There's still nothing that comes close to Warcraft 3 (the original, not the remastered abomination, don't fucking touch it). Dawn of War 40k had some neat ideas as well.

So probably WC3 -> DoW 40k -> Starcraft 1/2 -> weep because the genre is dead

Not for lack of trying, though. Stormgate and Tempest Rising are boty trying to take on the mantle of Starcraft 2 with probable releases this/next year.

But yeah overall high production values pickings are pretty slim - last year saw Company of Heroes 3, 2022 had a Dune game, 2021 had Age of Empires 4. 2020 might be a high point with Warcraft 3, C&C, and AoE 3 remasters.
