Searching for some strategy games

I would like to play a certain type of strategy games so im wondering if any of you have some recomendations for me.

What im looking for is kind of LOTR BFME 2, Rise of Nations... type of strategy games where you build ur buildings, barracks etc... and train units.

The game must have a skirmish.

The game can be either fantasy like LOTR or realistic like RON, but I don't want modern games, I want more medieval/ancient type of games, swords, archers etc...

I also want the factions in the game to be unique like they are in LOTR, thats one of the biggest things I like in strategy games, unique factions ( For example Age of Empires 3 does not fit this category as the factions pretty much are almost completely the same, have the same buildings, same units with very few exeptions. )

Do you like 4x strategy games with RPG elements?

I've put in a lot of hours recently in Fallen Enchantress.

I do but atm im looking for more of bfme, warcraft3, starcraft2 etc... types of strategy games.

command and conquer 3 tibirium wars. enough said

Try Age of Empires Online, it's free after all :D 

check out Spellforce series.

Warcraft 3.

modern RTS games are where its at now days, I'd recommend these ones:

Warhammer 40K Dawn of War Series

Company of Heroes Series (Eastern front mod)

CNC Generals

Supreme Commander w/ FA expansion pack

Starcraft II

AOE online

Some good advices, but some are completely off, did you even read my 1st post guys?

Im not looking for modern or futuristic types of games, im looking for more like swords/archers etc... and can also be fantasy based like BFME or Age of Mythology.

Il check spellforce series, other than that I played mostly all of those recommendations that fit the criteria.

sounds like you'd like a game called Kohan 2. It's a fantasy RTS available on Steam. There are many factions ranging from humans, to elves, to undead, to demons, and even beast-like races. It's an older game so it's 2D but still fun. One of the drawbacks is that you can't build a base with the same freedom you have in BFME 2. Think how the bases were like in BFME 1

Another fantasy RTS is a game called Heroes of Annihilated Empires. Its similar to Kohan in that there are many races to play and battles can be huge and epic.  However, the game doesn't seem very balanced, theres some bugs, and I haven't found out how to get it to work on Windows 7

sorry for double post, forgot to mention Knights of Honor. Another old RTS game but its more of a grand strategy game set in the middle ages. Think total war but in 2D. There is a grand map of Europe, many many factions to play as, battles play out in real time, manage an empire, etc.
