#2I feel like there’s been little going on in RTS land. Did I miss any significant releases?

Nope, feel like the last major release the masses played was Starcraft 2, and that's over 10 years old now.

Maybe there's some underground scene for hardcore RTS players, but as a (formerly) casual follower of the Starcraft 2 pro scene, it seems like MOBAs ate their lunch.
It's really a shame, since there was nothing quite like the intensity of a 1v1 match between two players controlling an army with a nearly unlimited skill cap...
As much as I've tried, I simply cannot make any sense of the on-screen visual overload of MOBAs like DOTA or League of Legends. Why is it so much harder to find myself engaged by MOBA battles than RTS (mostly Starcraft) battles? I don't really know.

Sure feels like the genre is mostly dead. Kind of sad

To my knowledge, Supreme Commanders Forged Alliance Forever (FAF) community has been updating the game and has a fairly active community. It seems to be in a fairly good state, wish I was in the position in life to be able to relax and dump some hours into playing it. Was always a fun game.

Company of Heroes was an outstanding release, and its sequel is a good game with a still living, active community.
Company of Heroes 3 was recently announced, and its launch will probably get a lot of old players back into the multiplayer lobbies.

FaF is great and basically the most modern RTS I regularly play. (Using FAF Forever or something) but technically it’s a buggy and slow mess that performs bad.

CoH is great, i’ve seen the CoH3 announcement! I’ll definitely give that one a try

Check out Zero-K if you haven't already. Open source RTS and arguably the best, but definitely has that lingering ol' open source taste to it.
