Any comabt if you did run a RTS game would need to be more complicated than most ones I've seen.  You'd be fighting in an urban environment, mainly, so entrances and exits and things would play a large part in your strategy when ambushing your enemies, etc.  Plus, making sure your adepts and avatars don't break taboo would affect strategy, etc.  I wonder what the non-combat strategy would consist of, either investigation or daily life (kinda like the Sinms, then), most likely.

Mr. Teapot
and infomancer characters have the power to change how the game itself works... then again
