Of all the post-Starcraft 2 years to choose, this is among the worst to claim "RTS is dead."

Speaking of RTS games, apparently Total War: Warhammer 2 is out next month! The first one only released last November, leaving a less than one year gap between entries. Guess it did well to warrant such a quick sequel.
