I still play: StarCraft: Brood Wars, StarCraft 2, Alpha Centauri, Master of Orion 2, Sins of a Solar Empire, Command and Conquer Red Alert 2, Dark Reign 1 and 2, Battlezone 2, Sacrifice and Dungeon Keeper, Total Annihilation, Supreme Commander, Homeworld 2 remastered and a few others.

I absolutely loved Company of Heroes, but the sequels didn't live up to that same high for me sadly.

What I really want is a remaster of Black and White... Or just a Black and White 3, but with lionhead gone and EA as one of the worst tech companies imaginable, that is a pipe dream.

Truly a man of refined taste! Have you tried the latest entry of Master of Orion, Conquer the Stars? I've been thinking about picking it up, but I've heard meh things about it. Endless Space 2 was my space 4X fix for quite a while till I heard about some community patches that modernizes Alpha Centauri, so I'll be trying that out here soon. 

But the StarCraft series, Warcraft 3 from time to time despite the remake being a disappointment, Age of Empires 2, 3, and soon Mythology: Retold, Rise of Nations, Empire Earth, and C&C Remastered Collection I still bust out with at least once or twice a month.

I actually haven't played Company of Heroes before. I was hoping to play 3, but when I saw how disappointing it was that I pulled back.

I have! Sadly though, Conquer the Stars still couldn't measure up to Master of Orion 2... Which funnily enough I play on the hardest difficulty these days with 7 comps and still manage to win. - Part of MOO2's brilliance was it's simplicity, but that simplicity could be used to drive more tactical gameplay.

Definitely try out the first Company of Heroes, the campaign was such a great story, especially if you don't mind WW2 drama, it's visually aged these days though, which is often a deal breaker for many with these older games.

Should mention that StarCraft 2 released in 2010, so that game turns 15 years old next year... We are overdue for a new game.
I remember building my Phenom 2 x6 1090T PC JUST to play that game.
