Could you build this?

No Building a real-time strategy (RTS) game engine requires complex pathfinding (flow fields, A*), deterministic lockstep networking, state synchronization, and low-level physics/rendering. These systems demand deep systems architecture and game engine expertise that conversational AI cannot reliably generate end-to-end.

What it would actually take: A playable RTS requires a high-performance engine (C++, Rust, or Unity/Unreal) utilizing an entity-component-system (ECS) architecture. Critical hard components include deterministic lockstep or rollback multiplayer netcode to keep hundreds of unit states in sync across clients, spatial partitioning for collision, and scalable crowd pathfinding algorithms. Building this requires experienced game developers and multiplayer systems engineers.
