I love solving problems; even if there is none, I pretend I'm solving one anyway.

OK, I'm getting mixed signals here... This answer has been downvoted 3 times and upvoted 3 times... Time to make some changes in my answer...

comment Object updates, internal vs external?
The most voted answer in this question starts "There is no simple answer. As with most things in programming, it's a trade off." The second link provides one of many solutions. In fact, it advocates the exact opposite of that answer. Maybe I should edit my answer to make it more clear. But then again, maybe this won't change the negative votes :P

The second link provides an extensive tutorial of why the behavior of game entities should be externalized to Entity Systems. Artemis follows the exact same architecture.

I haven't played a video myself, but according to this: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb417503.aspx#ID4EIFAC XNA 4.0 supports video playback. A quick search revealed that video playback started at 3.1: google.com/search?q=xna video playback

I'm not sure what you are asking, but, can't you draw a polygon on top of an entity image with MS Paint?

comment Free AAA RTS engine SDK?
Yes, it is for creating AI clients. The OP didn't say anything about changing in-game behavior of units.

Plus, Stratagus and the likes may be good, but they are nowhere near AAA. :/

comment Ergonomics studies on choosing keys on a keyboard?
+1 Although I'm pretty sure that keys 0-9 are used mainly in MMOs where the keys around ESDF (or ASD) are already utilized by other commands. Otherwise I don't see why to use them. Especially when you need to press them quickly.

comment Going from using XMLSerializer to using the XNA Content Pipeline
So, basically, continue what I'm doing and, before release, create a Content Pipeline Extension that will create the xnb files from my XML?

I hope that's not true, because I might not convert it if it's not worth it. :/
