Melee units make RTS better.
Modern stuff can be resumed to:
>gun infantry, to kill other infantries
>sniper infantry, to kill other infantries
>cannon infantry, to kill vehicles
>fast unarmored vehicle
>slow tank
>fighter plane
>bomber plane
>helicopter
Now with melee units you have
>melee infantry (shield), resists arrows
>melee infantry (spear), kills cav
>ranged infantry (bow), kills infantry
>fast melee infantry to hunt others
>fast melee cavalry, kills archers
>slow melee cavalry, kills everything
>ranged cavalry with bow, hard to catch
>ranged cavalry with gun, looks cool
>camels, hunts cav
>elephants, hard to kill
>chariots, super fast
>ballistas, vs personel
>catapults, vs buildings
>cannons, vs siege or buildings
Not to mention the better architecture sets you get in your game if it's made before industrialization killed art.
