Realistic RTS

Lynck · 2000-10-26T03:01:00

I know people want realism in tons of games, but what about Real Time Strategy/War games? I am designing one that is so realistic, i am about to fall over from all the research i''ve been doing. No HP, just strength and a little picture of the unit''s body and areas that are injured. If you get shot in the head, chances are that unit is dead. And i was also thinking of putting in building accidents, like a guy falls off the Great Wall of China when he is building it. Would you people actually play that kind of RTS?

I dunno what the latest close combat game was, I think there up to 5 or somthin by now, but I played the first 3 and enjoyed ''em heaps. I just loved the way you had to manuver you troops round the map to get a good firing position without having them spotted by enemys hiding amongst the building. More strategy than who can build units faster.
