I grew up on several RTS games in the late nineties. Dune 2000, several Command & Conquer games, StarCraft 1, Warcraft 3, Emperor: Battle for Dune, Age of Empire 2, etc. It's sad the state of RTS nowadays. I never got really good at this genre, nor do I play competitively like some players do, but I always revisited the genre and look for new RTS games now and then. I just find building up your base and army, and coming up with a strategy to attack the enemy's base while defending your own in campaign mode to be pretty fun.

StarCraft 2 is better than it has ever been for watching pro play (I highly recommend the caster WinterStarcraft) but I dont actually play it myself anymore. Not sure how healthy the casual player base is these days.
I don't know why. I find watching competitive StarCraft 1 matches on ArtosisCasts more enjoyable than StarCraft 2 lately. It might be because it's my first love and I like the old RTS, but I'll check out Winter StarCraft sometime.

In trying to find info about the C&C game I read about (was it literally just a dream?), I did find they are making a spiritual successor called Tempest Rising that got favorable reviews during play testing.
Neat. I'll have to put that game on my radar, along with StormGate.
