Hello all !!
I started this topic an year ago into spring rts forums and now I think that things are now mature to push the two communities to help each other to give the birth of a brand new genere

VN/RTS hybrids aren't a new idea:

1. RenPy is not really good with anything real time. It's may be doable but it's very hard. IMO, you'd better program it from scratch rather than using RenPy... or use Game Maker.
2. VN/RTS is not something "brand new genre". Many people already did that.
3. Advance Wars is not RTS. It's TBS (Turn Based Strategy).
TBS = Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy Tactics, Sakura Taisen
RTS = C&C, Starcraft, Warcraft
Wait, do you make a typo or you do mean a game titled "Advanced War"? Never hear it though...
4. Hey, it's cool anyway. It would be awesome if you do make the game

I like both RTS and TBS as player, but as developer I'd prefer to do a TBS (since is also easier

). I think a TBS combined with VN gameplay would be very cool to play!

AxemRed: I didn't know
But for sure there is nothing open source on this genere !!!
Or I'm wrong again ?
LVUER: I made a typo

I'm working on a VN with strong TBS/RPG elements, a bit like X-Com in that area.
Overall I think RTS is a poor choice but most other things should work. What you want is this thing:

If you can write your own code too that obviously helps.

Okay, I'm impressed. I'll have to keep this in mind for a future project.
