Just here for the activity... well not really

Does anyone know a good RTS for the DS, because the controls seem so easy to imagine. It's like, just click on the unit and order it.

Does animal crossing count? Since it is real time, and it is technical strategical. :P



None.

Heroes of Mana, by Square Enix. It's reasonably fun, but the controls are horrible. It takes me about 5 minutes to order 1 unit to attack. :P I'm not sure if that's because I suck or the controls suck...

Not really a RTS but Advance Wars. More like a TBS

This is another TBS, but I really like Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2.

An interesting RTS on the DS that you may want to look at, is Lock's Quest.

I remember seeing a development port of SC on the DS. Haven't checked their progress for awhile though; might want to google for it.

Oh and check out Robocalypse. Mostly positive reception.

the SC port was called Starlite, Blizzard issued a C&D and development stopped at version 0.3 (not much working, LOTS AND LOTS of glitches, essentially unplayable).

Robocalypse is OK.... nothing to write home about.



this too shall pass

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
