I would recommend Command and Conquer: Tiberium Sun, it was my gateway to strategy games and is really satisfying and still has nice graphics 20 years later due to good art design. You can get it for free these days so at least try it out sometime.
I also started playing Phantom Doctrine recently, really fun if you like the gameplay XCOM has or a cold war espionage setting.

sorry I was just thinking about it, seeing the games fit as real-time strategy games according to the name, but the genre is actually preemptively defined by playing versus an opponent

imagine trying to set up a spear training room and not setting the burrows in time so the axedwarf mother brings her baby in with her
