I love RTS games, it was a great shame Amiga never got Command & Conquer until it got open sourced, I wounder if Clickboom would ever consider open sourcing Napalm, I love that game a bit hard but show what a slightly upgraded Amiga can do.

I'm not too sure but did'nt another RTS game called moonbase run on a basic amiga?

One of my fav RTS game after the Amiga was the crays Z game, I think it was planned to be ported to the Amiga. Would like something like that.

Infact I kind of alway felt Cannon Fodder could of be turned into more of rts, Z kind of game. thats what I would like to see.

I wouldn't mind a new game in the same style as Napalm... it was almost perfect, at least when it was released in '98.
Some updated graphics (not 3d) and we would have a winner... !

Napalm was awesome, but a bit unfair in the "AI" since the enemy was always atleast one level above you.
Napalm was RTG only.

Exodus was/is also great.

Napalm looked nice, but I think hand crafted pixels rather than rendered graphics could look better.

My advice would be aim for 68000 and 1mb chip, it will teach you how to code tightly, and well. Also, you'd be aiming for the biggest audience (hell, even my phone and dreamcast can run that spec on an emu!)

But remember you are writing in basic, so your never going to get top speed unless you can implement some inline assembler.

I'd start simple, just getting your guys moving on a tiled back ground, and work up from there.
You could always increase the spec later in the project, or for a later version.

Obviously there are lots of sites with ripped sprites and tiles you could use as stand in's. Once a graphics artist sees your engine running, i'm sure they'd jump at the chance to work with you!

at a minimum, id say it would be nice to have: group select, Attack guard and waypoint, base building, repair units, fog of war, veteran units, and a nice storyline ;)

This is best RTS ever :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stronghold_(2001_video_game)

It has many good features, it is still fun.

AOE2 is pooring clic&click game. Most annoying feature is that castles and walls doesn't actually protect troops, mean enemy can actyally shoot through castles/walls. Can't hide troops behind them.

1 Euro?! Even I can afford that! After listening to it for a few tracks on the site I was sold, thank you! :)

Would you ever consider working on another Amiga game some day? Some of us are still trying to keep the dream alive and a talented musician would be really appreciated. Perhaps you would like to make a few tracks for Tracker Hero, the Amiga Guitar Hero clone, it's a great way to promote your music with Amiga users and retro gamers.

Would it be possible to release a level editor for Napalm?

A good RTS will benefit from having different factions that play completely differently. Starcraft does this very well.
