Agreed. I gulped on seeing the progress bar sticking at "Infinity%" (that's a while, whatever the units) but overall it took about 2 minutes on my MBP 2014.

These games-as-HTML5-pages really have to cushion the how 'loading..' resources issue somehow. We should bring back loading screens perhaps?

Note: That's not a knock on this proof of concept, it looks great.

I know about the infinity progress bar issue in Chrome, but haven't debugged it yet. See https://github.com/emnh/rts/issues/2 .

I reduced the unit count per unit type from 20 to 5. Please try again now.
