You might like RON if you turn down the game speed or use the pause button. When I first started playing it, I made liberal use of the pause feature, but I think this crippled my skill development with the game. I think playing with the game speed turned down will be better in the long run.
RON isn't about intensive micro-management like Starcraft or Warcraft 3, so quick reflexes aren't as crucial.

For TBS players, the pause button really come in handy

This is the RTS game that is closest to being a TBS game
Though you need to mod it to make it fun in the long run
But at least modding is easy

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

Can you help me understand exactly why the mods suggested will help a TBS gamer more enjoy RoN, what extra will it provide in this area?

I love playing Turn Based but do want to get into RoN

Many thanks

Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

Without any mods, the games will only last 1-1½ hour like any other typical rts game. With mods you can easy make them last as many hours as you want...

Thanks

I usually only have when doing something like Call To Power Units.tx which has so many lines and units..when scenario making

When I have done some other games I try writing the line numbers down from original to testing so I can track altered results..good or bad..

Full PM-box? Change here!

Sure, if you're doing some modding for games where modding is more advanced, then yes it could become helpful, but we're talking about RoN
