You think Starcraft doesn't require micromanagement?! You must have not liked Zerg, then. If you really got them going, it was not easy. Especially setting up an entire linear routine of Nydus Canals and then sending 75 Zerglings and another horde of Ultra/Hydralisks through. It has plenty of micromanagement.
Anyways, if you haven't played Rise of Nations, you should, especially if you want micromanagement. It's still not too shabby in the graphics department, although it isn't too impressive. Or, wait for C&C3. 🙂 Coming in March. I can't wait, hopefully it's a break from the horrid cultural stereotypes of Generals. It will wook weal nice when it's done. I swear the Chinese are a speech impediment minefield on that game.
 
Galactic Civilizations 2 is another great choice. My First pick is the Total War series, but those have already been mentioned a couple of times.
 
Nah, I was saying if there was a way to minimize some of the micromanagement, I'd probably still play Starcraft. I'm in my 30's now, can't keep track of everything like I used to.

Yep, played Rise of Nations many times, great game. Will have to check out the Legends game, and the Total War series. I never knew it was partly turn based🙂 I'll look for Act of War as well.

Thx!

 
Warhammer 40K DOW Gold Edition (loved it)
C&C
Total War (right now MIITW)
almost forgot Company of Heroes

Well, guess none of those are original though.
 
The entire c&c series, generals included, the fanbase of c&c have low opinions of it and if you visit planetc&c you will realise they have a low opinion of everything and shouldnt be listened to 😛 Generals is good gameplay wise, story sucks though.

Also starcraft, the best RTS ever made, wherever i go, and theres a comp, i take my starcraft & broodwar cd which is 9 years old. This game is THAT good.
