For years I've played bzflag. It's a 3d tank battle game with a variety of play methods (capture the flag, soccer, -em-up, etc).
Other than this, there was once some kind of space opera with combat, politics, and other game functions. I can't remember the name now.
I played Warzone 2100 for a long time. It isn't as good as Total Annihilation (nothing is), but it had some interesting component-based units.
I should try Veloren some day. It seems very interesting.

Have you tried Beyond All Reason? It comes pretty close
I found that game so difficult
Battle for Wesnoth - a turn based tactics game in a fantasy setting. It's also available on Steam and itch.io. Coincidentally, version 1.18.0 was released yesterday.
Nethack. I remember playing it at university 30 years ago when it was text only. Amazingly, there is a version available for android and its fucking addictive.
Right now I'm basically playing Beyond All Reason almost every evening. It's a game in the Total Annihilation "tree" of games. A massive scale RTS. I previously played Supreme Commander and Planetary Annihilation, both of which are also inspired by Total Annihilation, but I have to say that BAR is really better than both of them. I almost can't believe it's an open source game. It's still in alpha, but it's been way more stable than most AAA games I've been playing recently.
I've gotten all my friends hooked on OpenTTD multiple separate times
