When I mention the genre RTS, most of the time I'm met with yawns. Which I just can't seem to understand. What makes this genre one of the least like genres in the gaming world? So let's get into the views of why I think this genre isn't that popular.

Speed: This is something that I really love about the game. You can't just hope into a game and go straight to war with someone. You have to sit back and get your kingdom up and running so you can have the supplies to wage war.

Strategy: Yes you have to use some of those brain cells in order to lead your team to victory. You just can't send in all you men hoping to take over a city. Because you will me meant with GREAT resistance. You have to plan out your attacks. Like sending in some units to take the aim off of your siege weapons to take down the wall; so you can send in your army to attack the village.

Patience: You got to have the skills to wait. You have to wait for the right time to attack. You wouldn't want to attack someone who has more supplies and more men then you.

Taking that information in I still can't see why gamers are not interested in this genre. RTS games are one of the most beautiful games on the PC. The environments are lush and the details in the game are amazing. I just find joy in having the control of a mass army. Telling them where to attack and when. When you get that taste of victory on your tongue. Man nothin can beat that feeling.

While the rest of you enjoy the great but few titles of the summer. I will be waiting for AOE 3 to hit the shelves. So I can taste the sweet taste of victory. Will you come join me?
