      I remember his excitement over his revolutionary idea “you don’t have any control over the dog in this one” - which was just worse in every way.

        There is somewhat similar game, where you do not have direct control of your units at all. And it is RTS. It’s name is Majesty. And especially the first game is absolutely fantastic!

          Because the sequel removed something that some people complained about. The individualistic behaviour and different patterns of different hero types. Now they are all braindead.

        What’s with game designers going “Wouldn’t it be cool if you couldn’t control- ?”

        No, it’s never cool. I’m playing a game. Whatever it is, I’m sure it will be better if I can control it.

      Nah, it’s an incredible idea, the actual execution just won’t turn out even close to the potential or promise.
