Could you build this?
Partial While basic games can be scaffolded by AI, writing a performant custom RTS engine with pathfinding, 20 balanced missions, energy network mechanics, and 60fps mobile touch controls requires non-trivial game design and performance tuning.
What it would actually take: Likely built in Swift/SpriteKit or lightweight WebGL/Canvas wrapped for iOS. The hard part is the real-time simulation logic: node graph energy propagation algorithms, flow-field pathfinding for armies, and maintaining 60 FPS without memory leaks or battery drain during heavy combat simulations.
