Source Engine as a Turn Based Strategy Game Engine?

[Fireyone]

Alright, I've had this idea floating around in my head for awhile now. Ever since I played the Half Life 2 RTS Mod to see what it was like I got curious and have been wondering, is it possible to mod the Source Engine to make it function like a Turn Based Strategy game?

I'm no coder, but this has been a curiosity of mine for awhile, as I've had this idea for a TBS Game in Source.

You can do anything in Source SDK! Well, short of conquering the World, of course.

Yes, that is the mod I'm referring to.

Nuclear Dawn is a source GAME that's coming out in October and it's a RTS-FPS hybrid.

Well, that sounds fun, but I was thinking more like a Turn Based Strategy RPG type deal, like Fire Emblem.

That nuclear dawn game reminds me of the source mods on steam, I'll play it for a few days then it'll just rot there till I format or something.

Nuclear Dawn started development before Empires. Then stopped.

Then picked up again.

And another FPS-RTS hybrid was released even before that.

Whoa, the last time I heard about that mod was years ago.
Never new they released a singleplayer beta either.

The Antlions remind me of Zerg.

I played 0.3 a while back. Got my arse kicked repeatedly, even the tutorial level.

I'm pretty sure you could use source purely as a graphics and physics engine.

Since you obviously can mod it to make a RTS, it's fairly safe to assume a RTS is possible too.

Battlezone 1 & 2 are RPS-FPS hybrids, really fun

I suppose it could work. Execution, among other things, would be key.
