      Dawn of War looks good... very good. Might even pursuade me to splash out on a new graphics card

      Rome: Total War also looks good. I was a big fan of Shogun when that came out, missed medievil, but might pick up Rome.

      I always seem to ignore all the best games that are new out, and buy them a few years later though... I think it takes a lot to pursuade me to part with my cash...

        I think what's happening is that RTS is slowly turning into a worthwhile genre.

                  Citybuilders, though usually in RT, and usually considered with the strategy genres, are for some odd reason almost never called RTS, even less often than games like EU or SMG.


                  Theres such a huge number of games that follow the mode of build a gathering builidng, gather resources, build fighters, and then fight, that this style of game has appropriated the term "RTS". There almost needs to be another term for RT games that dont fit that model.

                    I agree. I remember saying to ADG a while back that the Settlers wasn't RTS. "But it's in real time and is a strategy game", he protested.

                    The real time label was (in days gone by) used to distinguish real time games from turn based games. The distinction is no longer fine enough really.

                      I still hear people saying SimCity (or any tycoon game) is RTS
                      This space is empty... or is it?

                        Those are simulation games.

                          No they're not... I always put simulation to flying-games...

                            Well there is a lot of flexibility in the terminology but I tend more towards the useage that Simulation games are those that simulate something reasonably accurately.

                              I only use the 'simulation' term to programs that simulates something as accurate as possible, within limits of course... For now I've only come by 2 programs that could fit into this: simLife and Life
                              When money is involved, and you have to build something from nothing to "whatever goal you set it to", and it's not about war, then it's probably a tycoon game...

                                It doesn't really matter that much, as long as the basic idea is communicated right?
