Saying that base building is a chore and only exists as a way to get an army belies ignorance on the part of the player or is evidence of a poorly designed game. In any RTS game, especially SC/SC2, base building is just as important in terms of strategic value as fighting and winning battles. Some might even go as far as calling it a hindrance.Īfter reading the whole thing it was clear to me that the author is greatly underestimating the strategic value of base building. And, for the most part, you do it in a time constraint, fearing the coming onslaught of Red Helmeted Fanatic Zerglings under strict orders from Saruman to wipe you off the face of Middle Tib Sara. Because it is your only way to build up an army. When you are playing anything but "no rush 5 minutes, n00b game"s, be it single player missions or multi player matches, you are building the base because you have to.
Today I stumbled upon a blog post where the author argued that base building in today's RTS games is a chore and feels a lot like work.Īnyone else get that feeling when playing any of the recent mainstream RTS games? It was novel at first.
