How can turn-based combat reward quick decision-making? Is it not the nature of turn-based that you have time for your decisions?

Inherit the Earth blew my mind when I was a child. Got it from a cd that came with a magazine. Gosh, want to replay it now

Maybe you have a timer on your turn, like the Worms series ?
Or, they use the same mechanics than in Final Fantasy series, with the action bar filling up over time...
Let's call this "real-time turn-based combat" !

Tales of Maj'Eyal is similar in that there you can play it extremely quickly, but if you stop, the game stops. Combined with the auto-explore feature, these are games that are turn-based, but feel quite real-time.
That said, Tales of Maj'Eyal will frequently lull you into a real-time mindset, then you run into an Elite, it kicks your ass and there's a horrible temptation to rapidly hit buttons to run away - nope, you should have taken your time, realised that a teleport, a shield, or a stance-change was the better option for survival! Can't tell you how often I've died to things that I realised, belatedly, that I had defences against!
