Starfury is NOT a RTS. RTS games involve at the minimum more than one unit. Call it an RTS and you might as well call Baulder's Gate or Morrowind an RTS. (or Asteroids, for that matter..)

Says who?

Where is this defined?

Many places. It is not a strategy game, it is an adventure game. RTS means Real Time Strategy. There is no way you can classify Starfury as a strategy game. It has none of the essential elements of a strategy game. It would be like calling SE4 a card game...

Erm, since when does Dominions have real-time combat, Fyron???

(It just LOOKS real-time because the units on a side move all at once, not one at a time like in SE4 ... but each side still takes its turn moving and attacking, then the other side moves and attacks, ad infinitum... or maybe ad nihilo if you have too many units and it crashes the game )

Oh. So it is one of those pseudo-real time combat systems? I never looked too closely at it...
