Europa Universalis IV is a rare true RTS game. By that, I mean that most games billed as RTS games are focused primarily on tactics rather than strategy. In games like Starcraft 2, being excellent at the micromanagement of units is usually far more important than any sort of strategic thinking. The Total War series uses a combination of turn based strategy and real time tactical battles. In EU4, by contrast, the player has no control over battles, only over the campaign map; they can pause the game to issue a series of orders to armies, navies, diplomats, merchants, etc., but those orders aren’t executed until the game is unpaused, at which point they are executed simultaneously along with everyone else’s.
