I don't know but the turn based ones never clicked for me, I prefer deciding in real time whilst my opponent is also scrounging up for resources and fueling their armies, I find it to be more engaging because you're trying to put more map control on you and time for better units etc.

For turn based, it was the core mechanic of waiting for your turn and hoping to fudge the other guy hasn't sussed you out with good placement.

What about you my fellow Lemmoid/Lemming/Lemmy user? What's the genre that you like most of the two?

I mostly play strategy games for enjoyment - and against the PC - so for me the slow pace of turn-based is perfect. I don't like to be stressed when I'm playing something to relax. That's why Civ is my go-to when I'm in the mood.

It doesn't help that I also don't have the hands or brain to juggle everything in an RTS. I've tried several and they look fun at a glance, but at the end of the day I can't put out adequate APM to actually have fun with them.

See, I like RTS for the same comp-stomping enjoyment because I like the spectacle of it more.
