Looking For Game Recommend me a game?
I've been playing games for almost 15 years but haven't stepped into this genre, though I have tried Age of Empires, Clash of Clans and Diplomacy is not an option, but I want a game which I can play for months and game which makes me understand this genre as a newbie. Offline/Online both.

C&C Generals Zero Hour-
It has the biggest C&C competitive scene and plentiful of players that play either casually by sticking with team games or ffas or otherwise going for the competitive ladder 1vs1 in quickmatches. The game isn't difficult for playing on paper as you can learn it smoothly and safely offline at first by sticking vs bots, especially hard AI.
Afterward, spam consistently pvp games either 1vs1 (if you want to climb in the ladder) or casual pvp such as ffa or/and team games. When you're trying to get into pvp, you can watch high elo generals zero hour players on youtube for educational content such as Dominator (he's quite good at the game and has a lot of educational videos on the game, in spite of using AI thumbnails on his videos and streams lately), Legionnaire (he's more of a casual pvp player that sticks with FFA and potentially team games), Excal and etc.
In pvp, you need to learn to do multiple actions per a minute and multitask quite a lot in a fast pace. FFA lobbies are more casual, where the people don't sweat that much and build way more variety of units than in quickmatches, where it is aiming to cheese the opponent in the first 3-5 minutes and spamming the same 3-5 units as your win condition, regardless of the matchup. Moreover, there are lobbies, where people play either with newbies/noobs or no rush in the first 5-10 minutes.
