[quote name="FABIO"][quote name="Mischief Maker"] Well this is why I don't like RTS games or really any game that involves building units mid-battle. I prefer to whittle my enemy's force down to size which is impossible if they're rolling off an assembly line. [/quote] Then you attack their resource producing buildings. The whole point of resource gathering in RTS games basically boils down to giving you an incentive to leave your base and attack & hold points on the map. I remember playing the original C&C with no buildings and a set starting number of units. Both players would just sit in a defensive formation and wait for the other. First person to advance and attack lost. Myth is the only RTS of that type that worked. Those games where everyone cautiously skirmished for 5 minutes until making a mad dash for the hill were great. Myth multiplayer was great. If Bungie.net were still up I'd still be playing it. [quote]This is why Laser Squad Nemesis is such an evil game because it's the ONLY recent game out that delivers exactly what I want in a strategy game, but I dare not play it casually because I have to pay a monthly fee to play. :( [/quote] Does that mean you've put down the epic campaign and started your multiplayer subscription? Afterschool at the flagpole, bitch. [quote]I woud totally love a tactical combat game with giant robots and 3D terrain. [/quote] It's worth mentioning again that Mech Commander 2 sucked.[/quote]
