What beginner friendly RTS game can you recommend?

As a quick background, RTS is completely new to me. I spend majority of my time in FPS type games but want to branch out a bit and try out something different/new (to me).

Requirements:

  • Somewhat casual (if that’s possible)
  • Somewhat easy to learn
  • Relatively modern with decent graphics (something that looks nice)
  • Runs on Linux (of course) and Steam
  • tal@lemmy.todayEnglish

    Your Linux distro probably packages 0ad, which is free and open source.

    It also probably also packages spring, an RTS engine – originally TA Spring, based on Total Annihilation, and it looks like it’s also on Steam. Can play a couple of RTSes that use it, like Zero-K, which is similar to Total Annihilation.
