almanzo 144 Posted February 13, 2014 It struck me, as it did with high command in ARMA II, this is as close to RTS as you can get. Will it ever be possible? My thought is, just like you did in High command, by placing structures able to produce certain types of units based on available resources, is it possible to play ARMA III as an real time strategy game, controlling it from the top? From the trailer, it looks like you can place units at ease, without having to care about resources or anything like that. Is it done so that it can be modded? Imagine how awesome it would be if it could play like Red alert or the like, where you could spawn units based on resources and tech development? I wouldn't say that I'd want this to be an official feature, there are more important things. But with Zeus being here, if it's easily moddable and possible to restrict certain features with scripts or what ever, a mod can easily be made to make arma into an RTS. If you in addition could take control over individual units at will, it would be even more awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikkol 11 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Yes It is possible to have arma 3 as an rts. There is arma 2 mod called "Window of opportunity " and it can be easily ported to arma 3 Actually i ported "woo" to arma 3 for my own purpose and it is working.

chortles 263 Posted February 13, 2014 There's the possibility of a yellow bar at the top of the Zeus interface being a resource bar at the top, don't quote me on that though. :D In three of the four official screenshots there's the "lightning eye" icon over it and one without.

tortuosit 486 Posted February 15, 2014 Why using Arma 3 as an rts (with probably a lot of simulatin and animation overhead) when you can have Wargame Airland Battle etc.? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

almanzo 144 Posted February 16, 2014 Why using Arma 3 as an rts (with probably a lot of simulatin and animation overhead) when you can have Wargame Airland Battle etc.? One thing that would be possible in ARMA was to take controll over a unit in the middle of the fight for instance. That it self would be worth playing it as an RTS.

RTS arma 3 would be frickin awesome, a bit like company of heroes Ofcouse you need to do some changes if you port woo to arma 3 , but it isnt huge job :) If Mondkalb allow me to port "woo" to arma 3 , then i could send the "ported woo" to you.

MANTIA 55 Posted February 16, 2014 If they fixed some of the simple problems with High Command it could happen easily. Instead of fixing something like not being able to load an infantry squad into an APC in High Command. they decided to make Zues which has pretty much already been done with Shay's MCC Sandbox.

windies 11 Posted February 16, 2014 You can technically build an RTS out of Zeus since there are modules for resources per time cycle and modules for assigning resource value's to units and such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikkol 11 Posted February 17, 2014 There is no need to port "woo" to Arma 3 anymore,because you can play zeus as an rts . Zeus is pretty cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gudsawn 93 Posted February 17, 2014 I love Men Of War. If Arma 3 could be converted into an RTS (e.g. Window Of Opportunity but with Zeus) I can see Arma 3 becoming a big interest to those that enjoy RTS. Just imagine RTS versus battles.
