So, yeah, in the mood for awesome looking strategy games...

AoE3 (+exps) look fantastic (especially for a 2005 game), but gameplay is a bit ...
Wathammer Mark of Chaos is nice looking game, but it gets old really fast.
WiC
Anno 1701 was fantastic...

What else?

Before you say Supreme Commander, please bang your head on the nearest wall and look at it again, now you might notice it's "meh."

I miss the good old days when strategy games looked good enough to make a point, but not sluggish and annoying to play. (Yes I AM talking about performance)

The guys doing C&C still know how to make a decently optimized yet good looking game...Supreme Commander was, and still is one of the best concepts I've ever seen, but I always wished it would run a little faster; on settings a little higher than what I could use, same goes for CoH and especially World in Conflict, that thing had my PC pukin' blood.

Blame! don't act!

CnC 3 was a good (looking) game, including the cheesy yet enjoyable live-action cut scenes.

Yeah. Otherwise I have found World in Conflict gameplay quickly boring.

@ Leo

Tried Anno 1701's expansion pack (the sunken dragon)?

Opposing fronts + DX10 = win
I'm eagerly waiting for Dawn of War II too! The Force Commander in the official trailer looks badass.

Had however a tiresome install process:

It's sad to see what passes as "strategy games" these days =/

Strategy-light, maybe.

I also think fisk should be unbanned.

It's not that bad either in the gameplay department, just don't expect it to have the depth or the Total War series.

You don't need any of that, it simply works with DT Lite.

Another cute looking with good gfx RTS game, imo, is Settlers 6.
