Company of heroes is an excellent game..when you complete it a few times then the real fun starts..
Age of empires 3 is also good..haven't played rise of nations so no idea about that..

is Black & White a strategy game?

also a good one to try (other than the ones mentioned by others) is Warzone 2100. graphics is outdated but gameplay is considerable. but its free & opensource.

but i think the best (graphics heavy) are C&C series.

Yes Black & White is a strategy game. I played it for a short while. There is a sequel named Black & White 2. It is one of very few strategy games that EA has published.

Rise Of Nations (Thrones & Patriots). I loved playing it multiplayer over Internet.

Warcraft III is awesome too!

command and conquer is a great strategy game. you can even get their old versions for free. battle for wesnoth is also a very good turn based strategy. glest is also nice.

Give Majesty and Majesty 2 a try . Those are very..."different" strategy games, since you don't get to control any unit :)

Anomaly: Warzone Earth
gfx are cool, unique reverse tower defense gameplay
whole game can be finished in one sitting, so it is short and sweet

Commandos
Man I have spent hours trying to complete the levels so effing hard
Command and conquer tiberium wars is fun, one of the few games I have actually finished
It's early version red alert was a bit hard for me
Diablo is hack and slash but still you'll have to use a bit of strategy, if you are into diablo you should check out path of exile
Dota is good

There's also Desperados series and Robin Hood : The legends of Sherwood which are stealth Strategy just like Commandos.. Commandos had a lot to do but little environment interactions, these games on the otherhand feel like what a real stealth strategy should feel like.. try them
