Same. I don’t like playing RTS games the good way. I just like building a cozy little camp and defending it, slowly exploring the map and just building whatever units I feel like building. I enjoy games like Age of Empires and Beyond All Reason because the maps tend to be quite large and random. It usually takes a while before I get overwhelmed if I’m losing I those games, and if I’m winning I can spend a lot of time just messing around without the game being over.
Games like Starcraft or Warcraft seem to be built too much for quick games where you have to be constantly moving. Expansion locations are very determined and scarce and resources run out way too fast to just turtle in my little corner.
So far I’ve only played against the simple AI bots and some easy barbarians; mostly I team up with my kids and we just try out different ways to mess around. Fun times.
