I've been in a coma the last 20 years, How's the RTS genre going? Strong as ever? Is there a Warcraft 4 yet?

RTS split up into a thousand different genres. RTS is not a meta-genre anymore and now occupies a small niche. All modern RTS are Starcraft-likes now. Innovation has completely stopped. Starcraft 2 was the last great RTS and also heralded it's downfall.

>Is there a Warcraft 4 yet?
No, they instead made a Warcraft MMO, where all important characters were killed. The story is completely fucked.

Yes, it's called stormgayte and it's revolutionised the genre.

Or worse, rewritten into being peaceloving cucks.

I mean, that’s not entirely true for all the little sub genres.

Yeah, but RTS fans hate it, if you call Strategy Games in real time "RTS", if they don't play like Starcraft. Like when you call Total War an RTS, they will sperg out.

>>2165135
That's because it's RTT, nothing to do with starcraft
Is AoE4 a starcraft game?

See? That's what RTS-fags are like.

WoW was already out 20 years ago.
News of it was even out before wc3 was released.
>>
>>2164102
I'm not sure if it has cannibal survival in multiplayer yet but Age of Mythology has a Chinese and Japanese pantheon expansion now
>>
>>2165301
That would get me pretty excited 20 years ago, though I'd still be disappointed that we have no Sumerians or Aztecs.

You might not believe this, but we're still playing Brood War.

Even thinking about Warcraft 4 feels awkward. The franchise is in such a weird place. I can't imagine what blizzard could add. I know they added pointless races but I don't see how they could be new units or factions. Stormgate completely bundled one of their races but Zero Space looks decent.

>I don't see how they could be new units or factions
I can see with nuDraenei and Zandalari at least.
In fact aren't there mods that add them?
But yeah I can't picture races like Vulpera and Dracthyr being RTS factions. At most they could have a mercenary lodge or a tavern hero.

>>2166157
How would draenei or zandalari play that isn't more of the same?

Like how would WC4 look/play for it to be an improvement over WC3?
>>
>>2168378
the next progression of the rts is clearly the gsg.
the next warcraft would be a gsg with heroes
>>
>>2168382
>GSG
So... Either not a game or just Dawn Of War campaign or Total War Warhammer without a care about online pvp play?
>>
>>2168382
Crusader Kings Guardians of Azeroth?

I am going to fucking kill myself
