Are base-building RTS games dead now?

Grew up on classic build-your-base-then-attack strategy games. Most new releases seem to be either tiny squad tactics or MOBA style. Is anyone still making proper base-building RTS, or has the genre just faded?

Not dead, just smaller. Age of Empires II and IV still get updates and have a big player base. Tempest Rising was made specifically for the old Command & Conquer feel, and Beyond All Reason is free if you liked Total Annihilation. The genre's mostly gone indie and mid-budget rather than the big release every year it used to be.
