Lord_Kane: Good game. community has been waiting for a sequel forever, decent community support (grab the fan patch), its original creator eventually made Supreme Commander which follows a very similar gameplay style.

Spectre: There was also mods for it but I don't know the best ones to get.
For TA my personal favorites are Total mayhem and Escalation.
Total Annihilation was pretty much the apex evolution of RTS, though not as competitive as Starcraft. TA is also somewhere my top 10 greatest games ever list. Never really played it online however even though it was quite large during the time they released the add-ons.

As Lord_Kane already stated aptly, get TA: Escalation after you've played a couple of skirmish matches and finished the campaign. Also google some TA mappacks. The game is very famous for having some of the best RTS maps you can play in Skirmish/Online mode.

On another note I remember Starcraft actually not being that good until a few big updates and with BW coming out when it then exploded. It pretty much became the final nail in the coffin for just about every other RTS game. It was basically THE e-sports game during a certain period.

I didn't like it. Too few quality of life things. Good music, though!
