I was just thinking I used to spend a lot of time playing Real Time Strategy Games (RTS) like Command & Conquer/Red Alert, Age of Empires, Warcraft 3, Tiberium Sun and Total Annihilation. Didn't really like the Total War series, though I know they are popular.
So what are the top games in the genre at the moment?

I expected Warcraft 3 Reforged to be the next big thing, but that was before the whole... well, recent Blizzard news.
It will probably still be the biggest RTS of the year when it launches.

^Yes well I played Warcraft 3 to death in my teenage years so a remaster isn't that interesting to me. Likewise AoE.
More looking for what have been the new fresh RTS games.
Iron Harvest has my attention but isn't due for release until 2020.

Northgard and Tooth and Nail I believe are the most recent ones of any note.

This thread made me find out that Age of Empires II has been updated couple years ago, thanks. I think I could try my hands on that. Anything else, I suck at. I'm more of turn based guy: Jagged Alliance 2, Planescape: Torment, Fallout, etc.

That's assuming the heat has died down by the time it comes out. I don't think Blizzard has actually given any more details about the game since it was initially announced. Like, they told us "Hey, we're remaking that game you all love!" and then radio silence. |

There really isnt much.
Total War keeps itself relevant but besides that nothing keeps attention.The "map war" theme is mostly popular with games like Civ nowdays.
Dawn of War specially had a big downfall.
