Traveling back to Tokyo from Osaka today, I was greeted by the “Twilight Express Mizukaze” , a luxury sleeping car excursion train which tours are unfortunately out of my budget .. but a welcome sight to see.

r/DORFrts is dedicated to the discussion of upcoming 90s inspired real time strategy game D.O.R.F. RealTime Strategic Conflict currently being developed by John Williams, Thomas Christian van Leth, & Gustas Kazukauskas.

As of now this subreddit will function as a place to post and discuss about game speculations, development updates, and news, but will become a bustling community for players to share gameplay and strategies once D.O.R.F. Is released!

Hey everyone! When I started this subreddit a year ago I never thought that it would become such an active community; r/ObscureRTS just reached over 1650 members!

I wanted to thank everyone here for making this place such a wonderful and informative community; I myself have learned a lot about RTS from you all. I look forward to seeing this community continue to grow!

Now that some time has passed and this subreddit has become larger and more active, I have decided to make a few changes to how this sub will operate moving forward.

The first and most important thing I would like to reiterate is Rule 1:

-Be nice and have fun

We’re all here to learn and share about Obscure RTS games, so have fun and don't be jerks to each other.
There will sometimes be differing opinions so please be mindful that debates and constructive criticism are fine while arguments and disrespectful criticism are not. Personal attacks on other members are never acceptable.

The second thing I would like to address is the topic of “Obscurity”. There have been debates on whether a title is considered obscure or not obscure.. rather than “is or isn’t” debates I would urge users to consider referring to the RTS Obscurity Scale which I introduced earlier this month. This scale which ranges from Tiers 0-6 will hopefully help to encourage more meaningful debate; games that were very well known for their time may seem much more obscure to newer players today... Remember games like Total Annihilation are almost 30 years old!

If you have a more mainstream game (Tier 0 on the obscurity scale) that you wish to post about, I will allow it only on Mondays under the post flair “Mainstream Monday”.

“Mainstream Monday” does not allow for promoting your own personal projects, as that violates Rule 4.

The third issue I will touch on is what is considered appropriate content for this subreddit.

Posts should be focused on Obscure Real Time
Strategy Games. While it is generally agreed that games require three important characteristics (Resource Gathering, Base Building/Unit Production, Control of multiple units in real time) to be considered true RTS, we will be taking a broader approach to the genre as even companies may label their game as an RTS even though it lacks one or even two of these characteristics.

The characteristics that all games posted should have is that they allow for the control of multiple units in real time, and that combat is involved. Real Time Tactics is allowed to be posted in this community as well as certain city builders and 4X titles so long as they include combat and the ability to control multiple units in real time. Be sure to mention or flair that a title is a city builder or RTT.

Strategy genres that will be excluded and removed include 4X lacking RTS, Turn Based Strategy, RPG, Grand Strategy, and MOBA.

In addition to these clarifications I have also added a couple of new rules:

-Avoid Low Effort Content
Low quality memes, poorly done photoshop/ drawings, and Al generated content will be removed.

-Avoid Recent Reposts
Recent reposts within 1 month with no substantial additions will be removed.

Again thank you all for making this such a great community and please feel free to propose any alterations to what I have stated above or suggestions for things that you would like to see or not see moving forward!
