Civ3 loses out to EU2 and Empire Earth in pc.ign's Strategy Game of the Year

I still have no idea why IGN insists on calling EU a turn based strategy game.
I don't know if it fits into any other category. Maybe RTS but its not played like an RTS and doesn't appeal to the traditional RTS crowd. The general feel of EU2 is that of a TBS game.
I don't do drugs anymore 'cause i find i can get the same effect by standing up really fast.
I live in my own little world, but its ok; they know me here.
EU II is the only actual RTS (real time strategy) out there. Most RTSs are actually RTTs (real time tactical).
Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
While I think EU2 is better than Civ3, can anyone really take IGN's position seriously when they call EU2 a TBS? Any idiot, playing 5 seconds of the game will realize it is a real time game! Jeez!

There are enough gaming websites and magazines there that most of the "hot" games will be voted the best one way or another.
I think they should just create a new category called "slugfest." That's what most of the so called "RTS" are.

The combat portion is TBS, which takes up most of the playing time.

No, the combat resolution is real time, the training, building and moving of units is TB. Maybe it is a little unclear. My point was the RTS element (ie the one that is also MP) is very strategic, much more so than the usual RTS games. For the strategy gamer wishing to play MP there are few options outside of RTT (I like the term) games. Obviously MP SMAC or civ2 is best, but hard to arrange sometimes and very time consuming. Shogun is a good choice IMO. Games are between 10-30 minutes, and as I said, very challenging
