"I like this idea a lot. IMO it is not too far off since it would solve a few things in a nice way (routes, blocking, etc.). Right now our plan is just to bring back strategus like it was before, but within the new website and an improved code base (that is what i'm working on). There were some ideas for e.g. varying movement speed, but nothing specific planned afaik."
