There are a couple RTS games that I can think of:
Brutal Legend and Sacrifice are third person RTS a bit clunky and dead multiplayers but very fun single player games.
Warhammer 40k Dawn of War I, Winter Assault, Dark Crusade, Soulstorm and II are excellent singleplayer games with a large variety of factions that the player can play as that are always different from each other. Excellent story and voice acting. Huge modding community.
Battlefleet Gothic: Armada I and II are not RTS but RTT. The BGAI is really good but BGAII is really tedious in single player. Very good story for both games.
Of course the Kings of RTS Age of Empires, Age of Mythology, Command and Conquer series and Supreme Commander series are sill the Great.
Supreme Commander II is a lot more light hearted story wise and the gameplay units are named after puns more often than not. Do not go in expecting Total Seraphim Death like the Forged Alliance.
Total War series is hit or miss to me except Total War Rome (Original) and Medieval II, which are the best ones I played. Total War: Warhammer series is only good if you have the Creamapi to get all the DLCs, do not pay for it.
Syrian Warfare is more of a RTT than RTS but I had a lot of fun with this game. Great story and fun gameplay. It reminded me of Tom Clancy's EndWar with units and stolen vehicles are persistent and can be permakilled if your not careful.
Terminator Dark Fate: Defiance is Syrian Warfare but in the Terminator Dark Fate timeline. You can even play as the Terminators in the DLC! But the game is even more RNG than Syrian Warfare with rockets doing either killing a unit or not at all.
Call to Arms- Gates to Hell: Ostfront is playable Men of War I and II. Very excellent game play but terrible voice acting. So less jank Men of War. One of the few games that I know of where you play as German Army during the Eastern Front of WWII in single player. Although the campaign makes sure you know that the player character is not a Nazi supporter. Absurd amount of space required <=64 GBs.
Call to Arms is jank as hell but you can take control of your units. It is a modern setting and the gameplay is alright.
Call to Arms also requires an absurd amount of space at <=42 GBs.
I almost do not want to recommend Men of War series as the games I have were way too jank for me. But when it plays well, it really plays well. I have not heard any good things about Men of War II.
Battlestations: Midway and it's sequel where you place as the US Navy during the Pacific War. Pretty good and you can take control of your units to fight.
Executive Assault where you play as Corporate CEO and go to war against other Corpos. You can take command over any unit that you control. Sequel sucks.
Cepheus Protocol Early Access coming out: Never Ever. Has really good ideas and gameplay but their is just one map playable map. The other, you just get spawn killed by the other faction. But the gameplay can be so cinematic and so much back and forth between you and AI.
Your units stomping the infection? AI sends super units and giant meat towers that you slow down until you get some decent vehicles and anti tank weapons.
Decide to save civilians? AI turns them into zombies that go infect others and attack your units.
Close off areas the AI is in control of? The AI creates aerial and underground units that drop infection units.
Impossible Creatures I can only recommend if you have for GOG as the Stream version tends to wonky. Or at least mine is.
Spellforce series we have WOW at home edition. Great story and world building. There is also Spellforce Conquest of Eo which is Age of Wonders at home.
Star Ruler series. I just made a corvette the size of the galaxy. It is still slow as molasses.
Star Wars: Empire at War I can only recommend if you have the disc copy or the GOG version. Then mod the crap out of it. I never play the ground battles too much as they are always slogs. Space battles are much more fun.
Star Wars: Rebellion is more like Stellaris, a grand strategy game, between the Galactic Empire and the Rebellion. Very fun, but also buggy.
