God I always think of the RTS games as being 90s things

In truth I don't think many came after Warcraft 3, but The Frozen Throne expansion would come the following year and WC3 would maintain a pretty impressive player base over the next 10 years.

Sins of a Solar Empire released in 2008, but by that time the RTS genre had fizzled out and most entries would fit more into 4X or Grand Strategy.

Starcraft 2 was 2010, with the final expansion in 2015.

There's several attempts to have a more traditional RTS coming soon/out. Stormgate and Beyond All Reason are the big two.
