I've been playing almost exclusively a strange subset of the RTS genre lately, and I want more. 
 
Games like Emergency 2012, Dungeon Keeper, Evil Genius, Stronghold 2, even DEFCON
 
They all fit this "Alternative RTS Experience" label. They are Real Time Strategy games, but they all differ from the standard C&C or Warcraft or Ages formula centered around war and base building. Instead they have you micro-ing emergency responders, building interesting resource chains or some other interesting angle on being a commander. 
 
My problem now, trying to find more, is that there is no genre or tag out there I can search for to find similar games. This ringing any bells in your head as to games that are a shot?

As odd a choice as it seems to make this rather than AOE IV, wouldn't it be great for AOE to be the game to nail the free to play model?

So TAD expansion made by Big Huge Games doesn't count either?

Yes, that's extremely similar to the sound I have in mind. Definitely in the same vein. One of the games I had in mind for it was actually Sim City 2000. Pity it isn't named.

There is this one movie sound clip that I hear all the time, very cliche. I've even heard it in some video games so if we can figure this out there is maybe a concept page to be made. It is a female police dispatcher squawking over the radio, just a couple of words at most. Very clipped, very short and often in the background of a scene coming out of a parked squad car during some city wide emergency. 
 
The best clue I can give you is that it sounds a lot like the name "Kosturbanic." This comes up because I met someone with that last name and as soon as I heard it I realized that was the perfect word to use when trying to replicate the sound. The sound clip really doesn't sound like anything intelligible, so having this near-synonym to give your mouth shape works wonders in replicating the sound accurately. 
 
Now mild internet sleuthing has not turned up any results for me. I was under the impression it would be a well known sound clip like the Wilhelm scream since ever one I've described it too in person has instantly gotten the reference. So I turn to you, Giant Bomb community: name that sound!

Lets not forget about TANG season 2. Ryan in particular would be excited about that.
