Do you prefer RTS or Turn based tactics (lemmy.world)

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?

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