I recommend Europa Universalis III, it's an excellent RTS (though it feels much more a TBS than an RTS), and it's very addictive. It seems like the thing you're looking for
Sins of a Solar Empire is also an excellent RTS, but it's much more like a 4X game, not too similar to Rise of Nations. Though you can't go wrong by checking it, it's a very fun game too
