Dune 2 Camera / Pathfinding / Base Building

Hi im Simon ive been working with the Torque Game Engine on and off since January 2005, I have just bought the RTS pack and I feel the only way to make a simple RTS game is to go for a Dune 2 clone with the overhead camera and basic pathfinding / base building... This is all well and good but how do I implement these I mean it cant be too difficult as I only need a basic (grid-type) pathfinding system and a basic (construction yard building) anyone have ideas on where I should start... I cant just script this I have to compile the RTS pack right? I probably sound really dumb but any advice will help... Anyone who doesnt know Dune 2 it was the first RTS game for the PC / DOS... I still have my faithful CD-ROM version which runs in DosBOX the emulator...

It's actually all script, so you can do quite a bit with it! Just follow the directions very closely, and make sure to delete all of your .dso files (the over-write will be from timestamps in the past, so won't work as expected until you delete them all).
