Anyone know of any good (and preferrably cheap) 2d graphics engines out there that would be suitable for say an RTS type game or sim city?

What do you mean engines? Do you mean the ones that do every thing for you (a-la on click "game maker") or something productive that will help you program a game?

Since you posted it in the "Programmers Corner", I will recommend the best in my opinion -> XNA. While it is great for 3D, it is great for 2D as well, and you can eventually upload your game to the Microsoft app-store for the Zune (if the game is capable to run on a Zune, of course, but it should as you are making 2D). There are countless XNA tutorials on the internet, but if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask. Smile

heh you ask for an engine but you get a framework
Also you don't really learn to program with those high level languages like C#, although it is a nice language. Smile
I would check out FIFE
