Any RTS game where you DON'T control your units?

[Blood & Thunder]

I want an RTS game where you focus on management and you don't have to babysit your units. For example, you have to tell them to capture an area and they move and take cover on their own, etc.
I mostly like watching battles.

dwarf fortress is like the closest to that i think

and its not really what you ask, but you might like dynamic campaign from il2 1946

I highly recommend the Majesty series. Specifically, I recommend Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom Sim.

Majesty 2 is good too, but don't think it and the original are on equal footing.

I would always recommend Kingdom Under Fire. but those games never got any recognition to become popular. Remember playing only that back on the Original Xbox.

It's an RTS game where you do have to tell your units where to go, but you also have a commander in those units and you use the commander yourself to fight once you clash swords with enemies. Less being lazy and watching, more fighting.

They've been supposedly working on Kingdom Under Fire 2 for PC and PS4. It's been many years now, and they've only done off and on beta tests.

Surprises me how the game also went from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aiixi3prki4 to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz53kqC54MM

Kinda i guess, but it is going to be a f2p game so there will be micro transactions and probably p2w. It isn't horrible, though I wouldn't pay 20$ for it. (I got mine through a humble bundle.)
