Relic has gone too far imo. I enjoy RTS, not RTT. Real time strategy is the full battle theater with the need to manage the economy and tactics of the battle. RTT, real time tactics is simply the tactics portion of the game without the economic portion. I miss base building because it adds more depth to the game. IMO DoW had it perfect, but DoW2 felt more like a dungeon crawler with cover mechanics than a RTS (which I don't think it is.)

Single player was like you describe, but multiplayer absolutely has an economics portion. And you even get to build things. MP is what makes that game awesome.

I think you hit the nail on the head. DoW had the best balance IMHO. Some great base building with lots of neat tactical mechanics to keep the game dynamic and engrossing

I felt DoW2 was too DotA IMHO. I wanted a little more base building and fewer epic hero units.

But DoW 2 only lets you have one hero unit... and it's nothing like DotA. I think you're forgetting that DoW 1 actually let you have multiple heroes unless you were playing Necron who only needed the one.
