Saga Online is a decent online RTS, you can play it completely for free if youre patient, if not, the booster packs are relatively cheap and a few of those will help you get started quite quickly.
I'd call it a casual game though, not something to play day in, day out.

Saga isn't bad, but the quests are bad at the moment. If they manage to make good use of their new system, it might become a decent game.
You know it, the best way to realize your dreams is waking up and start moving, never lose hope and always keep up.
POXNORA - Card-type " Magic The Gathering thing." With battles set up like heroes of might and magic. 2d
DREAM LORDS- Tactical MMORTS this looks like a good bet: GENRE / FANTASY 3d
SAGA ONLINE- TACT RTS Genre Fantasy 3d
Boundless planet- TACT RTS Genre SCI-FI 2d or 2.5d
hope that helps a little bit

some MMORTS games, not sure about the status of them since i don't play them...... i would if there was one that was like the Ground Control series, but i'm sure this are traditional clickfests with clumsy controls & interface.......like almost all RTS games
Time Of Defiance (has a free trial)
Shattered Galaxy (2D)
10six, or tensix or something like that (doesn't have a contiguous virtual world that you can wander, maybe NONE of them do for all i know)
Of course these games won't be exactly like Travian, but they will be closer than some of the others mentioned. These are listed in order with the top being a better match than the last one mentioned:
Ikariam - Comment found here"Those looking for an alternative to Travian’s aggression would do well to check out Ikariam (www.ikariam.org). Although Travian definitely is more mature (and this is reflected by the myriad of well-designed greasemonkey scripts available), Ikariam seems to be much more supportive of a trade-oriented style of play. I’ve been playing for 3 months now, have never attacked another player and still find myself ranked in the top 25% on the s12 server."
Honestly, there are no good online strategy games at the moment. Saga gets boring real fast, dreamlords even faster, etc. We'll all have to wait for... Dawn Of Fantasy!

There's a fair chance that what you're looking for doesn't exist. At least in single player games, "real time strategy" usually is not strategy at all. I haven't tried many MMORTSs to know if they're like that, too. I do know that Shattered Galaxy is not a strategy game at all.
Chain of Command had a good deal of strategy, but wasn't really "massively" multiplayer, with a cap of 14 players in a game at once. The company that made it also went out of business more than 8 years ago.
For a game you could play right now, you could try Wizard101. The turn-based combat involves a fair bit of strategy. It's not free, but it is cheaper than most subscription games.
Atlantica also has turn-based combat and some strategy from that, though it's lighter on the strategy side than Wizard101, and more about leveling and buying stuff from the item mall.
It's a new MMORTS. Inside the game, each player is a leader of their own civilization, complete with the options to wage war, conduct research, carry out espionage, engage in trade, and exercise diplomacy. Other games tend to focus on one or two of these aspects, but in Beyond Protocol they have been intertwined to form a game where players will want to seek out friends and allies with skills that counterbalance their own. This gives the game much less of a perpetual tank rush feel, and much more of a community development and empire simulation feel.

Only thing that gets close is Atlantica Online.

Soverign Malus some call me
Blood hound is what other's say.
I shall crush all opponents
Father Death, Chaos Lord Rains tyranny.
blanket of shadow, steel sword kissed by the blood of the unworthy. Foes Fall, Fields Of Red.
- Soverign Malus " Father Death" Forever Shadow Sect.
Savage 2. Thought it's not 100% Strategy,. I strongly suggest you check it out. (It's like a mix between Warcraft III and Battlefield)
Yea Savage 2 is pretty good
quick rounds
always a pug running
fun
and you better develop strat or you get owned

thanks for the answers guys.
I was actually looking for something similar to the browser game Travian, but with more depth and dosn't restart every 10 months.
But I will check out your tips, thanks

Tribal Wars - Very similar, but faster.
Artifact
Rivality
and of course the original Warcraft and Starcraft series.
