The strategy genre has always been a rather convoluted one, especially has time has gone on. Even the sub-genres are complex, with real-time strategy having so many offshots (squad real-time strategy, real-time tactics, business simulations etc) that each is considered their own genre as well. Then there are games like Earth 2150. These games epitomize everything we know about the real-time strategy genre, such as base building and resource management, but then throw a curveball by introducing unit design, multiple planes of warfare, and large-scale campaigns. There's a demo to try out, and you really should give it a play, because it's one of the better RTS games despite its age.
