Need a Castle / Base building RTS recommendation

[nemesismk2]

Warcraft II
Total annihilation
Total War: Shogun
Total War: SHOGUN 2

Are some that come to mind

I found Total Annihilation Kingdoms to be very good with lots of defences to build.

I know this forum is dead. But two things, First I just went through at at work and got a list of games I had never heard of before and now wish to play

Second does anyone know of an rts game where I focus on upgrading my defenses and base (castle, space station whatever) and depending on my upgrades with auto build units. Whether they auto attack or not is not as important. I like focusing on the upgrades. And I find games always have to few upgrades to tech into.

Sins of a Solar Empire seems to have most of this. It has been quite a long time since i have played however, but I seem to remember it having those mechanics.

For 4X games, Fallen Enchantress and galactic Civilizations 2 also have that upgrading units and buildings mechanic, but those are turn based. I like the latter two games more, but found Sins as a good light strategy game when i played it.
