| salaminizer said: another good TBS is Sword of the Stars (this one has 3 expansions but you can get the whole pack with a good price), which is a space strategy game focused on combat, with 6 races that play very different from each other, the research tree varies in each game (some technologies are simply not available) and you can design your own ships too. on the RTS side there's Men of War and Sins of a Solar Empire

This.
Never played Men of War, but Sword of the Stars and Sins of a Solar Empire are both amazing space strat games.
Also Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance is a must play, and can also be had for low low priced via DD these days. Unlike the previously mentioned it takes place planetside, and is basically an epic outsized CnC with much larger scale and scope, is optimized for dual monitors if you have then and also optimized for quad core CPUs.
Between these 3 games, a strategy gamer has plenty of epicness ahead of them, more than enough to last until march when we get CnC4, SC2 and SC2 ( Starcraft 2 and Supreme Commander 2.... )
