Building or battling?
Me, I like to build shit. When I play RTS games I like to build and build and build some more and make this impressive gorgeous palace and well then someone ends up rushing me and killing me and I do not like that one bit. They recked my precious base I spent all that time and hard work on! So I dunno, what do you think, should we petition them to take out all the combat and just make it a base building sim?

It depends on the game. I do like building in most games, but like fighting aswell. Knights and Merchants was a fun game, I often sent my initial troops to die (they consume too many resources) while I built up my village, then I could start rebuilding my army.
In RA, I build massive armies, then go on an all out assault.
Edit: If you want a building only game, go play SimCity or something

Well it was actually a attempt at humour.
What after all... bollocks... I'm saying humor like a brit now.
Oh my I said a expletive like a brit to. You people are contagious.
Anyways, the point was, I like to build the base and then go stomping. Building a base to just sort of sit around does sound kinda silly though. And in all honesty, we have no idea really what this game is, right? I mean, I couldn't get the avi to play that is over at snipers'. I guess what I'm saying, is that if this is anything like a traditional RTS, which I doubt it will be. I would love it if Rush tactics were discouraged.
In other words I did not like the new version of Command & Conquer.

You need the Xvid codec in order to view the movie. Download this and it should work (right click on link and choose "Save Target As...." (if using IE))

Well, from waht I've read, in Darwinia, you take control of strike teams sent in to the system, so you wouldn't build at all.
It's an interesting to build small bases and things, like Stronghold, very fun game, but a idea I like is somthing along the lines of Codename: Panzer, you select your initial troops and then as you move through the level, you will find gun posts, vechicles, ect, and you can take them over after killing whoever occupied it before... Just a thought , but from the video, Darwinia looks so fast pace that you wouldn't have enough time to build anyway.

In the 2 page interview with PCG, Chris says that it's a 'cannon fodder' style game which means to me, 'Don't worry about your troops we'll make more. Just send them in and watch 'em die.' Somewhere in that article it also says that the interface is rather easy left click to move right click to shoot. I think where the stragey will come in will be the how and where of delopiment not so much how many and with what. Read the article first page second column. It's under exposure on the Darwinia main page.
