The idea behind RTS Quake is to add the resource gathering and unit upgrading concepts found in games like Warcraft to Quake 3 CTF. Instead of all of the players on both teams being fighters, some members of each team are weak laborers whose job it is to collect money, bring it back to a collection point, and build and repair buildings. The combat portion of the team begins as simple fighters with short range weapons, but more options become available as the workers gather more money. Team communication is important, so that the workers know what upgrade goal(s) the team is working toward next. As the game progresses, each team will have different capabilities based on which upgrades their workers have made.
