Which do you prefer? I like RTT's more because it cuts out the base building and resource gathering and cuts straight to the action.

P.S. I would have made a poll, but I already made one today, sorry for the inconvenience ;)

RTT for me...RTS is too dumbed down and outdated...for how long can they reuse the same Dune2 gameplay?

RTS is just plain "Classic". What's better than building up a base, and using your army to stomp the other player? Nothing I tell you!

Seeing as the only RTT I've played is the combat half of Rome: Total War, and that doesn't really do anything for me except for experiencing cool battles (RTT gameplay on its own is far shallower than RTS gameplay) I'm going to say RTSs.

Technically, Total War is RTT/TBS, so it can have cool actiony battles and strategic depth at the same time.

I hate RTTs. I hate having to work with an alotted number of units. I want to form my own base then conquer from there. What's the point in putting yourself in a fantasy world if you're a lieutenant and not a general?

If Diablo is a Role Play Game, then Real Time Tactics IS Real Time Strategy. Like it or not. Games with no RPing get to be called RPGs why can't a RTS games with no base building be called RTS games? It's all warfare strategy all the same.

Well Total War games are my fave (TBS + RTT), but I wouldn't like a pure RTT game.

well, we have RTS Sins of a Solar Empire and RTT World in Conflict...how's SoaSE is *dumbed down* compared to WiC?

as for outdated, or OP's "straight to action," I'm fine with it since I like antique games.

[QUOTE="bangell99"]Well Total War games are ... (TBS + RTT)teardropmina

yes, there's tb kingdom management, and the combat is purely RTT. so saying how great Total War games are is not gonna add points to RTS.

Lolwut

I'm not trying to say Total War is RTS...

I love RTS, but I don't really like pure RTT games. However, I love TBS + RTT games the best.

I re-read the whole thread, and my now deleted passage wasn't directed at your comment.

anyway, I don't online whie gaming so I don't know about the Total War MP game...does it include the kingdom management part or gamers can just pick a fight with others? if the later...then, I can see why people would use Total War as the representative of fun RTT.

RTS are still the top Strategy Games for Multiplayer. I hate it if theres no Base Building, in Total War Games you atleast build while in TBS Mode.
