But if we're talking about mythology, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fengshen_Yanyi
No, just no... that's a novel written more than two thousand years later...

The Iliad wasn't exactly written at the time of the Trojan War either.
The Iliad was composed in ancient times, not 2500 years later. Come on!
I'll try to be helpful, though: 山海经 ShanHaiJing is an ancient text that focuses on Chinese mythology.
Well, catalogue of fantastical beasts aside, the stories told in in the Shanhaijing tend to predate the Trojan War period by a thousand years or more. I was looking for a parallel to the Iliad in the form of a heavily romanticised, mythological accounting of actual events occurring around that era. I thought the question was basically "What notable events occurred in China during that period, and what mythology is associated with it?"
RTS are gaming's biggest disappointment. Somehow they stopped believing they could attract a wide diverse audience in favor of appealing to the nolives and ADD afflicted teenagers.
Doesn't help that RTSs are generally serious pieces of coding, not something untrained indies can handle. More than a decade and CA has never nailed the code that would allow for fluid soldiers movement and fighting in their games. Has there ever been a good survival RTS outside of warcraft custom maps? That shit would kill, but it's not being made. Good sim hybrids? Once every 10 years. I would rather hit my dick with a steel pipe over and over again than consider something as dull as Starcraft as the pinacle of RTS.
RTS just evolved into MOBAS.
Oh hey Microsoft, you know what would've been a good idea?
Not fucking up Ensemble Studios, you twats.
I remember catching a lot of exclusive alpha screenshots and information of Age of Empire 2 I might make a dump at some point because it's worth discussing.
Battle of the Middle Earth 2. It's hard to make it work though.Has there ever been a good survival RTS outside of warcraft custom maps?
There are good modded survival maps for it.Did you misread?
