You could try the following:
Supreme Commander, sci-fi setting but truelly an epic scale (think insanely large maps and armies)
Alexander, based on the film. The game is a bit like AoE but with a way higher pop cap (somewhere in the 10000 if I'm not mistaken).

yes, supreme commander is a classic,

army men rts is a game that ive played for ages, quite simple, but still fun.

theres always starcraft, and dare i mention it, starcraft 2, if your comp can handle it.

the best rts ive ever played is of course company of heroes. there's nothing like the  micro that you need as well as macro and counters. + the game engine is beautiful. if you have a good enough rig, you can zoom up on fingers that have been blown off.  altogether an amazing game.

End of Nations? It's not out yet but may be something you might want to keep tabs on, or sign up to the beta for, if it's your thing. It's basically a C&C Generals MMO with some WiC aspects, but looks like it could be a lot of fun with 50+ players to a server...

It does look pretty cool but is it only to play against other people? i don't think i'm good enough to play others. I prefer to play against AI in a skirmish type mode

Thanks for the help thought  ;D

RA:2 was definitely my favorite RTS before Company of Heroes. But that's probably been mentioned already.

Sadly the gaming community as a whole isn't so interested in RTS games. They'd rather have a FPS.

Men of War ( whole series) - quite difficult to master, very realistic, cool graphics, demanding multiplayer
Europa Universalis series and/or Hearts of Iron series - complex macro games, they take a lot of time to finish but there are almost unlimited options
Civilization IV ( +Fall From Heaven 2 mod) or Civilization V - another macro games, complex but incredible fun

The only things I hate about Men of War are:
-The stupid AI.
-The lags even with a good pc (bad programmer)
-The infantry animations, I mean seriously they do not breach?
-Infantry which has combat experience (for example Panzergrenadiers) get an Iron body so they almost can't get killed by a volkssturm (that's realistic that the damage of a rifle depends on who it shoots  ???)

AI sucks because MoW is more like multiplayer game, like CoH.
In MoW:AA there's no more body armour, elite infantry is tougher and better in fighting.

Sure, there is. If you call in the Assault Group as Soviet Union. The infantry sitting on top has Body Armour.
I meant this fact: If a Volkssturm shoots a k98 and hits a Ranger he deals a little damage.
However if a Panzergrenadier hits a Ranger with a k98 he deals more damage but it's the SAME bloody weapon.

99+ on everything Walki said. Men of War have some really big issues . The vietnam version is kind of lame because its has no multiplayer. Who is the funniest part of Men of war :S
The biggest plus about MOW is that you can capture enemies vechicles! <3

My English is kind of useless. But that because Iam swedish Wooohoooj! ;3

World in Conflict?

Does MoW have a skirmish mode like Coh does?

MoW Assault Squad has a pretty shallow single player, and also the Dynamic Campaign Generator (DCG) mod which is alright for a bit of compstomping and not overly complex to use (given you read the instructions). Men of War (the original) has a much better single player than Assault Squad, you can also pick up the 'Red Tide' expansion which was pretty decent.
