For a number of years, the common belief was that RTS Go = Starcraft Broodwar, especially in Asia.
You can maintain this belief until today if you measure "minimality/essentiality" by size (in MB).
Most probably there are other games out there that are even more minimalistic but for sure they're less popular and less known. You could make a case for DF (although there is no MP) or even C&C1 (just ignore the balance issues).
