Computer game recommendations

Julie and I have been playing Settlers IV with each other.

It's good fun, but intermittently flaky, and it's hell losing half an hour of gameplay when it goes titsup.

Anyone care to suggest an RTS we might enjoy?  Julie definitely prefers building up her peoples over charging in and attacking - so games that emphasise exploration/maintenance are preferred (combat is fine, there should just be more to the game than that).
