Guess the search is over, what your asking for doesnt exist. Ive played many rts's but none have mmorpg esque customizable armies. No game lets your units all wear robes or all be female. There may be factions with those things but no such customizability.
Fallen enchantress should be totally disqualified though. The title says "RTS with customizable army" R.T.S not turn based strategy. Best ive seen is dawn of war, coloring your units or its logo. But thats as deep as anything gets, recolors and logos. I may be way off base but ive been looking for such an rts as well (and one set in a steampunk universe like rise of nations rise of legends) and if one came out i would know about it. Here is hoping someone makes such a game someday...
