    Interesting. The disease at play reminds me a little of the plague from the book Stranger by Simon Clark. The disease was referred to colloquially as 'jumpy' due to the late stage symptoms before someone turned (long incubation time before you went psycho), and the end result was called a 'hornet' for both the extreme aggression and the tendency to form 'hives' out of masses of infected jammed into a single small space. There was a psychic/hive mind element to the whole affair as well. The hives, BTW, didn't spawn more hornets. Their purpose was far nastier.

    An aircraft carrier can consume around 100,000 gallons of fuel per day, depending on its size, speed, and operational activities. This can vary based on factors such as the carrier's propulsion system and the type of operations it is conducting. That is just about 6 inches per gallon of gas! That is A LOT of fuel!

    MOAB would easily destroy a few city blocks local to the detonation point. It would also have the effect of a hyperbaric bomb, of sorts, by creating a massive high-pressured air blast. When confined to caves and tunnels, such as when it was utilized in Afghanistan, those pressure waves pretty much shred humans, or at least destroy enough of their anatomical structure to kill or severely wound them.
    A neutron bomb would be the one which "melts" organic creatures with ionizing radiation while leaving structures untouched. Of course...those hypothetically emit an isotope with a half life of about 50 years, so in 150, 200, 250 years we might be able to reinhabit those structures with a safe degree of radiation exposure :D

      And so called 'neutron bombs' are in fact just an atomic weapon but with an increased gamma ray and neutron out put.

Some games will use uniforms and building colors to be distinctive, which you have done with some buildings being yellow. You could also have a building list on the side of the screen, showing health bars and snaps the camera to them if you click on them similar to the squad list.

    I played it when it first released it has changed alot from then. pathfinding use to have no problem there was an update that messed up pathfinding for units and then their was also the problem with the apache not shooting right, don't know if they fixed a bunch of stuff or not I haven't played protocol in a good while after a update messed up stuff. But I still would recommend the game it is a blast and a unique game there isn't many games like this out there from my knowledge. also loved the way you presented the game keep up with the great videos, hope to see more.

    The Mother Of All Bombs absoluetly wrecks buildings. Not sure what Splatt is on about, maybe thermobarics? Bit even then a big pressure wave followed by a big fireball, which sucks in oxygen including from your lungs even if you are hiding in a basement/bunker. Yeah. It still damages buildings. Quite a lot.

    Moab's are massive ordinance air burst. It's a massive concussion munition that destroys just about everything on the surface.

Maybe they dont control where spawn locations occur but rather spawn rate distributions from a global pool with a max rate per spwan point etc? Maybe not.

    Splatter.... A MOAB is a bomb that releases explosive gas to the environment before detonating it and creates the biggest non-nuclear explosion in the US arsenal. You can drop one off the coast and let it suck out the oxygen from the streets, but dropping it directly will cause MASSIVE damage.

    I managed to win this game twice, still have lots of things that is unclear to me. Like…the tip notifications told me to purchase masks for soldiers, yet I didn’t see any. And there’s the evacuation mechanism, it always intrigued me because sometimes civilians are really cooperative, sometimes they don’t…..and I don’t know what the heck caused the inconsistency 😂 Also, the way I played this game is built as many worm interruptors , and make helicopters to fight . The flame throwers of scientists are awesome as well. But it also showed me a problem…sometimes your soldiers can attack enemy buildings, sometimes they can’t….. I would say this game got potential, yet the tutorial has lots of room to improve 😂
    Also, I never sent captain Winter outside of the base, I don’t see the need of taking the risk. I mean, she ain’t that good..

    I remember there used to be a multiplayer RTS/fps where one team played monsters and another played humans, dwarfs and elfs. One player on each team was the commander playing the RTS part the other players played the units in fps mode. I can't remember the name and it's probably dead by now since i played it at least 10 years ago. But if this gets co-op/multiplayer it could potentially became a more advanced player vs com variant of that. Wishlisted it for now but im definitely getting it on sale or when co-op is implemented.

    So, is it impossible for the zombies to cross water after you've blown the bridge?
    Also, dropping a moab would be a great idea, unless you're dealing with The Return Of The Living Dead version of zombies. Cause then you're just gonna cause some acid rain that'll end up spreading the infection to any and all surrounding areas. That's why I love that movie so much. It's so terrifying because there's almost no way to win. No happy ending or even a remotely positive ending lol. It's hopeless and the movie really succeeds at getting that point across. Do you like it? It's in my top 3 favorite horror movies ever alongside the og A Nightmare On Elm Street at #1.
    Anyways, this game seems super cool and it's a very unique take on the RTS genre. With tons of polish and making sure performance gets optimized, this game could really be something special me thinks. Thanks for sharing it again!
