Recommend me a RTS with good sp campaign

Impossible creatures is a personal favorite of mine. Just making shit in the army builder is entertaining enough. You have probably heard of Dungeon Keeper 1 and 2. I would get KeeperFX for the original for bugfixes and general improvements, plus custom campaigns/maps

The original DK has an extremely repetitive campaign mission structure where you are constantly forced to do the same things over and over again. It's more of a series of skirmish maps than a proper campaign. DK 2's campaign on the other hand is great. Every mission is unique and poses its own set of challenges.

DK1 does have you rebuild dungeons, but the maps themselves are well made and get better the more you progress. It's worth it to go into first person mode and explore for secrets because there is always a hidden passageway or two.

I fondly remember having to slaughter hundreds of creatures to raise an army of vampires to best the last level.

Original War, C&C like with few great twists.

The most important one is personel to man buiding and wehicles gain stats between missions and can perma die, later you can control wehicles remotely, or by computer, but at the cost of much lower stats. You can try to escape wehicle before it blow up.

But there are few more unique mechanics, while gamepley is simply C&C at its core. Mission design is amazing, simply the best and storyline and setting is fun. Overall better then any C&C game.

Second voice for Original War. One of the most, er, original games out there.

Another fun twist : You have maybe 20 to 30 guys available in all missions. If Bob dies level 2, Bob won't help you in the other missions. If you kill AI Ivan level 3, AI Ivan is gone (though in the case of the computer, I guess they would replace him by level 0 Pavel next time). There is a Soviet campaign so you can be the one killing Bob & Deborah, and trying to keep Ivan and Ekaterina alive.

Sadly, I never played the campaign in Iron Man like I almost always do now, but I guess it would be interesting to do and quite possible, if frustrating at times.

DK2, if for whatever reason you get past the cartoon/anime artstyle and idiotic creature AI, has a gimmick for each mission it's true. But this never reaches above the level of gimmick.

The music is great too.

DK1 is great; the maps are great, finding secrets is fun, but they are all obvious on the map screen because they are quite often dug into the bedrock; easily seen from the map screen.

What I didn't like about the Windows version of DK1 was that the first person view lost all of the minion vision effects. Possess the fly, and the view was a hexagonal grid—stylized like a compound eye; possess the beetle, and the view was fish-eye lens distorted. Vampire vision was blood red tinted.

@Topic... Myth 1 & 2; great RTS games with great campaigns.

Battleforge has been rebuilt by fans and you can play it for free now. It's now called skylords.
Battleforge is a type of card RTS game. You can take up to about 24 cards into a mission with you and play them out if you have enough resources.
I think the best part about this game is not only do you get to see your cards come to life, but there's no RNG! You literally can pick any card from your deck as long as you have enough resources for it!
The game is much better with friends, but the community seems alive and well for now.

Yeah I played it several months ago, was pretty finished actually.
Not sure about PvP too much, only played a few matches, but I think it's always been loose with pvp.

Yes that fully works, you can play with friends or invite randoms, or join parties.

Cool I'll give it a go. I know they plan to wipe the servers in the next month or two but I can warm up I saw their to-do list and it looks like they already did most stuff.
