In this article I want to describe the essence of the game and the economy — what I was guided by, where the elements were taken from. And I will tell a little more about myself and about how much time and for how long I have been inventing all this.
Starting from this article, I will publish a serie of articles on creating your own game in the style of the best strategies of 1990–2000: Dune, Total Annihilation, Supreme Commander, StarCraft or, for example, Warhammer 40 000. It will have something in common with everyone the above games, but of course it will be a little easier. And of course this game will be in full 2D. Although this did not prevent Dune from becoming one of the best strategies ever released.
