I like both pretty equally. With regards to what you said about RTS skill being about memorizing hotkeys and such, I don’t bother attaining enough skill in this department just to be better at the game. (Maybe this is why I still haven’t beaten Starcraft or Warcraft 3?) But I still love RTS because of the fast-paced decision making! On the other hand, Turn-based is awesome because it allows alot of time for decision making. So as long as it’s one of the two extremes, I’m good to go. :D

For computer games I definitely prefer Real Time, because it’s alot more realistic and fun in my opinion. My favorite RTS of all time would have to be Empires: Dawn of the Modern World. Totally awesome games. The only turn based games I play on the computer are Robert E Lee: Civil War General, Risk 2, and Axis and Allies: Iron Blitz. All my other strategy games are Real Time, such as EDMW, StarCraft, Homeworld, Rise of Nations, AOE 1 and 2 plus Expansions, and Empire Earth. My favorite Genre of games is RTS, followed by FPS. I don’t think there’s anything like a good RTS, because it’s a thinking man’s game.

I do hate the fact, however, that the computer is capable of managing everything at once, while I can only do one thing at a time! That just makes it more of a challenge, though. :)

What I hate the most is when the computer cheats, such as unlimited money(AOE) or automatically knowing where you are without exploring(Starcraft).

It’s all good, though. :)
