    General Is the "Remaster" trend good for the genre?

    I just completed one remastered campaign and honestly the remaster trend is saving RTS to some extent l 😂. Many younger players never touched these classics before. Without remasters, some legendary games would disappear completely. Plus not everybody can run modern games with current GPU...

    General Are modern RTS games becoming too "simplified"?

    I've been trying one newer RTS and honestly modern strategy games are becoming too simplified. Everything is now designed so nobody gets confused. Please, where’s the depth again? Old games used to trust players to learn through suffering a little 😂..Now tutorials hold your hand like a nursery...

    General What is the best "dead" RTS series that needs a comeback?

    I was watching old Red Alert 2 clips and honestly that franchise deserves a comeback immediately. At least they should bring back the games with proper madness and personality. The campy acting, crazy superweapons, ridiculous factions. They are great for entertainment.Modern RTS games feel too...

    General Is StarCraft or Age of Empires the better franchise?

    This StarCraft vs Age of Empires debate can linger forever 😂. Personally I lean more toward Age of Empires because it feels more relaxing. StarCraft is too intense sometimes. Just a little distraction can wipe out your whole base instantly. But i cant lie, StarCraft has deeper competitive...

    General Why don't they make RTS games like they used to in the 90s?

    I just finished reinstalling one old Command & Conquer game and honestly RTS games from the 90s had a different soul. Nowadays everything is too polished, too safe, too focused on esports balance. Back then devs just threw crazy ideas together and somehow it worked beautifully. I think the...

    General Do you use hotkeys for everything, or do you click the icons?

    I’ve been practicing hotkeys again and honestly people clicking icons manually in RTS are brave warriors 😂. I used to be one of them until StarCraft humbled me badly. By the time I clicked three buildings, the enemy's army had already reached my base. Still, i wont lie, sometimes clicking icons...

    General Should "map hacking" lead to a permanent ban?

    I checked one replay and realized the guy was obviously map hacking 😂. That should attract permanent ban straight. No appeal. There is already enough cheating in real life, so at least games should remain clean. Back then, once somebody got caught map hacking, nobody wanted to play with him again.

    General How do you handle a "sore loser" who won't quit the match?

    There was a very stubborn guy who refused to surrender despite losing everything except one hidden worke. I nearly slept off chasing him around the map. Sore losers in RTS deserve special punishment honestly. Some people just want to waste your time because they’re angry.

    General Is "GG" (Good Game) mandatory, even if you lose badly?

    I was literally arguing about this yesterday after one painful defeat 😂. And I am saying “GG” should still happen even if the match annoys you. It’s just basic respect honestly. Back then, refusing to type GG after losing was enough to start a full argument. But some winners can also provoke...

    General Do you prefer ranked ladders or casual custom games?

    Recently, i've been jumping between ranked and custom matches and honestly casual custom games fits in my current mood more. Ranked ladders stress me too much now 😂. One loss and your whole evening spoils instantly. Custom lobbies still have that old-school vibe. People trying weird strategies...

    General What is the most toxic behavior you’ve seen in an RTS lobby?

    I finished one custom lobby now and honestly RTS communities can be unbelievably toxic 😂. The worst ones are those players that insult everybody once they start losing. One guy called his teammate “useless farmer” because he forgot one defense tower. That's just too deep for just a game.

    General Do you watch professional RTS tournaments or streamers?

    Lately, I've been watching some old StarCraft tournament clips. Professional RTS matches still gladdens my heart honestly. The tension, the comebacks, the commentators shouting like football finals are quite interesting. Some streamers make ordinary farming units look like military geniuses...

    General Is "rushing" in the first 5 minutes unsportsmanlike?

    Rushing in the first five minutes is annoying but it’s not unsportsmanlike. I mean, it's a strategy game. I used to complain too until one guy told me “if your base is weak, that's your problem.” That statement was painful but it changed my mindset instantly.

    General What is your average "Actions Per Minute" (APM)?

    I was just checking my old StarCraft stats and my APM was embarrassingly low 😂. Around 70-90 max. Meanwhile some online guys play like they are on drugs. Their hands are moving so fast. I stopped caring too much about APM after one guy with crazy speed still lost because his strategy was not too...

    General Do you prefer 1v1 duels or big 4v4 team games?

    Since yesterday evening i’ve been stuck in one 4v4 RTS match and honestly team games bring better vibes more than stressful 1v1s. In 1v1 every mistake feels personal😂. One small error and somebody starts typing “gg ez” immediately. At least in team games you can blame your teammate. Plus the...

    General How do you feel about "Mercenary" units that anyone can hire?

    I remembered how mercenary units used to cause serious issues amongst my friends during old RTS matches 😂. One guy would suddenly hire one overpowered nonsense unit and destroy everybody’s hard work instantly. But honestly i still like the idea. It adds unpredictability to matches. The annoying...

    General What is the hardest faction to master in your favorite game?

    The hardest faction i ever tried mastering was Zerg in StarCraft. Everything was too fast. You look away one second and your whole economy is gone. 😂 Some people make hard factions look easy online but once you try it yourself, there is respect immediately.

    General Should factions have completely different units or shared ones?

    Honestly factions should have mostly different units. If everybody shares the same soldiers with tiny changes, What's the point again? One reason Red Alert still gets my attention today i because Allies and Soviets actually felt different. This copy-paste faction style modern devs that they do...

    General Which game has the best "Evil" faction?

    I was just checking one old Warcraft III replay and honestly the Undead faction still has the craziest vibes I've ever seen in RTS. Everything about them looked wicked in a cool way 😂. There are skeletons everywhere, creepy buildings, strange sounds, that’s evil energy. Even their music used to...

    General Do you prefer symmetrical maps or asymmetrical ones?

    I've been replaying one old Red Alert map and honestly, symmetrical maps are starting to bore me. Every side is too equal and too predictable as well. I like when one player starts near water or one dangerous hill. It makes the whole thing feel more alive. These modern RTS games want everything...
