Not excited for tencent, but the idea of an rts that de-emphasizes APM sounds really intriguing to me.

Age of Empires 2 is heading that direction right now. Patch after patch. Also one of the few games where the APM isn't the deciding factor even at the top.

That's AoE4 already if you ask me

AoE4 feels like a game from 2000 though.

I'd argue that's what Cannon Brawl and Tooth and Tail already did.
