Warzone 2100. Every mission builds off the last, with all your units (and their accumulated experience) and research carrying over.

Obligatory Warzone 2100 advocate here. Play it. It's freeware now and gets updated by its diehard fans to this day. No emulation/VM nonsense required, as the modern freeware version works perfectly on modern hardware.

Also seconding the Earth series. 2140 is a C&C clone, but 2150 is an underrated gem with a series of fun campaigns where your units and resources carry over between missions. The expansion packs (Moon Project + Lost Souls) introduce questionably designed additions to each factions kits and have some real bullshit campaigns.

I will post this one every chance I get.

RTS is already a niche genre, but if you're not Warcraft/Starcraft, C&C, or AoE2, nobody gives a shit.

Shame it wasn't more popular. There's nothing else quite like it.
