14) World in Conflict Series:

This game ranges from a relatively in-depth campaign to a revolution in strategy games. World in Conflict re-imagines the Soviet Invasion of the USA. It's collector's edition even included a piece of the Berlin Wall.

Now, World in Conflict removed the resource system, and the "unit construction facilities" and instead gives you a limited budget with which to call in parachuted troops/vehicles behind allied lines. In addition, the maps/world has very interactable structures and terrain - you can have (and see) soldiers invading and fighting through buildings...and securing/guarding them afterwards. You can order in air strikes and helicopters to also level said buildings, or to blow up parts of the land (creating cover).

Multiplayer had a ranking system that rewarded those who played online more with a larger budget. :|

Singleplayer had a campaign of soldiers, depicted rather realistically. I don't want to spoil it, because it has some incredible tear-jerking moments mixed with "WTF, you Computer A-hole" moments (not a flaw in the Computer's AI) mixed with "camaraderie."

Some say Supreme Commander is one of the most complex Strategy games, but after playing it, Age of Mythology, and World in Conflict, I strongly urge you to play the latter two if you can.
