Looking for an RTS, please help! *POLL*

I'm looking for an RTS to play... normally, I've been into turn-based strategy, specifically Civilization. Part of my attraction to that franchise is that I'm a history buff, but particularly fond of ancient history. Hence, why I figured AOE might be a good move for me. But then again, Company of Heroes got really good reviews. It's also historical and I'm definitely into that era, as much as it's been generally overdone in the video game world. Command And Conquer? Played the demo on the 360 and thought it was pretty cool, but like these sorts of games better on PC.

Suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help... and sorry to those who hate these kinds of topics, please don't flame just bite your tongue and walk away respectfully. 

From the games that we can vote on I would say go for CoH :)

That game rocks !!! and then I would play C&C 3

Hope that all the posts help you to make a choice

Medieval 2: Total war seems like what you'd like since it has a turn based element plus an rts one.

But seriously, where is Dawn of War???

Ya, Dawn of War is great. 

Medieval II: Total war is great... But if you don`t mind to play a game from 2002 that plays of in the Old Japan i would say Battle Realms!
