I intend to begin an RTS game and am new to game development, though I’m eager to learn. Based on my small knowledge, UE4 doesn’t seem ideal for strategy titles. Do you have any thoughts or suggestions for a more suitable engine? Thanks to everyone who replies.

It seems like you're excited about the project. Creating a game requires significant knowledge and effort! Good luck!

The recently launched but later withdrawn Generals 2 by Command & Conquer planned to use Frostbite 3. It's unclear whether you'd actually need to purchase it, but it definitely had a great appearance.

Sure, I'll take a look at Unity. It seems like the visuals are quite stylized, which might be why you're feeling that way. I appreciate your honesty about your interests—Computer Science is a solid path, and getting a foundation now could really help.

It seems you're considering Frostbite only through direct involvement with the developers. Since this is my debut project and I'm the sole team member, I don't think I'm strong enough to attract their interest. I do have CryEngine, though, and I'm curious if it could be a better option. I understand it's more challenging to learn, but if it simplifies things later on, it might be worth the effort.

All known titles featuring Frostbite 3 are released by EA, suggesting they don't sell it to external developers.

I've heard about CryEngine. From what I understand, mastering it might require more work, but I'm open to learning if it improves the final product. I already have CryEngine installed.

Choosing Cryengine means considering Lumberyard as a strong alternative. It's free, supports AWS and Twitch, but its documentation feels outdated. For top performance, consider UE4 or Unity instead.

You're on the right track with your original choice—UE4. You've already begun your studies.
