Do you prefer RTS or Turn based tactics

Personally, I’m more an RTS guy playing games such as command and conquer, AOE 3 (first aoe game I played) and supreme commander.

For the tactical side I have played the newer XCOMs and Commandos on PS2.

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 love both but online has to be RTS, I cannot handle the downtime of other people’s turns

A bit of both! RTS games are fun as practice-repeat challenges when I have enough free time to game while I have a bit of energy. Turn based are good any time. :)

I like both, but as others have said, the apm focus in RTS games really puts a cap on my enjoyment of the genre. In theory, I should love the genre, and I usually like the single player Campaigns or skirmishes against bots, but as soon as apm becomes a significant factor, I lose interest. Maybe I should learn some with a pause function, so I can see how I feel about those.

I enjoy playing both (solo). But when I see the pros play RTS, I realize turn-based is where I belong. Love the old classic X-Com series.

I like both, but definitely prefer RTS, especially if I am playing multiplayer or if there are a large number of units. I find Turn based games to become repetitive very quickly. Real time action is just more engaging more often, and I don’t find myself knowing I am going to lose but being held “hostage” being forced to sit through the remaining amount of turns to recover from my blunder.

Some of my favorite RTS games include the GOAT Age of Empires 2, Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour, and the RTS 4X game Stellaris (with mods).

Some of my favorite turn based games include Galactic Civilizations 3, XCOM 2, and rhe Japan only PC98 game Tuned Hearts.

I’m fully turn based. I could never get into RTS. StarCraft for example was never fun to me. I don’t know, I just like the slower pace.
