    You don't like Starcraft or its theme?

    Dawn of War and all its expansion are pretty good IMO and so is Company of Heroes. They are some very fast paced RTS.

    Not sure for future proof though.

    I agree:

    Dawn of War
    Company of Heroes
    Command and Conquer 3
    Sins of a Solar Empire

    AoE 3 IMO is rather disappointing (Not gameplay though), I still remember the day in AoE 1 and 2 where each of your unit's look will change as you upgrade.

    Command and Conquer General and expansion are nice too (The theme :D )... still waiting for their follow up... Its suppose to be next right? Since C&C and RA got theirs. :(

    Warcraft 3.
    Can't beat its large online user base, and it's custom user-created maps.

    oh yeah, ladders okay ;)

    I still think the Age of Empires Series is still the best. I felt that Age of Empires III was the best one, to bad Ensemble Studios is closing after Halo Wars ships..

    StarCraft is THE MOST played RTS since 10 or more years ago, still unbeaten
    then comes WarCraft 3 (EXCELLENT GAME)
    Then comes other not so competively games such as AOE3 and Command and Conquer which, by the way, are nice

    but stay with StarCraft and WarCraft with their respectively expansions
