Such as the berserker, corpser, bloodmount and leviathan. ThereвЂ™s a few vehicles from the Locust that could arguably be troops as well. Although again, the Locust are more equipped so it would require more work on the CoG side.ДЇor the CoG thereвЂ™s ratbikes and packhorses from the books, centaurs, rat trucks equipped with vulcans (or whatever they were in Gears of War 3 when leaving Anvil Gate), grindlifts, APCs, silverbacks, junkers, ravens and submarines.

Much like troops, Gears of War has just the right amount of vehicles. Rather than being able to storm the enemy base with 50 MyrrahвЂ™s. Raam can all on the kryll, Skorge can cut through centaurs or call his giant reaver, Myrrah can call her big bug. They could even increase the morale of surrounding units, which in turn would boost their damage. These units would obviously be more powerful than your standard unit. Like Raam, Skorge, Myrrah, Hoffman, Tai, Dizzy, or any member of Delta Squad. These types of troopers would be important characters throughout the games.

Each of these troops has their typical RTS troop purpose. You could simply equip gears with boomshields but that would feel lazy. I think to even the score they would need to make up some new things for the CoG. However this will be necessary for this idea as the Locust have far more variety. Go all Halo Wars about it and create new units that were never in the original games. Admittedly, whoever was to develop this one might have to invent some new ones. Not quite as much as the Locust but still enough to fight back. Lancer, sawn off, longshot, mortar, mulcher, oneshot, flamethrower and vulcan. So rather than troop-types, letвЂ™s list them by guns. Maybe bigger sets of armour to make them stand out from other troops too. You have your regular Gears, but equipped with different weapons. With not quite as many troops but still a sufficient amount. In the blue corner we have the Coalition of Ordered Governments. Maybe some Boomers at the back being a nuisance. Then have them followed by Maulers shielding the drones with a Kantus somewhere in the middle, healing fallen drones. You could lead your infantry charge with Wretches and Tickers. There are still plenty more, but as the Locust use living things as their vehicles weвЂ™ll talk about those in a bit. Coming out of their barracks we have Wretches, Tickers, Serapedes, Drones, Grenadiers, Snipers, Boomers, Butchers, Grinders, Kantus'(regular and armoured), Theron Guards and Maulers. But as the games go on thereвЂ™s even more that probably could add up to way above the average thatвЂ™s in your typical RTS. IвЂ™ll spend more time thinking about it when Epic or The Coalition call me up.ДЇrom the first Gears of War alone there are plenty of troops anyway. For now, weвЂ™ll keep it simple and focus on the CoG and the Locust. And it could be fodder for a sequel to a Gears RTS foray. We havenвЂ™t jumped too much into that timeline yet, to be honest. But I think for this proposed game, IвЂ™m not going to include Gears 4. There are a lot of possibilities right there, even more so if youвЂ™ve read the books. All of these extra factions could make for a very interesting campaign, and certainly be a boon to varying online matches for multiplayer fans.В You could even go before and use the UIR if you wanted to- howвЂ™s that for mining the lore? Hell, maybe even the Stranded could be a part of things.

The human CoG and Outsiders, Locust, Lambent, and the hideous Swarm should really all be in there. If you want to add Gears of War 4 to the mix then there could be 5 factions total for a Gears strategy title. A Gears-flavored one however, I think could truly be something special.ДЄs a franchise, Gears of War has the factions, troops, special troops, vehicles (land, sea and air) and even super weapons, to make an RTS feast. The furthest IвЂ™ve jumped in is spending a lot of my gaming years playing Command and Conquer and IвЂ™ve not really ventured further out of that.Д®very other RTS IвЂ™ve played has been overly complicated (yes, IвЂ™m a simpleton) or just plain bad. Gears of War already has everything an RTS needs.ДЄlthough thereвЂ™s not as big of an audience for real-time strategy games as shooters of any type, I feel this one would do really rather well.ДЄdmittedly IвЂ™m not a huge presence on the RTS scene as a gamer. Personally, I have no idea how this game has not been made yet.
