Rts vs tbs

[War4ever]

So new poll , not sure if this has been done before.... do you prefer Real Time Strategy RTS or Turn Based Strategy TBS.... i will go first and say TBS all the way

[John-SJ]

TBS, definitely!

TBS - 2
RTS - 0

It's almost impossible for me to say - most of my favourite games are from both genres. I'll just sit on the fence.

TBS.

So the score is:

TBS - 3.5
RTS - 0.5

Or doesn't my 'half and half' vote count?

[Qilue]

There seems to be a trend here.

TBS - 4.5
RTS - 0.5

[War4ever]

could you elaborate as to why you prefer TBS.... for me its the ability to think each turn to the max as opposed to having to react on instinct which i find is not always the best course of action i am sure others have different reasons.... not that i dont' like AOE and Star Craft as well though

Rts of course! I'm sure you aren't going to get a good percentage if you post this question in a tbs forum!

[ghen]

Well I guess the thing I haven't done yet is play multi civ. while posting on Apolyton, I guess thats how you're supposed to fill the void but I dunno..

[JohnT]

TBS, of course. Why? Because I like to kick my feet up while I play games on the computer and RTS games are too frenetic for my preferred leisurely pace.

[War4ever]

This is a good place to post it , its just noone comes hear.... and if i putit in offtopic.... well you know how those savages are over there

My memory is horridly impossible to keep solid.. I play rts games to help with that. In starcraft near the end of a game you have to know where 100 different units are at the same time.. good concentration builder too, I don't think a fire would distract me in a ladder game Because of this I noticed that I can read just as fast in a library as in a cafeteria.. coincidence? maybe..

[War4ever]

Ghen obviously you take after me or i U....i read better with background noise as well, and civ provides that noise i need

[Qilue]

I prefer tbs because I usually spend a lot of time going over every little detail every turn to make sure it's happeniing exactly how it should be.
