Real-time Strategy Games with 3D Maps

I am NOT looking for 3D RTS games such as: WarCraft 3, Age of Mythology, Empire Earth. They are 3D but their maps are still 2D. And their gameplay doesn't feel much different from 2D real-time strategy games.

I am looking for RTS games that have 3D maps. I don't know, maybe like Black and White, Homeworld, Dark Reign, Sacrifice, ...

What I want is a whole new dimension of real-time strategy gaming. 

So please give me some suggestions.

Total Annihilation had 3D maps where unit elevation had an impact on gameplay. Since they had it, I'm almost certain that Supreme Commander would as well since its development was overseen by the same guy.

Warcraft 3 is full 3D - Some people just fail to find the rotation buttons (including reviewers)... But try Supreme Commander, it's quite nice considering it's the first rpg in years that brings something new to the genre.

I know it's a few years old (I'm a bit behind the times with RTS games as it's not my main genre for gaming) but I just dowloaded the Command and Conquer Generals demo. Awesome game. I grabbed it because my original Red Alert won't work in XP. (I've tried everything). I was very impressed with C & C Generals. I'm gonna pick up the game next week. It has fully 3D graphics. It's not in space or anything, but all the objects are 3D. The graphics are just beautiful if you ask me. Great game considering it came out in 2003. :)

Yeah homeworld for true 3D maps.

RTS like Supreme commander and others alike are like 2.5D.

Vertically they just have discrete planes.

 Homeworld2 is really great game, the singleplayer campaign is just superb.

I would get C&C the First Decade instead. It has the first twelve C&C games including generals and the sero hour expansion for 30-40 dollars

I think company of heroes would count as fully 3D, because there are actuall buildings and hills that will block out real bullets

If the so called true 3D maps are what i think you're referring to, Homeworld 1 and 2 are the only ones that have em that are any good.Well actually there's another very unknown game called Hegemonia that was very similar to Homeworld, as well.

Hegemonia is a game I wanted to pick up due to it's similarity to Homeworld, but it kind of slipped past me.
