Real Time With Pause vs. Turn Based

[Deleted member 560402]

Real Time with Pause when it comes to strategy games like Lords of Magic. Nice that they let you set up strategies before each battle. All the battles are pre determined too. You just pick which units to attack which units, who and where to cast which magic spells, where to aim your archers, and then click the start button to let it go and see the battle play out. You can even switch tactics mid battle and tell them what to do in case you get your ass handed to you and you need to retreat or if you need to cast some healing magic. You can pause and unpause at any time too. All the battles are in towers and caves ect. so you just wander about the map and battle when you want to.

Turn based RPGs just feel comfortable and hit that nostalgia point perfectly. I never liked the ATB crap from Final Fantasy. It makes me feel like WTF, stop rushing me!
