the UI limits players to a certain APM.
Any guesses as to what that APM is approximately?

its less than 150 i think. i always micro my important battles more than my opponents (another thing- you can see orders given in replays, makes for a great learning process) and my APM is shockingly low.
and obviously, when you have infinite order cues, its often a moot point.
map, but with commentary!

So less speed, more precision. It's kinda like playing protoss.
But then I never liked playing protoss. :(

well, not even that. its the fact that you can zoom out, grab 200 units and get them all to move where you want. they'll fire at whatever they're good at destroying, and you dont need to hold their hand every second.
those that have a high APM will obviously do well, but its not mandatory. good decisions, rather than many decisions.
ahhh, nothing like a good ol supcom thread hijack :D :D

Quoted only to acknowledge one of the greatest games ever.
And truth be told, its the ONLY RTS I can think of in which a controller would be better than a mouse/keyboard. Mainly because there hardly is any micro-management; most of the game is played from the transformer you play as. Why am I even saying that, you already know whats up! :p

I've never really played Populous. Everything I hear about it is all-around positive.
As for a new version of Herzog Zwei...if that were to ever become a reality...my god.
...Or at least a re-release on Steam/PSN/Live with online multiplayer and enhanced visuals.
