if you like naval battles try Ultimate admiralI am interested in real time strategy games for PC like Civilization series or Hearts of Iron, some medium difficult, but not too casual.

Civ is turn based, not RTS. I have not played Hearts of Iron, but I was told it is by the makers of Gettysburb, which I enjoy, but that is not RTS either.I am interested in real time strategy games for PC like Civilization series or Hearts of Iron, some medium difficult, but not too casual.

Hearts of Iron is RTS but has a setting for real slow and is pausable.Civ is turn based, not RTS.

Age of Empires is generally thought of as the mold. . .
I have a game that I have not really invested a lot of time in. . . but I have when I have that itch which is considered the latest state of the art in RTS, Total War: Warhammer II.
Other than that, AoE is usually that fall back for me.

On a related note ...Civ is not an RTS. That would be a 4x type game.
There are a LOT of those games out there and most pretty decent. Particularly civ clones as civ is the current pinnacle of that genera. That is a fantastic series, one of my favorite series.
I played EQ for about 7 years.EverQuest burned up more of my time on a of than anyother one. I'd rate it as my favorite.
Same here then switched to DDO and now play NeverwinterI played EQ for about 7 years.

Empire Earth was king of them all. Supreme Commander is #2.
Totally and completely loved, loved loved EE.
Raised my kid on that and AOE.
He ended up buying that STEAM version of AOE2. He complained that they never really made a good RTS game after EE, AOE, and AOE2. I searched a long time and found Supreme Commander 2 and bought it for him one year for one of his Christmas presents. He liked it, I think maybe he wasn't into it as much as he could have been, mostly because we had already discovered Company of Heroes. So, between that and Rise of Nations, the Supreme Commander took back seat till the second and third gen Total War games came out.
I mostly play MMORPG's now, but my kid still favors the RTS, and that is his game, a TOTAL WAR game, that is what all the RTS fans out there go to now, hell, the trailer has over a billion views. It is probably the top RTS now, with of course, the exception of Starcraft II.
The only probably I had with Shogun II versus the WarHammer, and TBH? We haven't even tried to see if the WarHammer has solved the issue, the kid has been too busy with college, and I haven't taken the time to learn the WarHammer story and system, but the Shogun II always went out of sync. late game for multiplayer. That was a always a HUGE disappointment. I'm just a bit hesitant to put in the time, only to find out they still have a sync issue late game, after throwing in a couple days investment into it.That's the thing.
Between the Total War games and CoH the old school RTS's just don't hold up. I admit the Total War games aren't true RTS's - but Shogun II is probably the finest war game ever made.
