  • The Homeworld Series (1+2 at least) comes Info mind in general.

    OP ist right though. A masterpiecish RTS ist nowwhere to ne found. I think, it has something To Do for other genres innovating out of the RTS Framework (DotA, LoL, even Pikmin).

    All can be played without the mechanical sweatfest traditional RTS turn Into, but instead focussing in Player knowledge and engagement.

    However, there ist the new Company of Heroes Game, though…


  • You think about a Mix of Thief and dishonored, i guess? Least Puzzle, more Sandbox stealth but Open for the Player to approach the Situation (and Not so much Tool/scenario Drive Like the Hitman Games). I would add Safe zones/Houses as in Nobody finds you there. So you can avoid running away from every enemy on the Map, which offen Happens If you have to flee. This could add some kind of inbetween restock or Adaptation options etc. Think espionage Thrillers and so in.



  • The Thing about electric cars is at least threefold…

    First, the drivetrain. Legacy carmakers are already ahead or closing the Gap. Its mostly Standard hard engineering.

    Seconds: battery. It is the Most expensive Hardware component. While VW, Stellantis and US legacy Starts Bildung battery plants, it is way cheaper in China to source the battery modules from CATL, the industry Leader. Subsidized in China and for Chinese manufacturers.

    Third: Software and Infotainment. Legacy Cars suck at this, but its the Most important Factor, at least in China itself.

    Fourth: the Combination of everything in an underlying Platform. Here, legacy struggles too,but they are not that far behind (and Tesla ahead). The Problem ist, Chinas manufacturers are, again, heavily subsidized in developement of These platforms.
