Empire Earth has been my favorite RTS, ever. Never played the single player parts though! I couldn't even take warcraft 3 seriously after playing a complete RTS like this..

Anyways, there was one big unbalance in the game:

You know the hounds you never use? Well, go ahead and produce a few dozen of them. With your 10 soldiers at hand (thats all ya need) shout out "RELEASE THE HOUNDS" and let them wander, they'll draw fire from every defensive building, every priest, just about every damn thing and will rarely get hit.. Meanwhile your offensive dudes can go to work unharmed.
