But I can't figure out if units have an upkeep cost of both resources and population slots or just population slots. Also, the resource patches and asteroids look too similar. The whole resource collecting is kinda confusing - I can't tell if my gatherers need to be positioned differently to gather more efficiently or if resource patches start to yield less - I would love some more detail on how to effectively obtain resources. Also, is it possibly to have a group of ships focus fire on one enemy? I haven't been able to figure that out, even though the enemy AI does it to me up the wazoo. Is it possible for me to target an attack on an individual ship, or can I only sort of clump ships near the target and let my units micro for themselves? Huh? Overall, I'm loving this game. Highly recommend if you're a fan of the genre. Okay, I am freaking loving this game.

Though I'm not sure how to even compare all of my own games to each other - BA was very different from BD, and RC will be even more of a departure. One thing is for sure, Red Conquest is much larger than either of my previous games, and it will only get larger as I add more story arcs to the campaign mode! But yeah, I just keep making the games that I want to play, so if you liked the first two, you'll probably like this one. :) for rts fans, I think I've created something very interesting on the iPhone - it's not exactly like the other rts app store offerings, which seem to be direct copies of the existing PC style of rts games. So if you're an rts fan with an iPhone, I think you'll be intrigued by the gameplay mehanics iv set up in red conquest. :) @spiffyone thank you!

Blue Attack! is still one of the best games on this platform, and that's saying a lot. Hopefully this one is as good, but even half as good would be better than most. Looking forward to this one.
