Sure, it's simple so the depth it has been explored is incredible compared to SC, but that doesn't make it a deeper game. If that were the case, then any game in the Age of Empires series would have a lot more depth than Starcraft, and as such probably the one game in the genre that would be the most appealing to the competitive RTS scene. However, complexity of base rules isn't directly proportional to the depth of the game. Less is often times more. Even though there are technically more variables, most of the rules are very straightforward and there's a very small and limited set of meaningful actions a player can take during a game compared to chess. Likewise, there are only several meaningful locations on any given map and paths to those locations. | ||

If you are going to throw random crap like that around atleast provide a link to where you get this information. -_- I don't care if this is true or not I just want a link because this sounds like there should be an interesting article to read out there. | ||

It's only true because a chess game can literally go on forever. So the amount of games is infinite. Realistic games that someone would actually play and not involve people running in circles forever with pieces and it's nowhere near true. | ||

It's only true because a chess game can literally go on forever. So the amount of games is infinite. Realistic games that someone would actually play and not involve people running in circles forever with pieces and it's nowhere near true. Chess games can't go on forever, and the amount of possible games is not infinite. They are limited by two important moves, the three-move repetition rule, and the fifty move rule (the fifty move rule is very much like a chess equivalent of the conditions for a drawn game in sc2). "The number of legal positions in chess is estimated to be between 10^43 and 10^47 (a provable upper bound), with a game-tree complexity of approximately 10^123. The game-tree complexity of chess was first calculated by Claude Shannon as 10^120, a number known as the Shannon number. Typically an average position has thirty to forty possible moves, but there may be as few as zero (in the case of checkmate or stalemate) or as many as 218." (from wikipedia). | ||
