I used to play RTS games like Warhammer, then got into Heroes of Might and Magic and its spin-offs like Pennon and Battle. I've also played XCOM 2 and Age of Wonders 4. Any other must-play series you'd recommend?

Warcraft and StarCraft. StarCraft 1 is free and the first campaign of 2 is free as well.

Others are Command & Conquer and Age of Empires.

I should play StarCraft again. BroodWars would be nice.

I usually don't play strategy. But damn, Broodwar is great!

Even as a Protoss main, Wings of Liberty (the free Terran campaign in SC2) is by far the best in the game. I've replayed it at least once a year since it first released. Mass marine/marauder/medic backed by tanks is so much fun to play with.
