I could never get a proper lan going with my friends, spent hours of my life playing skirmishes in it though! Would definatly recommend it OP
