General Should games focus more on base building or fast combat?

I played one RTS that threw me straight into combat straight away, there was no time to build anything properly. Honestly I enjoy base building more. Watching your economy grow slowly just feels very satisfying. Fast combat can be very stressful sometimes. Games should allow players relax small before the chaos starts, they don't have to rush everything.

I’m with you on this one. Watching your base grow slowly is part of the fun of RTS games. There’s something satisfying about starting from almost nothing and gradually building a functioning economy.
