The top RTS experience you've enjoyed is Sins of a Solar Empire. You've spent over 50 hours in a single campaign and love how it offers massive replay value. The game's thriving mod scene—with expansions, longer phases, and sci-fi conversion packs—keeps it fresh. It's a standout for its community support and endless possibilities. If you haven't tried it yet, definitely give it a go!
Planetary Annihilation seems set for a grey goo scenario. The home version is remastered, and as you mentioned, Sins of a solar empire is always a solid choice.
Did Sim City qualify as a strategy game? I’m not sure. But back in the Windows XP era, I remember playing it on a CD—probably titled something like 'Rise of the People.' It seemed to be set in ancient Native American times. You’d quickly form a group of people, then rush to battle another team (the computer handled that). If you won, you moved on to the next level. You could send different kinds of characters—regular soldiers, magic users, even horses. It was pretty interesting. Honestly, I haven’t played any real RTS games since then.
Homeworld was one of the first titles that sparked my passion for the RTS genre! Excited to try Remastered You with any cool mods on Sins?
Also missed Grey Goo, so I'm looking into it now—appreciate the help!
