action strategy games
Proog:
I remember seeing some of it, though I never really understood it. When I hear the soldier swapping feature I'm reminded of one of the Battlefield games, but I'm not sure which one it is.
Maybe you can look into that one, I think it was some lame Xbox original I played.

Real-time tactics or RTT is a subgenre of tactical wargames played in real-time simulating the considerations and circumstances of operational warfare and military tactics. It is differentiated from real-time strategy gameplay by the lack of resource micromanagement and base or unit building, as well as the greater importance of individual units and a focus on complex battlefield tactics.*
As you can see, these are all real time strategy games, with Battalion Wars being a slightly different type of RTS, so I'm still going with my recommendation of SC2. Rise of Nations reminds me a bit too much of Age of Mythology, so you should try that one too. Both are fun RTS games, but both are different enough to not be boring clones of the same game with different graphics.

all the game I listed are ether third person shooter or first person shooter (or slasher) strategy games not RTS games
age of mythology is a RTS
Mushroom man:
RTS games?
What about the Total War games? They're very good.
But if you want something with more action and less realism, try Age of Empires or Dawn of War. Maybe Starcraft.

what are you talking about?
Real-time strategy (RTS) is a sub-genre of strategy video game which does not progress incrementally in turns.
In a RTS, as in other wargames, the participants position and maneuver units and structures under their control to secure areas of the map and/or destroy their opponents' assets. In a typical RTS, it is possible to create additional units and structures during the course of a game. This is generally limited by a requirement to expend accumulated resources. These resources are in turn garnered by controlling special points on the map and/or possessing certain types of units and structures devoted to this purpose. More specifically, the typical game of the RTS genre features resource gathering, base building, in-game technological development and indirect control of units.
The tasks a player must perform to succeed at a RTS can be very demanding, and complex user interfaces have evolved to cope with the challenge. Some features have been borrowed from desktop environments, most prominently the technique of "clicking and dragging" to select all units under a given area.
Though some game genres share conceptual and gameplay similarities with the RTS template, recognized genres are generally not subsumed as RTS games. For instance, city-building games, construction and management simulations, and games of the real-time tactics variety are generally not considered to be "real-time strategy".
(copy pasta from wikipedia)
there is no such thing as a first/third person shooter rts because that would imply you only focusing on one character, where it would be an rpg or some sort of other action game.
(mount and blade is an third person rpg, not rts.)
