Poll - RTS vs Turn Based

[mac5732]

Ok everyone, a number of discussions have taken place concering preferences for either RTS or Turn based. Sooo

Question: Which do you prefer in regards to wargames, Simulations, Strategy Games and the like, This does not include games like Duke Nukem, Quake and the like

[Tanus]

I quite enjoy both RTS and turned base games, and have played both for many years. I couldn't say which I enjoy more - I like them both.

As this is not an option in the poll, consider this my answer http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Your poll lacks a critical distinction... adrenaline pumping real time ala Warcraft/Starcraft or game-balancing "real time" which is just meant to eliminate problems with one side firing everything before the other and otherwise plays exactly like turn based combat...

[Alneyan]

That, and you might also want to make some distinctions between some kinds of RTS. There is quite a difference between Age of Empires (clicking speed just matters more than almost anything), and a slower-paced games such as Warzone 2100 (or was it 2150?) or Enemy Nations, or possibly Europa Universalis.

So I have nothing against real-time, as long as it does not turn the game into a click slugfest. I know it was why I did fairly well when I played Age of Kings (that was several years ago; youth makes its mistakes), but this factor wouldn't matter so much in EU (unless playing a quick multiplayer game, but that would be a different problem).

Finally a chance to give my whoopie cushion the praise it deserves.. But seriously, I too enjoy both RTS and Real-Time and that option was not available. In order not to give a false impression I was forced to sit on my whoopie cushion.

Dito. Pausable RTS is missing. I like the Total War kind of approach to RTS/TB.

[Suicide Junkie]

I have to agree with everybody who posted so far.

I apoligize for leaving out some selections, this was an oversight on my part. Therefore, in all fairness, I shall start a new Poll with the new addions . Please consider this thread closed and please vote in the newer one.

If the moderator would pls lock this one down, I would appreciate it, and I again apoligize....

Mmmmm....peanut butter.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

[Atrocities]

I like them both. I think a combination of the two would work well. I like how one you play real time, no turns, but I also like the pause that a turn gives you. I am struck on the fence.
