By the way I should mention, don't play DoW 1 single player skirmish without the AI improvement mod "Skirmish AI".  The campaign can't really be played with the Skirmish AI mod unfortunately.

PS. Dark Crusade was a great expansion, the game was at it's best in them days.  Soulstorm was made by some third party and was a tiny fraction of the quality of the game that come before it.

Dawn of War 1 (Winter Assault, Dark Crusade   + that other expansion...)   nice games

imho,  a tad imbalanced,  specially online that necron lord = just bug abusing

been o nthis campaign map 4ever, i have no idea how much i killed, but im stil @ my basedoor tagging hundres..  thousands of eldar (3 cpu's)  i think they overdid something, cuase after 5 hours of tagging i just stopepd trying

Supreme Commander (and Forged Alliance expansion)

great game,  forged alliance = a must really,  it's a whole different game compared 2 supcom vanilla,  economy and buildtimes etc. have been redone resulting in much more epic battles,

what homeworld games do you have?

Homeworld (1)  Homeworld Cataclysm (my fav.) and Homeworld 2 like how that turned out... nut stil prefer 1 over 2

What's wrong with Sins of a Solar Empire and why do you think you tired of it?

seeing as again you used no information to support yourself, thanks for worthless incorrect comment

Hey!  Somebody which have the same taste in RTS as I do

i can also recommend Dawn of War with all expansions. I don't get what's so bad with Soulstorm except that the Sisters of Battle is like a bit weaker Space Marines since the introduced flyers. It's good in MP but the campaign is even worse then Dark Crusade (I could bare to play Dark Crusade with every race. In Soulstorm I got seriously fed up after 4 races).

I haven't tried Company of Heroes, Men of War, SoaSE or SupCom (yeah I know I'll try CoH in a week, promise!).

I can say which game to avoid though....Age of Empires III....it's sloooooooowww.

I've never played such a slow RTS....Mindbogglingly slow....just gonna get through the campaigns and then it's time for uninstallation.

Sounds like Kohan is nothing for us either. But in approximetly 2 months a certain beta will hit             If you're in Europe I'll play ya

Most of my games are won with T1 and T2 units. I don't rush.

It's been a while since I played vanilla SupCom, so my memory might be a bit fuzzy, but back then I remember Experimentals (T4 units) and heavy artillery just being stalemate breakers. Most games never got that far, as both sides would be taking apart each others base and would specifically target either of these things to take them out if they were around. Might have just been the games I played. They made it even harder to turtle in Forged Alliance. If you don't expand outside your starting area now, you're dead.

I'm still playing Forged Alliance. I don't like micro, so I like that I can just set up standing orders and have new units get to it. I'm sure the best players micro, but it seems less necessary than in Blizzard games, for instance. The huge, nearly constant battles are great. The importance of combined arms is appreciated too - I really can't remember many RTS games that did this well.
