Sorry for the confusion.
In my original post i was asking for all strategy games other than war games.
1. Is game x a stragegy game T or F
2. Is game x turnbased T or F
3. Is game x historically themed T or F
4. Is game x a model of a particular historical war (of 10 years or less)
If 1 or 2 are false than the game is not a TBS (Baldurs gate, Age of Kings, etc)
If 1 and 2 are true, but 3 is false, than the game is a TBS with a non-historical theme (SMAC, MOO, MOM, etc)
If 1,2 and 3 are true, and 4 is true, then the game is a TB wargame (Panzer General, TOAW, RELee: CWG, etc)
If 3 is false, than 4 must be false (how can a game confined to a historical war not be a history themed game - C and C maybe?)
If 1, 2, and 3 are true but 4 is false, then the game fits - Civ, Imp, Colonization, Conquest of the New World - and yes, RRT

i was mainly trying to confirm some things about the period 1992 (intro of windows games) to 2000 (date my dinosaur comp can no longer play most current games)
Most of the intersting genre busting historical games(EU series, TW series) were after that point. So EU is from all i hear a great game, and one of my principle motives to get a new PC, but i didnt mean to include it in this list."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human.

EA published it (some of the developers were people who had worked in Cinemaware, IIRC. However, IIRC, the battle portions of the game were in real time, no?Originally posted by child of Thor
You could try 'Centurian - Defender of Rome', i cant remember who published it but it was a fun TBS game."I read a book twice as fast as anybody else.

yeah the battles were real time(but you could pause), but the main map planning bit was tbs, oh except for the chariot races and gladiator fights - they were arcade games!!!! very fun game - it was crazy to mix all those different styles

One of Cinemaware's trademarks was that they always combined a lot of different gameplay styles, and usually did it wellOriginally posted by child of Thor

I think all the EU style games are much closer to TBS than RTS games. Every single event of any importance can be set to pause the game, so effectively you get 1 turn per day and the computer hits the 'next turn' button for you if absolutely nothing interesting happened that turn.Originally posted by Main_Brain

Hardly surprising considering EU is adapted from a boardgame with the real time elements creeping in to make multiplayer viable.To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.
