Why are these not in the 2024 RTS list? Criteria for an RTS game:
1. Army micro (without control it's an auto battler)
2. Resource collection (otherwise you're just deploying and fighting)
3. Base-building (part of what RTS classically is)
4. In real time (obviously)
5. Camera far away (if 1st or 3rd person only it's a shooter)

I need at least 4/5 to call a game 'RTS'. Genre names aren't literal dictionary definitions. 'Rock' has nothing to do with boulders. If literal, 'Real Time Strategy' would include every real time game. DotA? That's real time and is strategic.

Example:
Crusader Kings 3 is NOT an RTS. It's got base building with cities (3), in real-time (4), and a high camera (5), BUT it doesn't have resource collection (2) or unit micro (1), so only 3/5. Men of War 2 doesn't have resource collection or base building, so I don't label it an RTS either.
