enjoys playing real-time strategy (RTS) games.
Home to major titles such as Starcraft and Warcraft,
the RTS genre typically requires some sort of
economic component. Many believe that the economy
is the most important aspect of an RTS game, and for
good reason. Succeeding in an RTS game requires
careful planning of an economy, which enables the
player to build fighting resources at a consistent pace.

3.  In most RTS games, the economic system is
abstracted to include resources such as gold,
trees, gas, minerals, and more. Players often
start with only a central building and a small
fleet of resource collectors, which they must
use to create new buildings and upgrade their
technological capabilities. In the course of
battle, players may lose their structures and
suffer economic losses as a result. As such,
good strategy often involves striking
opponents where it will do the most economic
harm.
