    Age of Empires II.

    Age of Mythology, Civilization series, Caeser series, Populous, Black and White (to an extent...)

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t

    Cossacks is a very good and very similar real time strategy game. Of course, the command and conquer series is good as well. Shogun: Total War is worth checking out if you like war games.

    Games that are build-as-many-units-as-you-can-in-the-shortest-time-without-thinking-and-gain-map-control-to-win:

    AOE Series
    Age of Mythology
    StarCraft
    WarCraft Series
    Empire Earth

    Games that are the same but require more thought and map-control isn't as important:

    Settlers Series
    C&C Series

    Turn-based Strategies:

    Heroes of Might and Magic Series
    Civilization Series

    I wouldn`t go as far as saying the C&C series requires THAT much thought
    Not the single player game atleast.

    Well, i don&#39;t know about that. I mean, sure, if you learn what the comp does then it&#39;s far too easy to win and it doesn&#39;t require thought, but if you&#39;re new to the game then you have to think to win - and in Multiplayer too. See, the thing with RA 2 especially is that all units are good against only one thing. For example, a prism tank is almost useless against appocalypses but it&#39;s great against infantry. A rhino tank can punch through armour in a flash but is almost useless against anything else. In other games, StarCraft for example, everyone is fairly similar - that is, firebats are good vs. zealots but if you can build 4 marines in the time that you can build a firebat (it&#39;s possible &#39;cause you don&#39;t have to build the academy), then the marines are great substitutes, and if you place your buildings write, the zeals won&#39;t stand a chance. In RA 2 building placement almost doesn&#39;t matter, but instead you have to choose your units carefully to win. That&#39;s where you need to think.
