Real Time Strategy (RTS) gaming as a genre was made popular by the original Command & Conquer, Dune 2, and of course Blizzard's mega popular WarCraft & StarCraft series. Typical mouse centric game play is based on trying to balance available resources, unit management, construction, and combat. RTS games usually are at their best when played across the internet or home network against a friend, some even offer a compelling single player experience.
