Civilization V. Must destroy Ghandi. Must prevail. Must take over the world.

It's turn-based afterall..
Maybe Empire Earth series for you?

I used to play both Empire Earth I and Empire : Dawn of a new World, when I was younger. Still, only the first Empire Earth is worth it to me, as the two laters are not as good as the first.

maybe Try one of the other CIV games first like III or IV or that new Space one which is quite different I heard but CIV V is really good from what i have heard about it

If you want to rule earth: Rise of Nations
If you want to rule an alien world: Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War: Soulstorm

Exactly, Wargame; Red Dragon.
Though it is sorta complex.

Well this isn't really what he was looking for, but that's what I first thought reading the title.
Comment has been collapsed.
Rise of nations has a risk map and battles are real time like age of empires
Dawn of war dark crusade has a world map (but it's not earth) and battles are like starcraft
Defcon has a world map but the objective is to kill the most civies (instead of conquering)
Hearts of iron has the world map, in a WWII setting, it has a hard learning curve but it fits what you are looking for.
King arthur plays like total war but with more RPG mechanics (has only britain map)
tom clancy's end war has a world map and it's an RTS without base building
those are the games that i remember

The only RTS games I know of is Warcraft, Starcraft, Command and Conquer and Age of Empires Franchises.

Any of the grand scale games like you described will be turn based. If you enjoyed one of the Total War games and you want that style then I'd recommend checking out other games in the Total War series.
Here are some of my favorite RTS games which I would also recommend.
C&C Red Alert (You can get all the C&C games in a bundled pack, retail or on Origin).
Warcraft 2 (you'll need DOS Box to get it running on a modern OS)
Warcraft 3
Star Craft (works fine on modern OS's)
Star Craft 2
Age of Empires 2 HD (on steam)
Age of Mythology (also a remastered version on steam)
Company of Heroes
Company of Heroes 2
I'd also highly recommend spending more time with Civ. It can be daunting at first, but once you get the hang of it, it is a lot of fun and will give you the world conquering that you are after, although it is turn based.

Age of Empires 2 and Warcraft 3 I can really recommend. The latter even more if you get a few friends to join you via LAN play and download some custom maps like Risk and Footmen Wars.
Risk really fits into your (OP) whole country domination ideal too :D

"Sins Of A Solar Empire" - nice RTS, but you must have a lot of time for this game).
There is no campaing there, but sandbox is also nice + lot of mods (Star Wars and Star Trek are also awailable)

Rise of Nations.
Rise of Legends.
Age of Empires.
Arma CTI Mode.
Blitzkrieg.
Dawn of War Dark Crusade and Soulstorm.
Sins of a Solar Empire.
Star Wars Empire at War.
Supreme Commander.

Sudden Strike and Blitzkrieg, along with American Conquest, Cossacks and Anno, made my life.
0 A.D. is free, OP, by the way.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, old school 2D RTS titles still rock for me. Cossacks made a mess with the 2nd version though. LOL, I included 0AD just in case he'd like to try opensource. BTW, Empires Dawn of the Modern World is a great title as you posted earlier, I forgot its name.

Sounds like you are after a Grand strategy game like
-Hearts of Iron
-Victoria
-Crusaders Kings
-Europa Universals
-CIV
-Supreme Ruler
-Making History
-Risk
-To End All Wars
-Commander: The Great War
-Civil War II

Hello. I am trying to get a good game that relates to something like Total War but involves like the whole world. To sum it up: I am trying to find a Real Time Strategy War Game that involves world domination on your own country. Kind of like Total War and Plague Inc. Evolved.
If anyone finds a game related to this. THANK YOU! I need a new game. My 235$ is collecting dust you know. :D
Thanks.
