Info in the 2aw HUD

Many RTS games have a info panel in thier HUD. This panel is used to display many different types of information, mostly about the in-game units. Using such an info panel adds a lot more information about the unit stats without adding too much extra... |

Thoughts on Tactical RTS Maps

theOcelot, yes you can totally ignore points, and you can attack them from six sides, 2aw is set in 3d like homeworld. But ignoring points will make you loose the battle.
Talroth, Yes but then the other play could play a cat and mouse games, cap... |

Thoughts on Tactical RTS Maps

Yes there is some thing important at each control point.
Most will be little stations, radar boys, rocky covered places.

Info in the 2aw HUD

I am doing another blog post about my thoughts on RTS UI - stay tuned. |

Making an online RTS interesting (Pure conceptual discussion)

I think one can derive very good game play from simple concepts. No need to add different civilizations or gods. This is all fluff. "with a bit of pillaging here and there" Now with war there is infinite possibilities on how to wage it... |
