EPTthis thread is meant to determine all aspects of rts to help newcomers and old timers get it together collectively
First we need a definition ,
as wide and as bottlenecked as we ALL can define
+ Show Spoiler +
FEEL FREE TO TYPE IN YOUR (tldr) DEFINITION OF RTS
BEST DEFINITION : + Show Spoiler +
no one's posted yet duh
then we need
a catalogue of all "distinct" outlet / end products
(example an scbw like or a dota like etc)
+ Show Spoiler +
FEEL FREE TO TYPE IN YOUR (bullet point) LIST OF RTS GENRE
(any rts is elligible in a list but it has gotta be still playable online today to apply as goatlive, meaning many players daily/play it still)

into spellcasting tactics etc)

Real time strategy is litteraly what the words mean, real time making/reacting to an opponent doing the same unto you
.. this broadly or with a pin point perfect elite view .. all manners of definition have as much credence to claim the term RTS as theirs.
RTS is usualy assciated with video games but one could say table tennis is an rts ...
Then the definition has to draw the line in the sand somewhere,
so it should be noted that my definition of rts is scbw (starcraft 1 extension "brood war"), but technicaly i should also point out it was warcraft 1 shareware (into w2) that make me addicted to rts.
RTS requires brain eye hands coordination, strategy (pure and technical (mastering/exploiting in built gameplay for instance) and its "eye of the storm" is (or should be in my p o v) DECISION MAKING.
One could argue it could be called "real time decision making with a mouse and keyboard".

w i p :
Nemrods adds (or over emphasize) to the previous case in point :
manual targeting (dps or mind control) / stealing units as a gameplay
allying / breaking alliances between users
hiding ccs in all over the map through different level of ressources (much higher potential than in sc2)
3/ case in point :+ Show Spoiler +
my w i p : unamed right now
insert rts more moves here :
"saving" a hero unit in the course of the early game to use / unlock mid game or late game
.. i want to go further in the scenario route
w i p
<3 stay tuned
