I am looking for an RTS to introduce my two boys (9 and 11 years old) to the genre. I have played C&C: Red Alert myself as a young adult, I also dipped my toes into Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War. Very little but AFAIR I liked it.

I am looking for an RTS to see if they like these types of games. My 11-year old specifically said he didn’t like RTS because he “would like to do the fighting himself, not command it”. I have once showed them StarCraft, but it didn’t interest them very much. My 9-year old has probably never really tried RTS.

They have played other games of other genres like Minecraft, Roblox, League of Legends, Valorant and Fortnite extensively.

Any suggestions?

My 11 year old and his older brothers have all been playing Bloons TD 6 and love it. It's remarkably deep and a great intro to strategy gaming.
