This looks like what would happen if Interplay got their hands on Westwood's C&C tech and decided to make their own RTS. I wholeheartedly approve of this and can only ask that the developers take their time crafting this. The Tiberium Wars C&C games walked that fine tightrope of being both tongue-in-cheek and playing it straight and somehow made it work - mostly.
(We don't talk about C&C 4 and neither should you.)
I wish the developers all the best and hopefully we will see some further developments in the near future.
