While RTS is not my best genre, I still touch a few ones...
My favorit is still C&C: General
Warhammer 40k is pretty good too.
Band of Hero is great, sadly I never finish it, thought it is still installed on my comp (partly because it is that good)
Wahammer chaos something... sux
Never really played Starcraft that much..nor Warcraft. always feel their AI cheated.
Impossilbe Creature is a little gem.
LotR: Battle for middle earth was not bad. It lag on my comp.

Zoo Tycoon I would classify as something like a city-building game, but you are not building a city but a zoo.
Perhaps a Simulation game might be more appropriate.

What part was boring?
The gameplay? Mabey it is not uber fast paced, but you are building whole civilizations, which takes time. It could be a lot slower.
The Campaign: The campagin was good, and like a real military campaign there were slow progressions into each area, not big, on scenario jumps. (In most cases) Plus, the dialogue was worth listening to, esspecially Amanra.
you call aom slow?
aok was slow most competitive players took 10 min to advance to fedual
Aom is uberfast.
most games i play are either 1-1.5 or 15-40 min. i play online and i'm quite good. most games on random maps take 15-40min which is quite short. long games only occur if the players are matched up by skill.
if good players battle good players the result is often a 1-1.5 hour game even on random maps.
Its really fast paced a 21:00 mythic is common and this is on supremacy.
lightning mode often leads to games from 5 min to 30 min max.
besides if you miss a minute at anytime of the game you face certain defeat.

They did indeed  . And if not my teammate, I would have got my butt kicked all the time by such players  . Then I repayed with fast siege weapons for aid and big tributes.

3. AOE: Conquerors
A great expansion to AoE: AoK.
Only mayans sucked like hell, aztecs were weak, yet playable.

you are right all the way
take out half of the strong units and add n a lousy infantry to make up for no cavalry and you have a civ that is terrible
no gunpowder+no horses+scout infantry=fair ERROR ERROR ERROR

Not when you've got a huge armada of like 150 Plumed Archers with all armory upg's.

Well, the Jaguar Warriors were okay. Especially with Garland Wars (i think that's what its called).
Now what really ruled was the awesome Spaniards. Conquistadores rule! Especially in packs of fifty or sixty! Well, the emissaries sucked though. They were slower than crap. Not that monks were any better. The gunpowder civ of the Spanish still didn't outmatch the all-powerful Turks .
As for Mamgaeater, the Mexican races weren't that bad. The eagle warriors were really fast and if you had the Mayan Tech, they were a nuisance. With there now above average hits, they annoyed the heck outa me. And i have the Bombard towers.

it is called garland wars and yes a cd cleaner could not save it and i cannot reinstall it (crashes and homm 5 (needed new comp))
but i just don't understand it. they have no cavalry and have a scout infantry they still do not have cavalry archer equal.
plus you take away slot of the powerful seige and do nothing in replacement.

Legends are great, but the ordinary Stronghold 2 kinda sucks. I mean, it's ok, but nothing compared to the original Stronghold and Crusader...
God I spent hours on those...

lol, there is a thread to talk about of Empires 2 if you guys wanna talk about that.
Anyway, with the Conquerors, the Spanish just ruled. Elite Conquistadors, nothing can beat them.

But you are forgetting that Siege units are slow, whereas Ranged Cavalry are fast.
