[QUOTE=Gukumatz]  
It doesn’t feature a character creation process, but the Heroes of Might & Magic series are a decent Turn-Based RTS-way of killing time. The last one (V) is a solid incarnation of the series, though its’ fans seem to think I through III are better. Well, we all agree on skiping IV entirely.  
[/QUOTE]

IV was very, very good - it was just a departure from the others in a number of ways. It was still a game that I enjoyed quite a bit.

I loved ChronoCross, but apparently I’m in the minority.  
[/QUOTE]

You know, the first time I tried to play through Chrono Cross, I got a bit bored and stopped about ten hours in. The second time, I played it all the way through. And then I immediately played it all the way through again. It is an EXCELLENT game - just as good as Trigger in its own way. It’s one of four games ever to receive a perfect 10 review from GameSpot, and it absolutely deserves that rating (the first predated internet reviews, obviously).

[QUOTE=sturmhauke]  
I recommend the Fire Emblem series (on Gamecube and GBA)…  
[/QUOTE]

I think that this is probably the “correct” answer to this thread - _given_ the parameters that were laid out in the OP. Especially if you don’t mind some difficulty. Though I can’t say I necessarily agree with the rest of your post!

I’m a little deeper in Blue Dragon, but I think it’s exactly what you might be looking for. I’m digging it with a spoon.
