Uh... That's turn-based, not real-time. Quite different.

I think he means that it is a "chess style", as in turn based, but "real time strategy" in that it is played over the internet and there may be several real time strategy moves to make.  It looks like he just isn't accustomed to the proper terminology though.

Proper terms:
Your Chess-Style = Turn Based Strategy  (TBS)
Star Craft = Real Time Strategy  (RTS)

Peace.

He knows what he means. Silvanoshei just has to show everyone how ignorant he is.

Look up the definition of a word before you try to use it, especially in an insult. :roll:

Chess is turn based.. You do have time to take your turn no matter how much time.. Your opponent doesn't move at the same time as you. It is turn based.

RTS is very different.

RTS is using strategy without being able to "pause" the game to give you time to think.

I was going to say this... but then I considered Baulders Gate.  It is both in a way... so I decided he just needed all that extra information to get it all... I should have mentioned BG in there... even though I never really played it, just watched a bit.

In beginner mode, BG and BG2 can be considered slightly turn based because of their pause ability.

However, if you actually play the game to have a challange, then you keep it unpaused.
