Oh i forgot the most important thing. Its not all close combat or long range combat based. Since it is warhammer 40k you’ll be versing super human solders, super tanks with 11 guns on em, huge demons, orks, and a mix of completley different races. But i found the best part to be the kill syncs that happen in close combat. I cant realy explain them but you can see them on youtube.

Dawn of war I say is the best also. 9 races which are very different from each other with different forms of resource collection and gameplay. Also its very strategic because of the cap system instead of just rushing your enemy. The only problem would be that after the Dark crusade and Soulstorm expantion packs had bad campaigns. However there making Dawn of War 2 which should be very good be sure to check that out.

Mine was C&C Red Alert, until Red Alert 2 came out, but the position was recently usurped by Company of Heroes. Regardless, the Red Alert and Age of Empires series will always be memorable to me.

Best RTS game ever — I still have fond memories of the original command and conquer, it was like God compared to Warcraft II.

Total Annilation is the best LAN RTS though

Dawn of War, easily. If you are looking at a game having very different races that are all in balance I don’t think anyone does it better than DoW. The other thing I really like is: no resource collection. The game is about taking ground instead of “turtling” and micro-managing your economy. In addition, the unit “caps” mean that must balance your force with combined arms principles instead of just building a “big” army.

AoE series was pretty nice. I liked building stuff :) Somehow it’s sort of a mix of Civ & RTS games.

Homeworld… friend of mine likes it a lot. I never got hang of it though…

*longthink* Homeworld. Now this is what I call “pushing the genre”. A pity there are not mroe 3D space RTS, but I guess it’s the stuff that drives every enemy AI programmer insane in not time.

I would have to say Age of Empires II. Yes, I know that it’s really old for a computer game, but it set the bar high for RTS games when it came out.

In line with what you mentioned, it had some unequal, yet balanced factions/civilizations, and an excellent multiplayer.
