Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty (1992) re-defined the genre--it's "the mother of all modern RTS games."

Before 1992 many RTS games had harvesting resources, making structures/units, or taking territory:
Final Frontier (1987);
Populous (1989);
Supremacy (1991); etc., **
... but not all of these things (yes, Dune II has all of them).

** [ The Ancient Art of War (1984) is squad strategy--you configure and position, but not control, individual units. ]
