Are there any strategy games that never compromise on the scale? I hate big goofy units representing armies fighting. I want to see the whole battle to scale. The whole city to scale. Everything in full. Does that exist?
The Total war series does that.
Give Planetary Annihilation a try. It fries my brain having so many things to do at once and I get the feeling if I could do it better it would be my favourite game.
Yeah, unfortunately I am not super interested in their subject matter. A US Civil War or WW1 game would be my dream.
Aren’t RTS like you are describing very difficult to balance because of every unit having projectiles? The only ones people liked I think are the CoH games.
>>13513 Regarding WW2 RTS I think Men of war is much better.
Who cares about balance? This isn't about abstract games that need to fiddle with arbitrary rules so no player feels offended, it's about simulating battle to scale. War isn't balanced. >>13510 >US Civil War Ultimate General?
>>13510 Mod Total Annihilation with old-timey units?
Spring 1944 is an open source World War 2 game that is inspired by Total Annihilation. The Spring engine was originally made for a Total Annihilation clone and there are other games using the same engine. It's free so you can just try it.
