What is your RTS background?

Gosh. Considering how young I am, I'm surprised I've played so many.

-First ever RTS that I played was AoE 2. Man that game was fantastic. Also has one of the easiest map editors to use ever.
-Supreme Commander
-Forged Alliance (It really is a game in itself. But I put waaaaay too many hours into that game. And only into campaign and AI.)
-SupCom2 (188 hours according to steam)
-AoE3 (and asian dynasties)
-AoEO (not a lot, but enough to enjoy it (23hr). I only wish microsoft hadn't developed it.)
-CnC Generals
-CoH (not very long, I only just got it on steam when it was on sale)
-starcraft (zerg all the way, though I suck at that game)
-Starcraft 2 WoL (Again, zerg all the way, and managed to get myself into the sliver leagues)
-SoSE (This is up there as one of the coolest RTSs ever, along with SupCom)
-Empire at War/Forces of Corruption (How did you miss this one! It's like, the only 'modern' star wars RTS around! Put a lot of hours into these ones. The galactic conquest feature (and only one I've played besides sins to have space warfare) was fantastic.)

And the only one I've ever played competetively/with people I don't know is WoL. That will change with PA.

(Hah, and then when you get into turn based strategy, there's galactic civ, Civ3/5, moonbase commander. Dayum. How have I played so many games.)

To mention other games that I found quite good at that time, was Earth Series, 2140/50 and so on. Warzone 2100? StarTrek Armada 2, Rise of Legends...

ah the days of 8472
