Dawn of War 4 and Total War: Warhammer 40k are two strategy games with a very similar target audience, and to top that off, they are being simultaneously developed. We discuss what this means for the market, and how these games should be different from one another, and how they can play off of each others' strengths.

In this episode, we compare and contrast remasters with remakes, with a particular focus on the upcoming Dawn of War Definitive Edition and recent Age of Mythology Retold!

Tempest Rising's release has been quite successful, and has been very well received by the RTS audience. Perfect time to interview Lead Designer Brandon Casteel about what kind of thinking went into the game!

Frost Giant Studios has promised the next generation of RTS through Stormgate, but community sentiment has rapidly deteriorated since the early access release.In this episode, we discuss what some key issues are.
