Mini RTS Battle Experience
Minimalist RTS focused on micromanagement.
Objective: survive 3 minutes. Random team on game restart.
Units automatically chase and attack enemies.
Left click over unit - select unit
Left click + drag - create selection
Right click over terrain - move
Right click over enemy - attack target
Ctrl + 1, 2, 3 - save group
1, 2, 3 - load groups
A + click over target - attack target
A + click over terrain - attack move (there are still issues with warrior)
S - stop
Shift + Right click - queues move action (there are issues with browser context menu)
ALT - show health bars
0 - RESTART GAME
The idea of the game is to have almost all normal rts actions and to create minimalist experiences of rts combats with heavy use of micro.

Playing with four archers feels like playing marines only starcraft. 10/10
any chance you could put this on github to see how it was done? its cool :)
I would love to but sadly I can't since I am using purchased assets that I don't have permission to share.
Which RTS engine asset are you using so I can follow up and learn the style of implementation :) CHeers!
I meant the visual assets, I have stuff from different artists like @penusbmic's https://penusbmic.itch.io/stranded-starter-pack for example (not necessarily for rts games). The code is all mine but I have it coupled in the same github repository.
if I lose one soldier = need to restart, otherwise the game is pleasant
Not necessarily, the idea of using a lot of micro management is to overcome obstacles like that one, and the AI is pretty simple, however it takes some practice to get used to micro.
Thanks for playing!!!
