In the early days of PC and home gaming, a game title fell into a number of basic categories, including action games and strategy games. Other games focused on puzzles or recreating certain sporting events. As the gaming industry developed, so too did a number of subgenres, such as real-time strategy (RTS) gaming. An RTS game can be seen as a descendant of the turn-based style of strategy games, in which each players makes one or more moves at a time without worrying about a game clock or the actions of their opponents.
During RTS play, however, all players and computer-controlled characters or teams make decisions at the same time. This forces a player to carry out his or her various offensive tactics and resource-gathering initiatives as quickly and efficiently as possible, knowing that an opponent can launch an attack at any time. RTS games often task individuals with building bases and other lines of defense to protect their territory from invaders. Popular RTS examples include Starcraft and World of Warcraft.
