tropico 3 is probably your best bet, they had a nice offer on about a month back for it cheap, i'm not sure if they'll do it again but its well worth the £30 dollars otherwise! was a bit buggy at first but the patch seems to have fixed a lot

For me. Hard. Really, really hard. Fun for sure though. It does offer alot of CoH like gameplay minus any amount of base building added along with individual infantry unit control, actual ammo for every unit out there, direct control mode(hold down Ctrl and left click to fire for any unit you select), an inventory system for every infantry unit and awful voice acting. No really I mean the voice acting will be the most awful voice acting you will see in practically any other game out there. Fortunately such crap voice acting is made up for with..... the rest of the game IMO. Definitely worth checking out (demo is available)

You should really try civ 4, it's the best strategy game ever if you get into it. It's hard at first but once you learn the mechanics you will love it. Maybe you like city builders like grand age:rome, ceasar series or simcity series (dunno if you can get it off steam?). Or pick up an oldie somewhere like X-com enemy unknown/terror from the deep. Both are old but amazing tactical play, so if your able to look past the graphics you will probably love those 2.

Dawn of Discovery Gold is one of the best city building RTS games, if you care for that. Majesty 2 is pretty fun and unique, but I don't think I'd recommend it at it's current $30 price. King Arthur is pretty good. It's like Total War with magic and missions. Other than those, I'll throw in another recommendation for Tropico 3.

Majesty 2 and Command & Conquer 3 (especially with the Kane's Wrath expansion) are both fantastic games.
