Good new RTS?

Wanted to get a new RTS. I already have CnC generals, RTW and Civ4...

Did not like the star wars demo for some reason. I was thinking between Warhammer 40ks, act of war and BFME2. Any other reccomendations?
 
Warhammer 40k (and the expansion) is one of the best RTS's out there.

Also, for a change, download Rome:Total Realism modification for RTW. It makes it 10x better.

Another vote for Warhammer and Act of War. Both are excellent.

What about online play and playability...Will act of war run on 300ms latencies given thats its such a complex game? Ive played the demo and liked it...But I only want to get one for now.

Fair enough. Just letting you know rometotalrealism makes it a whole new experience (they changed quite a bit, for the better).

But pick up WH40k. Awesome game.

I have to disagree. Too much micromanagement. I pre ordered BFME2 and Empire at War. I bailed on Empire after I got the demo CD.

Glad you like it, how does it compare to the demo?

I heard there really wasn't much micromanagement in SW. Maybe that is incorrect? BTW, does anyone know if they fixed the multiplayer bugs in that game yet?

hahahaha, wtf... to much micromanagement? how so? theres like 8 different buildinds, 8 different troops, and 8 different spacecraft to buy.
 
I played the WAR40K demo...seems like a nice game...Ill try the AOW demo and decide...But WAR40K should have a much larger online player base. I played the first few missions of AOW but did not like them (story line and campaign) but skirmishes seem nice.
 
Star Wars: Empire at War
LOTR: The Battle for Middle Earth 2

Or if you want to play a turn-based game... one that's like a completely clone of Masters of Orion, check out Galactic Civilizations 2 from Stardock.

That was before I became interested in RTSs...First I played was RA2 😛 ..Ive tried starcraft a couple of times but just can't get used to the visuals 😛

Act of Wars new expansion pack with naval units looks decent too.

I might pick up LOTR: BF2...The demos pretty large..Takes time to download on a 256 shared connection where I can only download at night 🙁 ....
