RTS is a niche, but has the potential to be a very compelling, decent-sized niche.

My first serious non-Amiga games were all RTSs. Warcraft, C&C, Friday afternoons at work playing Warcraft 2 (the sound of bloodlusted ogres will never leave me) and Red Alert. Loved them. Still do.

There are challenging pressures on many game genres - stagnation in innovation/sequelization feels like it's turning people off the big games a bit, audiences that are aging and have other things to do (kids and stuff), the requisite time consumption of RTS gaming, 'new' genres like MOBAs or the WoTs, mobile gaming...

But there are some standout hold-outs. The Total War series does really well, we're certainly not chopped liver, SC2 maybe isn't living the high life of old, but still pulls them in.

Ninja things:

Pack Howitzer Heat Barrage (vet2 barrage) range reduced by 10, lowered scatter. Added barrage cooldown decrease and range increase to default barrage on pack howitzer vet2 like for other attack types. AND NO LONGER GAINS HEAT ROUNDS FOR THE BASE ATTACK. Goodbye Pack Howitzer being useful, back into the trash heap with the LEIG and SU76.

But, its mostly about explaining the problems, not about exploring solutions.
