No, you just played an RTS game and played it as a turtle.

In the sense yes. The first time I've played a Tower Defense game was when I was an avid WC3 Custom game participant.there were countless tower defense games that tests your abilities to maze and manage your income.

Tower defense first appeared in Starcraft (not Starcraft 2) custom games, called Use Map Settings. One that comes of the top of my head at the moment is Sunken Defense. After this they were also very popular in Warcraft 3 mods.
I remember playing so many of them in the first Starcraft. That's the only thing I played at the time.

I remember way back with a few RTS games I played building up and defending against successive waves of the enemy that the AI player would throw at me. As time went, I'd build up enough towers or troops to stave off all attacks and then I could go on the offensive. That was always a fun and challenging phase of each round. The games I'm thinking of are, Age of Empires and Command and Conquer. Other subsequent RTS games, if not every single one, has the same elements.
Could this game play I've described be the true roots of the Tower Defense genre?
