RTS is the strategic equivalent of FPS. Basically its about being a nth level multitasker that can micromanage the whole map...
There's really two types of RTS games. There's the SupCom/Starcraft style where micromanaging is based in your economy and production. Then there's the Myth/Total War style of RTS where you have a limited number of troops.
I greatly prefer the Myth/TW style against other players. I'm not so hot at micromanaging everything needed for a Starcraft style RTS. I generally win about 70% of my Myth/TW style games, while I only win about 30-40% of my Starcraft style games.
