RTS Game Development Concepts

The video provides an overview of creating an RTS game using Unity and DOTS, focusing on mechanics like unit selection, pathfinding, fog of war, and resource management. It also covers advanced topics such as AI and performance optimization, using the game 'They Are Billions' as a reference. The instructor discusses the importance of efficient coding and introduces an upcoming course on Unity DOTS.
