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.

I’m not saying that it’s a bad game, but that game is absolutely ancient, and he has “Relatively modern with decent graphics (something that looks nice)”.

Check out the definitive Edition then which was released in 2019, the latest DLC with new civilizations was added a week ago. It’s a fantastic game with a large active community around it.
