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

    I always liked planetary annihilation. It is really easy, looks decent, and has a native Linux version. That it’s placed in a planet system makes it different to many other RTS.

      Haha, a PA fellow here!

      PA is very cool when you find players matching your skills. I have good memories of 4V4 games, when both teams synchronise to puts players with the same level at the same starting location so everyone have fun.

      It does not have that much soul, IMHO, and performance problems when games stands too long on multiplanetary systems.
