Have you tried Supreme Commander? It's the spiritual successor to TA and is amazing. There's a community lobby, Forged Alliance Forever, that has a solid number of active players.

I've never actually played Supreme Commander Forged Alliance or any of the Supreme Commander titles. But I love watching gameplay of it.

Gyle's channel on Youtube has some of the best replays around if you're like me and just like watching competitive RTS gaming.

Should I play 1 or 2?
https://www.faforever.com is a community lobby/patch for SupCom:FA (first series). They continue to patch it and support the multiplayer lobby.

SupCom 2 was hot trash. An attempt to make an RTS xbox friendly. Some of the worst voice acting in decades of gaming.

Not 2; that's a whole different beast that was not well received. Play Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, which is more or less v. 1.5, and widely considered to be the pinnacle of the series.

The original Supreme Commander is not bad as well and interesting if you want to see the storyline that Forged Alliance sprang from.
