Civilization and Advance Wars are quite the opposite of a RTS game. Two of the best turn-based strategy franchises ever created.

My all-time favorites in RTS genre:
1. Dune II: Battle for Arrakis
2. Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness
3. Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings
4. Age of Empires
5. Command & Conquer

Honorable mention goes to The Settlers II (it is often mentioned as RTS, especially by English speaking people, but I think it's a building sim with very few strategy elements. Anyway: it was a great game).
