*raises hand* I do. Legolas Send a noteboard - 28/09/2010 10:19:26 PM
There's a few like that which maybe don't fall under a literal definition of Real Time Strategy that I lump in there anyway because their gameplay and presentation are so similar to an RTS.

Quite a few of the games I own/have played/have played demos of are TBS, actually - Age of Wonders and sequel, the various Disciples, the various Heroes of Might and Magic, and indeed most of the Civs (or all of them, not sure as there are so many). Just because TBS games aren't really the big fashion right now, doesn't mean the term isn't used anymore for those games that ARE turn-based.

So? How's Civ V? *NM* beetnemesis - 22/09/2010 04:08:25 AM 586 Views
So far I prefer civ IV *NM* Roland00 - 22/09/2010 06:32:05 AM 307 Views
Let it be known I haven't played any since the first day. Roland00 - 27/09/2010 03:18:41 AM 671 Views
I can't decide. I like Civ V combat better, but the other stuff... beetnemesis - 29/09/2010 10:00:45 PM 609 Views
That seems reasonable though Darth_Katie - 30/09/2010 12:20:23 AM 637 Views
I assume he means BlackAdder - 30/09/2010 12:55:58 AM 750 Views
Idk, I haven't played Civ V either. *NM* Darth_Katie - 30/09/2010 01:04:11 AM 313 Views
First time Civ player here. 30 mins of the demo still has me a little confused. *NM* Zalis - 25/09/2010 07:02:40 PM 304 Views
I think that's the nature of Civ. I tried CivIII and decided it wasn't worth the hassle *NM* LadyLorraine - 26/09/2010 05:35:18 AM 281 Views
Could you elaborate? *NM* BlackAdder - 26/09/2010 07:08:15 AM 299 Views
Is there a tutorial? TaskmasterJack - 27/09/2010 03:27:58 AM 609 Views
Yup, there are some basic tutorials beetnemesis - 27/09/2010 03:45:57 AM 620 Views
Yep. Seemed pretty bare bones to me. Zalis - 27/09/2010 04:18:34 AM 656 Views
Yeah it takes a while to really accomplish anything BlackAdder - 27/09/2010 06:37:20 PM 624 Views
The Civ series is actually my least favorite of the RTS games I've played. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/09/2010 01:47:03 AM 318 Views
Well I don't think it is an RTS BlackAdder - 28/09/2010 02:15:50 AM 608 Views
Well, by definition, it isn't. What with that "real time" bit and all. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/09/2010 02:48:02 AM 334 Views
I consider it one simply because no one uses the term TBS (Turn Based Strategy) to describe a genre. TaskmasterJack - 28/09/2010 03:42:42 AM 640 Views
*raises hand* I do. Legolas - 28/09/2010 10:19:26 PM 612 Views
The genre (sub-genre I guess) has it's own wikipedia page. That's official enough for me. *NM* Aemon - 28/09/2010 11:06:47 PM 636 Views
My favorite TBS was, oddly, Lords of the Realm II. TaskmasterJack - 29/09/2010 12:23:43 AM 614 Views
Similar to the game Diplomacy, then. *NM* Ghavrel - 30/09/2010 03:16:02 AM 287 Views
Me too, but not because of gameplay. Rather, because it lacks a campaign. Aemon - 28/09/2010 04:15:52 AM 592 Views
Europa Universalis doesn't even have victory conditions. *NM* Ghavrel - 28/09/2010 04:56:12 AM 340 Views
I will get back to you as soon as I can play it. AliasRY - 26/09/2010 04:39:18 PM 606 Views

Hahaha *NM* Darth_Katie - 27/09/2010 04:05:23 AM 296 Views
Yes. I walked right into that. *NM* AliasRY - 27/09/2010 04:25:38 PM 308 Views
