You're an idiot.

I was agreeing with you. My "sounds realistic" comment was directed at the game, not your plan.

Addendum to my previous post: Turns out light infantry and cavalry are all missile units, which makes the RPS system make a little more sense.

It helps a bit, I guess. Though I don't see why foot or mounted missle units should be any better than melee units at destroying artillery. But in most RTS games artillery is nothing more than a glorified building demolitions crew, so EE2 is doing at least one thing right. I'm still undecided about the whole R-P-S system. I like it a lot in the Homeworld games (which had some of the most straight R-P-S methods ever), but in historical games is just feels *off*. Perhaps I'm just a jackass who can't seperate history from games.

I dunno, I'm avioding this game to begin with. Combining the pace of an RTS with the UI and completity of a 4X does not sound like fun to me. It sounds like a high pressure job.
