KeenGamer: ''The second World War is one of the most profound events in human history and tells the story of one man who nearly conquered the entire world. Eugen Systems has done a superb job in bringing this event to your PC and putting the fate of millions in your hands through their historically accurate, WWII, real-time strategy game, Steel Division 2. No other RTS game I've ever played has been able to match what I experienced here, and I fear none ever will.''

Very refreshing to see a story give the list right at the top of the article rather than making you click through it 15 times. Having said that, how do you not have HoMM3 on the list?! Yes, it's turn-based strategy, but it still has a strong multiplayer following 22 years later.
Asad Quadri of The Koalition writes: Eugen Systems have a reputation for making some of the toughest RTS games available. Unlike most RTS games where you are given a base to gather resources and build armies, the RTS games that Eugen makes requires you to earn your reinforcements immediately in battle, most of the time with little to no guidance.
The best way for a player to make their mark on the game or tailor the flow of a match to their playstyle is through deck-building or battlegroup composition.
