Shogun 2 wins hands down. Strategy games like Civilization massive V, Empire: Total War, and Sins of a Solar Empire intensive learning and planning becomes amazing. These guys are "real" strategy games. SC2 is real-time tactics, what it does and how it does business in real-time action. In general, the strategy has less control a game with the action. Imagine Shogun 2 as the general commander behind the lines, looking at a map of the battlefield, while smoking cigars. In SC2 it would be a field commander, watching the action in person and make decisions in fractions of a second to his troops. First requires planning and strategy, tactics and later requires control.
