Found this game in a bargin bin for a few bucks. When I opened it up and saw only the two discs in a cheap plastic case and no manual, I was very worried I had wasted my money. But once I started playing I found a genuinely good game. It's got the standard RTS collect resourses, build a base, and crank out units with the addition of some RPG elements. But where it breaks the RTS mold is making your soldiers your most valuable resource. Because it takes place millions of years in the past you don't have an unlimited supply of cannon fodder. You'll only have a handful of soldiers available and if they die they're gone for good. That means you need to actually have a strategy and know when to retreat when things go south. It's not the best or most polished game but if you're looking for a good RTS give Original War a try.
