What type(s) of strategy game(s) do you prefer?

(Note: I started this thread just for fun. No chest-thumping for your particular sub-genre please!)


Obviously, most of us have played at least one Total War title at some point (if not more), but strategy games in general seem to be pretty popular here. Games like Galactic Civilizations 2, the Civilization series, Sins of a Solar Empire, and just about any Paradox title (especially EU3, HoI2, and Vicky) get a lot of love in this forum.

My question is, which kind appeals most to you? Are you primarily a Civilization/MOO2-type turn-based strategy player? Do you like mostly real-time-tactical games like Starcraft and Company of Heroes? Are you usually a sucker for real-time grand strategy titles like the Paradox games? Or do you find that "hybrid" games -- those that combine turn-based strategy with real-time battles (like the Total War series) -- are primarily your bailiwick?


EDIT: I deliberately allowed for multiple-choice voting, by the way. I realize sometimes it's too hard to pick just one! (Also, I know some games are hard to classify; i.e., a lot folks argue over whether SoaSE is real-time tactical or real-time strategy.)
