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?

Thinking of Relic, looks like Homeworld remastered is <$4 cad and I've heard amazing things about that series, might have to grab it myself, the DoW series are easily my favourite RTS games.

I've tried a few space RTS games, and it's not my favorite. They tend to be extremely slow paced to simulate the vastness of space. At super low prices it can be worth it to try out, but it's definitely a different experience to consuming a map with an ork waaaagh.
