Ashes of the Singularity is a real-time strategy game set in the far future that redefines the possibilities of RTS with the unbelievable scale provided by Oxide Games’ groundbreaking Nitrous engine.
What is the Singularity?
The Singularity is a theory of the future development of humans and AI, popularized by futurist Ray Kurzweil. As our minds become increasingly augmented by artificial enhancements, there will come a point where the un-augmented human brain can no longer comprehend the advancements being made.
What makes Ashes of the Singularity different from other RTS games?
Until now, terrestrial strategy games have had to substantially limit the number of units on screen. As a result, these RTS's could be described as battles.
Thanks to recent technological improvements such as multi-core processors and 64-bit computing combined with the invention of a new type of 3D engine called Nitrous, Ashes of the Singularity games can be described as a war across an entire world without abstraction. Thousands or even tens of thousands of individual actors can engage in dozens of battles simultaneously.

They say they want to appeal to them but at the same time they do not want to show icons on units when you zoom out because they want to force people to baby sit their units from close view. They also plan active abilities that players have to activate by hand. All that while they say they don't want apm and micro to matter.
Weird contradictions. We'll see how it turns out but I am very skeptical they'll capture what the hard core of SupCom players wants.
3/5 concept, as misguided as every RTS announced since PA, and massively inferior.
