I've also pondered this many a time, and tried to hunt down some strategy games that relive the golden age of RTS!
I'm playing Total War Rome II at the moment and thoroughly enjoying it. Recommend having a look at it.
Impossible Creatures was one original and fun game! Not my favourite RTS, but definitely a memorable one. Age of Empires of course, Dawn of war, Company of heroes, Homeworld, Rise of nations, Empire Earth, Alpha Centuri, C&C. Evil Genius (more of a management) was also fun and original! I grew up playing RTS and miss them dearly![]()
