That's one reason that Total Annihilation (TA) is my favorite RTS of all time. Supreme Commander (SC) was the more recent version of that.
What made TA and SC good was that you pretty much started with your most powerful unit. You can't Zerg Rush or overwhelm your opponent early in the game because the starting unit was powerful. It could build, but it could also stop pretty much any minor early attacks. This gave you a chance to build up defenses a little and made it so that you could build up your tech trees a little bit before truly getting attacked in any way that could kill you.
