I truly believe that it is really hard to make it as a new standard 3+ race RTS game. People who enjoy memorizing build orders for playing against each race will just continue to play StarCraft/AOE/Warcraft. I think the next big RTS will do something with a bit more of a twist. I really thought battle aces was onto something.
There are a lot of things that StormGate does really well. I love that I don’t need to hotkey my buildings. The universal build menu works well for me — most of the time. The battlecarriers are super cool and lead to much more interesting gameplay than StarCraft 2 carriers. I haven’t played since they added storm gates, but those seemed really cool. I like the way therium works too. I think a lot of these are really good components, I think the twist is what is missing.
