Huh... I don't know about calling it an RTS though based on that description... it sort of looks like the beginnings of one, and should probably be recognized for that, but a RTS? I'm not so sure... with a broad definition of the genre, though, it probably is.
I think it sounds exactly like a RTS. Hell, in some ways, it was more advanced than Dune 2 (the ability to move units in groups).
Quote:Of course Herzog Zwei (I've played the rom) isn't exactly a modern RTS either -- you can drive the ships, limited control, etc... but it clearly is a precursor to the genre as we know it... and also must have inspired Westwood's Dune 2, which was the first true RTS.
