are there any RTS games that focus on turtling instead of skirmishes and gay-ass rushes every single time?
i want an RTS where i can build my impenetrable fortress of doom and watch as the enemies desperately try to penetrate it
>>330225670
Perimeter.
>>330225670
Its called being a women you fag
>>330225670
any RTS against AI
Why don't you play SimCity instead.
This is why I hate rts
>get started building my base
>get first building done HEY LOOK FAGGOT IT'S THE ENEMY WITH MAXED UNITS ALREADY MIGHT AS WELL QUIT NOW

RTS's are meant to be played aggressively with strategic defensive positions when needed
I love rushing build fags like you
>>330225792
not really.
most rts punish you for trying to turtle
>>330225670
city builders are more up your alley
>>330225670
Stronghold my nigga
>>330225792
This. Just play defense.
The amount of casuals in this thread is astonishing.
GIT
GUD
While not an rts there's a few 4x games that seem to favor people who turtle with their army

No online rts games will allow that for obvious reasons.
>>330225871
>I love rushing build fags like you
And this is why RTS is a dead genre.

>>330225871
get the fuck back to your fagcraft 2 and stay there
fucking faggots
>>330225871
Yes I'm sure everyone loves it when the game ends in 3 minutes
>>330225973
playing rts games fast is stressful
I want a nice relaxing experience
Supreme commander for example got no rush rules for 20 minutes or so.
try this
Try playing on a map where you and the enemy are seperated by water, from what I've seen in most rts ai sucks when It comes to water, they'll usually only send like 1 tiny ship with troops in it wave after wave
>>330225670
the Stronghold games are just that, the first one is especially excellent
other than that I can only think of some tower defense games
Isn't it because basically all RTS just go with destroy enemy in MP? No other victory conditions are used.
>>330226112
>>330226694
>>330225912
These
Stronghold + Crusader, it's basically the premise of the game
Age of Empires versus AI
watch as you build walls around all their cities and keep them in the stone age while you have planes
>>330226816
Yes but some of us want to see how long we can last when our shit is fully up and running, not when you only have 3 workers and half a building built
>>330225912
I second this

The first Dawn of War, if you play as Necrons. You have to expand a little bit, but most of their playstyle is turtling until you get their Monolith online.
>>330226417
The game also has bubble shields and artillery and shit.
Great game for turtling.
>>330225670
isn't that what tower defense maps are for? i don't know how much more passive your buildup can get and still qualify as real time
>>330225738
I love how everyone just ignored actual answer. Damn scrubs.
>>330226417
>rush
>20 minutes
wew lad
>>330225886
you have to try
there is always a way
>>330227465
Best ways I could think of is to control a chokepoint or find a place the players/ai never check
>>330225670
>KKnD Krossfire

Pure sex. You should try this.
>>330226112
>>330226138
I recommend Sim City or some shit for you low test fuckboys.
Predictably enough, insecure compfags are already here.
>>330227276
this. i just wish there were more better tower defense games out there. pvz was good, the kingdom rush games are pretty swell, super sanctum TD was good but thats basically it honestly. the hybrid fps/td games like orcs must die and sanctum 2 were pretty fun, but dont really scratch the itch.
personally, i feel nothing really comes close to the old wintermaul and wintermaul wars maps on WC3 bnet. but that shit is dead as fuck.
Are there any RTS that have a "Hold X territories/chokepoints" victory condition to discourage both total turtling and rushing?
>>330227807
Literally first reply in this thread. FUCKING LITERALLY JUST PLAY THE GAME GOD FUCKING DAMN IT.

>>330228026
Classic RTS fans should try buying games sometimes, maybe then their precious genre wouln't be dead as shit.
>>330225670
Isn't that just Dungeon Keeper or that game where you play as a super villain trying to keep secret agents out? Mastermind? If you want to turtle, just play AoE2; that way you'll at least be comfy.
>>330228028
Shitters who are trash at RTS will always complain about rushes. It's the nature of the genre. If they want to play for fun there's always AI. The AI is piss easy to turtle against in basically anything.
>>330228447
idk, the AI in starcraft 2 will scale how well you do, and if you dont get your early game down and get your harassment tactics up the game will kick the shit out of you till the difficulty drops back down, reminding you that you suck donkey balls at RTS games.

>ITT: Angry Koreans sperg out while waiting for a match
It doesn't really matter if "rush" as strategy is viable. If it is not, 1k apm koreans will "rush" to high tier with optimal build path and make ten billions mega units while you stuck getting wood. It's problem of how overall better economy wins game because to win you need to destroy everything opponent have. Only really SupCom worked somewhat differently since you could at any point still snipe commander even if you super behind on economy.
You just can't into rts, it's whoever does many things faster and outplay one another, even if rushing becomes unviable and everyone will build you'll still suck at it because you actually suck at it since you can't counter rush and likely don't even know that rush is happening before it, well, happened. I mean I'm not some pro myself and I wouldn't mind some chill sit-back-and-enjoy rts game but it won't happen because rts don't work that way, look for turnbased.
