During the Steam Real-Time Strategy Festival, what games would you recommend buying? I mainly played turn-based strategy games like HoMM, Pennon and Battle in the past. Now I am interested in trying RTS games. Are there any must-have series games you would recommend?

Not sure if they are on sale or not but a few staple RTS games that are definitely worth checking out imo:

  • Command and Conquer series
  • Age of Empires specifically 2 and 4
  • Supreme Commander (with the Forged Alliance expansion)

Probably way more, RTS isn’t a major staple of what I play but these titles are pretty diverse and will give a good taste of some of the genres best IMO. Of course Starcraft as well but I don’t think that’s on steam.

Look into the FAF community for supreme commander. Dramatically improves the game with an active multiplayer community
