Absolutely fantastic! If not a swan song for Blockland, this will at least prove to be a sea shanty. Godspeed!

BAC's town build. fav server to jump around and explore dope builds. actually really got me into the game and interested in building back then.

That's odd, I should remember seeing you there but I can't really (I know it was the first time I met ANT). Was THE server back then, also the one to really get me into the game.

you arent really playing against an enemy in tycoon games...

sorry I was just thinking about it, seeing the games fit as real-time strategy games according to the name, but the genre is actually preemptively defined by playing versus an opponent

RTS is a bastard between strategy and action that sacrifices the key mechanics of both in order to create some middle ground. strategy is rewarding when you formulate a complex outcome using multiple simple parts. action is rewarding when you formulate a favorable outcome in the least amount of time. a strategy experience is more rewarding when you dedicate more time towards it while a real time game is more rewarding when you dedicate the least amount of time possible. these two dont mix

Nicely put, I've always felt this. As an example, playing Age of Empires much of the early game is fast resource grinding and scouting, all manageable. But when lategame hits and you start moving armies, so much mechanics and microgame comes to play while the macro and strategy still stands. While you have to kite with several armies at once versus a skilled opponent in a sluggish battle, your goldmine might run dry or your farms needs to be rebuilt, you have to use your villagers, research techs and keep recruiting new units. All of this is impossible for my brain, that's why I stick with strategy games like Civ or HoMM, but the thrill of RTS is always fun with friends while turnbased games might become cumbersome.

does rts include ones you can pause/slow down time but otherwise both sides run real-time (single player/coop rts)?

Wouldn't that include like.. Tycoon games then as well? :P

Hi, RTS games always been a family tradition. The most notable games of my childhood are: Age of Empires II, Cossacks and Stronghold. I'm more about turnbased games generally, but that's because I've always gotten my ass wopped in high tempo rts.
