During the Steam Real-Time Strategy Festival, what games would you recommend buying? I mainly played turn-based strategy games like HoMM, Pennon and Battle in the past. Now I am interested in trying RTS games. Are there any must-have series games you would recommend?
Most the must haves are older, some aren’t on steam, but are worth checking out if you end up liking some others.
- dawn of war 1 and 2.
- StarCraft 1 and 2.
- Warcraft 3, 1 and 2 are very dated, but if you like the style/setting try them.
- AOE 2 and 3. Maybe 4, I find it a step backwards.
- age of mythology.
- Rise of nations and legends.
- beyond all reason

Not sure if they are on sale or not but a few staple RTS games that are definitely worth checking out imo:
Probably way more, RTS isn’t a major staple of what I play but these titles are pretty diverse and will give a good taste of some of the genres best IMO. Of course Starcraft as well but I don’t think that’s on steam.

Look into the FAF community for supreme commander. Dramatically improves the game with an active multiplayer community
