I used to play RTS games like Warhammer, then got into Heroes of Might and Magic and its spin-offs like Pennon and Battle. I've also played XCOM 2 and Age of Wonders 4. Any other must-play series you'd recommend?

While it's not exactly a good game, I had a lot of fun with Heroes of Annihilated Empires and enjoyed it even though parts of it can be difficult or clunky and I couldn't even finish it. It was kind of like high fantasy RPG RTS.

The Dungeons series is fun.

Some might not call Mindustry an RTS, but it's similar and a lot of fun.

I also felt Company of Heroes 2 was a good story and had a lot of playability.

Circle Empires again isn't exactly RTS, but is similar and a unique take on the concept.

Also you can't go wrong with most Age of Empires, Age of Mythology, and Halo Wars.
