I have to say that I do prefer RTS, my first one being Ancient Art of War waaaaay back :)
However, I did get in my share of turn-based games. I remember when I first played Civilization, it was over Christmas break during college, and I didn't go home because it was too expensive. I ended up playing Civ for 3 days straight, and my Christmas dinner was toast, 6 boiled eggs and peanuts... whatever I could rustle up quickly without taking too much time away from the game.
