And yet, the enemy Panzer IV stops exactly 1 meter before your trap. It rotates its turret, fires directly at your hidden gun, and reverses away unscathed.
No reconnaissance unit went near you. No flares went up. You just got "MapHacked."
You watch a vehicle drive down a road. It suddenly swerves into a field, drives around an invisible obstacle, and rejoins the road. Later, the replay shows that you had a mine in the exact spot they swerved around. They didn't have a sweeper.
You move your mortar team to a random, non-strategic corner of the map that has no resource value. Within 10 seconds, an off-map artillery strike lands directly on their heads. There were no scouts nearby. This isn't RNG; it’s ESP (Extra Sensory Perception).

You turn a brilliant RTS into a boring point-and-click spreadsheet.
