RTS recommendation (lemmy.world)

What beginner friendly RTS game can you recommend?

As a quick background, RTS is completely new to me. I spend majority of my time in FPS type games but want to branch out a bit and try out something different/new (to me).

Requirements:

  • Somewhat casual (if that’s possible)
  • Somewhat easy to learn
  • Relatively modern with decent graphics (something that looks nice)
  • Runs on Linux (of course) and Steam

I was and still am a big fan of the original Warhammer 40k: dawn of war.

This and CC Generals are the best non-Blizzard RTS to date, IMHO.

Generals is hard to run on Linux, but DoW runs flawlessly.

I’m almost positive I have 40k somewhere but last time I looked at some gameplay, it seemed very overwhelming

Edit: my apologies, it looks like I got Total War: Warhammer confused with Warhammer 40k. Total War: Warhammer 3 is the one I have and it seemed huge in scale and very overwhelming
