    RTS: Real Time Strategy. A Real-Time strategy (RTS) game is a type of computer strategy game which does not have "turns" like conventional turn-based strategy video or board games.

    Smh : Shaking my Head.

    [T]

    TBH : To be honest.
    Turtle (Turtling) : Turtling is also a strategy in RTS games such as StarCraft. It involves building up defensive structures to the point of one's home base being nigh-impregnable, then climbing the tech tree and building an army of superior units for a single, massive assault on the enemy base. It is the opposite of a rush. In games where starting resources are limited, turtling is generally not considered an effective strategy, as most RTS games have units that have a longer effective range than most turrets, it also allows the opponent to take control of more resouces than the turtle can, and then starve or them out or mount an effective siege or assault.
