I agree with the 16x16 idea but how are you going to fit 100 units on the screen at once?

This is indeed for ARMY.
I am trying to figure out the best size for 100 units on the screen.
7x7 works mathematically.
But, detail is horrible...

16x9 with an overlay of 5 pixels works... I think.

EDIT: Never mind. That's horrible.
It doesn't work when you think of the coding involved...

LOL.

I lost nothing.

I had no programs at the time.

EDIT: I was rushing this morning. Rewrote to sound nicer.

I am trying to find a decent sprite size for ARMY.
I need to fit 100 units on a screen while still being able to distinguish between units...

Suggestions?

Krolypto v1.4 installed.
Activated password-protected startup.
Turned off calc.
Plugged in USB cord.
Turned on calc.
Forgot about password-protected startup.
Tried transferring a file.
Failed.

RESULT:
Only thing that responds is the [ON] key.
Battery pull doesn't work.
Can't seem to get the backup battery out.

The units will be able to move... but in the far future.
I'm just trying to get the gameplay engine down.
It will not be tile-based when they do.
The battlefield will be the entirety of the calc screen until I put movement in.
The maximum units you can deploy is 50. (The calc can only take so much abuse.)

Hope that answered everything...

I dunno why permadeath was sticking with me this time.
Usually, I'm all for the reviving thing...

But, spending funds on more units seemed for feasible for an RTS.

As for enemy staying dead, do you mean a dead sprite will remain there and that the enemy won't dissapear?

No.
I mean that, when your opponent kills your unit, that unit is dead.
Even after the battle is over.
No revivals.

Permadeath FTW.

EDIT: I am also thinking about making the sprite smaller (6x6, maybe?). I will need to animate these things on top of fitting 100 units on the screen at once.
