I've heard it be referred to as RTS, but to me Total War games seem very unique from RTS games.
i like to call it Real-Time-Tactical. in most RTS games their`s not a whole lot of strategy in the battles themselves. the battles are very watered down and have an arcade feel to them. while RTT games like shogun have more of a sim feel to them.

well actually their are a few games that are similar to Totalwar. the first one that comes to mind are the sid meier games like sid meier`s gettysburg and sid meier`s antietam. they`re american civil war games. and they play very similar to CA`s totalwar series. both are great games

also a game called Ground Control by sierra games is a little bit like the totalwar games but with more modern weapons.

and of course the last 2 that i know of is a game called WATERLOO: napoleans last battle and Austerlitz: napoleans greatest battle- these 2 games are based on the gettysburg game engine but the BIG addition to these 2 is cavalry and it makes a very noticeable difference for sure

while i don`t think these 2 are as fun as gettysburg and antietam... the addition of cavalry changes the game quite a bit and forces players to make better battle field decisions etc...etc..

but that`s about it. and i would have to say the totalwar series is the best
