More like someone in marketing said "turn-based is dead, this needs to be real time" half way through development.

Never. Old Blizzard was amazing and innovative. Lost Vikings, Rock and Roll Racing, this game. It wasn't until Warcraft 2 and Diablo 2 when Blizzard found their current M.O. of taking a generic game and just polishing the poo poo out of it and stopped really innovating.

Yes, there was no groundbreaking game after Warcraft 2, one that set the standard for having different factions in strategy games. Starcraft never happened!

Dune 2 was the first RTS and had three different factions with unique units.

So..."-100% damage" doesn't actually mean what I'm just assuming it means, right?
