    By devs making more RTS games where you play as ancient pagans and increase your power through worship of the gods, then destroy the other tribes by summoning natural disasters.
    Not every fricking RTS needs to be WW2 or scifi for fricks sake, no wonder the genre died.

      How do we save the RTS genre?

      There is a indie project in the works pitched as a spiritual successor to supcom (forged alliance, not 2)

      Not sure yet if it'll go anywhere but i think its worth keeping an eye on.

    We realize that kids now think MOBAs are RTS, and that actual RTS is confusing and oldfashioned.

    We make a game that fools them into thinking they're playing a MOBA when they're really playing a genuine fullscale RTS.

      This.

      Also people should buy and play new RTS games instead playing AoE and SC again and again.

    Go large like SupCom, Wargame, etc.
    It's supposed to be real time STRATEGY after all.
    Maybe back in the day your average PC couldn't handle that many units, but this really shouldn't be a problem today.

    Neural network ai. Doesnt matter if the games are all dead if you had an AI able to play against you in a manner that is human-like enough. AI in rts now is such garbage, the only difficulty comes from them blatantly cheating or pressing buttons far faster then even the highest ranked starcraft players.

    how about delivering on features instead of nostalgia? We are not nintendo platform fans. Strategy is in the name of the genre ffs.

      If Anno is on your list, you might want to look at Foundation
      Other than that, Total War got some new installments which are quite nice, even though they got much (partially deserved) criticism
