I don't mind RTS as long it has a pause button. Just got AOE II Expansion. Its
nice to pause once in awhile, well every 5-10 secs for me.
(and I'm sure your on-line opponnet wants to pause every 5-10 seconds too).
Having played CC and CM, CC is nice online against a human for short (small) battles. As long as the phone doesnt ring, no one knocks on the front door, none of the kids (or grandkids) are crying/fighting/screaming or otherwise interrupting my game.
WEGO and turn based pbem is better when I can play when I have time and can stop when ever I have too and come back in 5 or 10 minutes or even a day or two later. (ok two days waiting for a CM pbem file to return is streching it~ <G>)
