I have played a few strategy games over the years (warcraft 2, 3, CoH) but I have always hated how long of an investment of time it takes to not only feel comfortable in these games but actually be decent at. I have always liked RPG and tower defense games because there is a strategy to them but the learning curve is quite easy and it can be learned in half an hour.
In the end I liked the RTS games I have put time into in the past but it seems the learning curve on modern RTS games is higher to a lot higher than it used to be in games from 5-15 years ago. Am I wrong about this?
I am looking for suggestions on RTS games that are comparatively easier to get into than say Starcraft 2 (at least I have heard the learning curve is pretty high).
