Right after Opposing fronts was released, I was a top 5 player (reached lvl 15-lvl 18) in all 4 races with an amazing average apm of 40. COH is all about decision making and strategy. There is almost zero macro but a bit of micro. | ||

RUSE is a RTS but the pace is so slow and the map is so big that makes APM almost unnecesary , you act like a general sending your troops to positions in a "board" that is the battlefield. the game is pretty nice , I was in the beta and liked it a lot because is all about the big strategy gameplan that you have , a single unit is worthless if its not well positioned.(i.e. infantry in the forest) when I have the money ill definetely get it. this series of videos show it quite OK. They are all real time strategies. Or grand strategy if you prefer. | ||

It's extremely polished for an open-source game, has a decent multiplayer community and is quite competitive. Can't say much about balance as I haven't played it in a while, but a year or so ago it was quite decent. One thing that could put you off though is that it's heavily randomized and thus luck based. | ||

+ In terms of other games, Company of Heroes is pretty decent, and Civilisation V is nice as well. I also used to love Age of Empires, but I stopped playing at AoE2. | ||

To be honest you can play sc2 with a minimum of 60-90 and be 2k+ (e.g. trump, although for zerg i'd say you need at least 80-90 (idealy 120-130) to get there), but i guess watching pro's from bw play for the last decade heavily influenced my opinion on what 'low' apm is... | ||

I don't know how much stuff he could've done in addition to what he did though, but I never got the feel that he's limited by his multitasking ability. Not much simultaneous battles, not much base management needed. | ||
