Not really
Gas=Gold
Minerals=Trees
Exact same concept
They work pretty much exactly the same.
Total War and Warcraft are pretty different
Real Time Strategy games aren't the same, theres a few quite unique ones.
The problem with that is that in WoW you use strategy when you're in a raid, so WoW also fits into the rts section, as well as the mmorpg section. rts is really broad.
Real-time strategy (RTS) games are a genre of computer wargames which do not progress incrementally in turns.[1] Brett Sperry is credited with coining the term to market Dune II.[2][3]
A wargame is a game that deals with military operations of various types, real or fictional.
and does WoW really deal with military operations as much as it deals with 'go kill that dragon'?
^so?
I thought that wow had pvp with alliance vs horde. Is that not war?

No, WoW is an MMO, not an RPG, because you interact with a lot of players.
Actually, WoW is neither an RPG nor an MMO, because it is a fantasy game.
See how your logic fails here?

I was just saying the word rts is only vaguely related to the 'real' meaning of real time strategy, which you would think would include anything that was real time and involved strategy (it's hard to play any game without a strategy).
I am well aware that Wow is considered a mmorpg, because that explains what it is way better.
Not sure how that relates to my post but ok.Its not a RTS, period. You don't control armies, you control a single character of which you can customize to be stronger, while doing quests (RPG...). In RTS games, you control armies, and in most cases, gather up resources, build up forces, and attack, defeating your opponents.
