Can't blame you that you don't like this game a lot then. You might want to check out "C&C: Generals" and "Battle for Middle Earth II" then (Dawn of War is great but may not be your cup of tea (eventhough massive amounts of troops are involved), but since it already landed in the bargain bin you can't do anything wrong with buying and trying it).
Alas, I think nothing will ever be able to top TA, when it comes to your preferrence of rts games.
