Another idiot is born. Did you have to practice to become an idiot or did it 
just come naturally? By your collectively idiotic definitions any FPS would 
qualify as an RTS. Strategy, definition: "the science and art of employing 
the political, economic, psychological, and military FORCES of a nation of 
group of nations to afford the maximum support to adopted policies in peace 
or war." Note the plural use of the noun FORCES. You can't implement 
strategy with one unit retard.
