Real Time Strategy - Have you ever played games like Age of Empires? Micro-manage a bunch of units to go and attack other units, build cities so you can make more unit if they die, attack other peoples cities and win the game. Halo Wars is pretty much that (in layman's terms) with a Halo theme attached to it.

Real Time Strategy.

Think Starcraft or early Warcraft. If you're looking to get into the genre, these two are good starting points, also consider Sim City, Age of Empires, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Civilization.
