I loved playing red alert and command and conquer online when I was younger. It seems like the genre has fallen off.

I recently discovered They Are Billions which I found to be a fun variation of traditional RTS. The goal is to manage resources to build up defenses and defend against large zombie attacks. Single-player only, but I've played it for over 100 hours!

They fell off because they weren't single player anymore. RTS games feel very strategic in singleplayer. You're often working to overcome a seemingly more powerful asymmetric force. In multiplayer you're just grinding through a hyper optimized meta or you're losing.

I've felt this for years but never been able to express it so well.
