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?
