Default Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

In grade school, there was a really nice game called Robosport.

It did the real time tactical combat quite well, by allowing you to set a time limit per round of combat.
You program in your orders on all the robots (move here, wait and fire at motion, stand up/crouch/lie down, plant bomb, switch to rocket launcher, wait for x seconds, etc)

You hit the equivalent of the "end turn" button, and the robots have at it for 5, 10, 60 seconds, whatever you set. Then you give new orders and edit your old ones.

I got pretty good at it, and could take on all comers 3-1 (max four teams)
My bots moved like a swat team, covering each other, hiding in bushes, busting into buildings, setting ambushes.

Real time tactical done right is fantastic, and I believe Aaron can do it.
