Try Empire Earth, you can play any age you want, and the units in Modern age are good, the only thing is that tanks are pretty uselless in the game, cause they get killed easly be anti tank weapons.

And the AI cheats like no other

I disagree with comrade Che on the subject of RTS's. I find them pretty fun, not nearly as fun as Civ or Paradox games, but, still they can be fun.

There are no good modern RTSes.

SC is the worst thing to ever happen to RTS games. Unfortunately, people always insist on praising the things that StarCrap got horribly wrong.

Its sides are horribly unrealistic. IRL, the Zerg, Terrans, and Protoss would have ended up with exactly the same weaponry within a year at most.

It uses the stupid harvester model of resource control.

It has a fixed and very low resolution.

The queueing that it does have is extremely limited and badly implemented. WC3 actually managed to make the queueing situation worse by dropping build queues. Attacking bases is a pain when you can't tell your units the order of razing in advance.

I don't remember if it required buildings for unit support or not, but it probably did because that's the stupid way of doing it.

You could only select a very limited number of units.

Et cetera et cetera et cetera...

Yeah and the fact that nobody plays SC online anymore proves that... wait ... people do play it STILL hmm
I see from the whinging about queueing that you aren't expert at keyboard/mouse control, good players try to avoid queues as much as possible.
Also this part:

Attacking bases is a pain when you can't tell your units the order of razing in advance.

Oh my god. First of all, you CAN. Second, you shouldn't (unless it's empty) because control is everything for good players, and you should allways keep your eye on your men.
Rest of your crap you wrote I won't even touch.
I hate to break this to you but are more of a TBS guy. How lucky this is Civ site

I've got The Moon Project here on my shelf -- good game, I just haven't found the time to get through it yet.

Hearts of Iron. In spirit, it's more turn-based than RTS, but you can play it like you'd play an RTS if you really want.

What is this game about? And how much cpu power do I need for it?

[Paul Hanson]

It's about the run up to World War II and the war itself. You can play as a powerful major nation like Britain or Germany right down to Belgium, Mongolia or Tibet.

I don't know what the minimum specs are. One of my mates has HoI and it runs fine on his Althlon XP2000, but I should imagine that anything above a P500 would be fine.

IMO, there hasn't been any reason to buy RTS' after AoE II, because it's still the best one around.

Yeah and the fact that nobody listens to N'Sync proves that it sucks... wait.. people do listen to them

What does being the fastest-clicker-in-the-west have to do with strategy?

good players try to avoid queues as much as possible.

In TA and Warlords Battlecry II? I did say that SC's queues are badly implemented.

RTS is about control of resources, not units.

No, I am a Strategy game guy. I want to battle the enemy and not the interface.

Have you tried Warlords Battlecry II or Kohan?
