Step-by-step reality.

I actually see this more often in TBS games than in RTS games. As well as the instant repurchase of units.

Yes, I didn't quite express myself correctly; I was more referring to unloading units from the build queue right at the enemy's feet when they don't expect it.

The same as monitoring, say, mines in Heroes.

Well, I'm not sure about that comparison.

But in general, my main argument is that when it's YOUR TURN in a game, you don't have to worry about anything. Perhaps this isn't the case everywhere, but for the most part, you can calmly plan, knowing that suddenly nothing bad won't happen, unless the power goes out in your house. And that's always been super boring for me.
