RON could topple Civ

[WarpStorm]

I thought everyone on Apolyton was a hardcore TBS palyer.

[asleepathewheel]

I will purchase the game, but will probably only play it occassionally after the initial feverish weekend of playing. RTS just have never kept my attention compared to TBS, perhaps this game will be different.

i play all genre of games as long as their good

[Monkeycheez]

now I have to say that tbs suck. Have any of you ever been wiped out in one turn in civ 2 by nukes and parratroopers? With tbs you don't have any time to react, while in rts you can launch counterattacks.

The same could be said about RTS. One person quickly rushes another without that person having time to build up enough defenses, army, etc. and the game is quickly over. It is all in how you play the game and how you look at the problem.

No, not in hundreds of games. Although I've taken a few cities by this technique.

thats some of what RTS is about, but thats an extreme case

[tniem]

Huang, he gave an extreme case so I responded with one. However, the rushing in RTS happens a lot more often than the situation he described in a TBS.

Don't get me wrong, I like RTS (currently playing AoM after beating WC3 sp) but there are strengths to both types of games. To say one sucks on a very extreme case is wrong, when there are obvious faults in the other that are not that extreme.

[HuangShang]

i agree there, i play both types of the genre

[Monkeycheez]

I would just like to point out that real wars don't happen in turns

[WarpStorm]

They also don't happen in less than an hour with one person trying to handle everything.

[HuangShang]

im not part of this arguement anymore

[WarpStorm]

I bow out also.
