This article is a bit more technical. If you want to learn about the gameplay, features, and mechanics instead, go ahead and try the demo!The conceptFrom the very beginning, the goal was to create a simulation capable of handling large numbers of both player controlled units and enemies on a global scale.The key to achieving this is separating unit rendering from the simulation itself. The simulation runs in the background in discrete time steps, while only the units currently visible on screen are rendered, ideally at 60 FPS.How does the simulation work?So, you don't want to limit the number of units in your game. How do you keep everything running smoothly?The most computationally expensive task is pathfinding. Workers go about their daily routines autonomously, constantly searching for paths. Then you launch a large scale invasion and suddenly issue movement orders to hundreds of uni…
