All of it was higher, you realize. The solar shone, cool winds caressed amber cornfields, everybody acquired all of the Christmas presents they requested for, and real-time technique was the dish of the day—the style Goliath to which all others have been mere Davids. Besides they have been shedding. They have been like David however they misplaced.
I am shedding the thread, however the level is that RTS video games are good and, in 2025, tragically underserved. Nonetheless, chin up: the most recent Humble Bundle consists of an entire bunch of RTS bangers (and a few less-than-bangers) to tide you over in our ongoing real-time technique drought.
