You should try Command and Conquer 3, and Company of Heroes because the rest of my games I play that are good RTS's are fantasy related

Company of Heroes. Go out and get it... now.

I also recommend Command and Conquer 3, Dawn of War: Dark Crusade and Universe at War: Earth Assault.

Are you counting sci fi out too? If not there is Sins of a Solar Empire that no one mentioned. Otherwise go with Company of Heroes.

Oh, and how could I forget Homeworld 2. Thanks for bringing up Sins since it reminded me of Relic's space-RTS gem.

Company of Heroes was made for you.

Others are world conflict, and maybe C&C3 (its kinda fantasy, but not really)

And do you expect it to look "awesome" on low settings?

The game is ugly because you can't play it on high settings, riiiiiight :roll:

Too many to name XD lets see

Total War Series...ANY, Sins, HW2, DoW, SupCom, CoH, and Command and Conquer: Generals, (AoE3 is good as well and it's got I wanna say 2 expansions)...oh and a throwback Empire Earth 2 is great but 3 completely dropped the ball

I guess WiC but...bleh

Should do you quite well. Oh and most of these have expansions (seems small but +expansions you've got literally days if not a solid week of RTS gaming ahead of u...Sins alone...I can't fathom it)

Really? I think it looks amazing. The graphics is picture perfect with it's WWII setting, kind of like a old film. I think the look is perfect for the past depiction of war. Seriously, what were you expecting, a colorful WWII setting with bright greens and neon effects? Play any WWII game and it will be similar. That's why the colors match well because it's based on the past.

It really is one of the best RTS ever, and my personal favorite.

Do you not like it because the way it looks or have you played it and not liked it? If you're judging based on the game's looks than all I can say is, you're missing out on a awesome game.

erm, too many CoH recommendations and not enough Total War. Company of Heroes is one of the top PC RTS games, but Total War is a must-play for any serious RTS player.

I know we are all entitled to our opinions but i have to say, this is tecnically stunning. To say this is an RTS makes it more amazing graphically.

What? are you serious? I'm afraid to ask what your specs are if you say you didn't play it on the highest settings (not to mention DX 10) and with tweaks? WTF, I have an 8800GT and I run it at 1440x900, 4xAA, maxed out, with DX 10 and you are telling me you can't with your 8800GT?

Age of Mythology is great and is one of my favorite RTSs, but isn't that still fantasy?

I'll also recommed Age of Empires III series. It's really good and has good graphics.

Age of Mythology should still be considered "fantasy," even though its source material is classical. There are mythical creatures and characters.

Total War is not exactly "RTS" -- the compaign itself is turn base city/kingdom management, and the combat (when you decide to do it yourself) is real time. of course you can buy the game and only play the combat, but it doesn't seem to be what the game supposed to be. it's a great game for sure, but not sure can be put together with AoM, CoH, C&C and etc...

also, not sure what kind of "graphic" would deem as "good" for OP. for newer generation of players, RoN, AoM and Homeworld might be considered as dated. and the arguement between Total War and CoH? both have top notch graphics. at higher res. the cut scene of CoH would appear to be lacking too much detail (the same goes for WiC), but when really in-game battling, CoH has as detailed and vivid graphic and animation a RTS can ask for (well, DoW 2 seems to aim at topping that!!) and Total War, it's all good. to me, they're both very pretty.

That does look weird. I don't care how 'technically stunning' it is, it's ugly. :P
