What beginner friendly RTS game can you recommend?

As a quick background, RTS is completely new to me. I spend majority of my time in FPS type games but want to branch out a bit and try out something different/new (to me).

Requirements:

  • Somewhat casual (if that’s possible)
  • Somewhat easy to learn
  • Relatively modern with decent graphics (something that looks nice)
  • Runs on Linux (of course) and Steam
  • @Narann

    This and CC Generals are the best non-Blizzard RTS to date, IMHO.

    Generals is hard to run on Linux, but DoW runs flawlessly.
