Real time strategy

From YoYoGames Wiki

Real time strategy (or RTS, for short) is a game genre. RTS games are usually war games. The player has control over an army or a group of units. In a level, some missions must be accomplished to advance to the next level.

Some key components of an RTS game:

• Gathering resources
• Spawning units
• Creating buildings

Nowadays almost all RTS games created are 3D. Before that, RTS games were viewed from an isometric view.

Examples of RTS games are Age of Empires and Warcraft.
