Which RTS (4x?) multiplay online ?

Looking for something easy to play, but intrigueing.

Going to play with a friend over web and it would be fun if others could
join in, or we join them or at a server.

# I think random maps is to prefere in prior to scenarios.
# If it's a couple of years since release it's only an advantage so that
the hardware allows full detail....
# The game should also be rock solid and no tech hustle...

What will rock the most?

Warcraft 3. Focuses on offense, short, sharp battles rather than
building up a big army over the course of 4 boring hours to destroy
carefully build defenses. Great level of depth, but if you're all new
to the game you can jump right in.

TA does not support Random Maps, nor is it capable of the more advanced
starting methds where you start together. TA:K would be a better
recommendation, since it has better support of for team-games where players
need to be close together.

I've also seen TA crash in some cases - the trigger isn't known, but seems
to occurr with unit death (e.g. firing a superweapon at an enemy base). In
addition, the AI player will eventually fall since it rarely attempts to
build the heaviest of weaponry (e.g. superweapons).

How is that implied?
