I agve up on RTS games after playing Orcs & Humans, some MS thing and C & C and realizing they were all the exact same game with different paint jobs. My sons tried to keep me ineterested until he was playing SW: Empires at War and told me, "Yeah, this is like the others" and turned it off in bitter disillusionment.
I've seen DoW on the shelf but haven't found the strength.
