I'd never been a big fan of strategy games until Ages of Empires came along, particularly after the Conquerors expansion. You know the reviewer's cliche "Get this game and you'll lose your job, your girlfriend, etc?" For my part, with this game the cliche becomes almost to real! How can you not like a game wherein your carefully armed and trained elite troops can suddenly and without warning get eaten by a pride of lions?

For me strategy started with Civilization, X-Com and Colonization, and all of them turns to be a turn based.

But I do enjoy a RTS from it's beginning with Dune2, C & C, AOE and similar. I would say that real time strategy is often more closed to Sims, where you are more observers, while in turn based strategy everything depends on your planning and actions.
