Default Re: Oh yes, and....

SE5 will not under any circumstances be a RTS game! It will _never_ be comparable to Age of Empires, Starcraft, Warcraft, etc. It will be a turn based strategy game. It will just have real time combat. Just like Dominions... Many games have successfully pulled this off. Many turn based strategy games have had combat systems that were not real time, but essentially tried to emulate real time execution with constructs such as issuing orders, then watching the units act for a round without intervention. Real time with pausing is just a smoother, cleaner way of doing that...

Further, as it stands now, Aaron Hall is against the idea of 3D combat. Combat is currently slated to be 2D just as in SE4. It will have 3D graphics, but will still be on a single 2D plane. It will not be like Homeworld at all. Again, it will be just like Dominions, except with spaceships instead of soldiers/monsters.
