Thinking about the effect on our understanding of war that RTSs don’t simulate morale, at best a crowd control effect, at best at best more effective against injured units.
Like, that you can train up the most basic armed-villager unit, immediately send it by itself into enemy territory, and then when it encounters an enemy heavy tell it to attack in a fight that’s doomed but delays and attrits them, and 100% of the time they’ll do it\u2026 that’s not really true to practice
