TGB will allow you to create a 2D RTS like Warcraft II.
TGE will allow you to create a 3D RTS like Warcraft III.
TGE is more complex and you need some C++ skill to do anything other the FPS games.
TGE has an RTS Starter Kit that helps you make RTS games.
2D Art takes less time to make.
3D Art is harder to make.

The tower can be found in the demo/data/interiors/tower directory and the elf can be found in the demo/data/shapes/tge_elf directory.

TorqueScript is based off of C so if you have some skill in C programming then programming with TorqueScript will be a cake. If not the examples within the SDK, forums, and even IRC has a wealth of knowledge and can help you out when you need it.

Daniel is a bit mistaken. TGE is very powerful with its TorqueScript and can do pretty much anything. In my journeys with TGE I have found that most things I change code wise are for backend things. ODBC for SQL support, Faction System, and Camera modifications are things that require code changes but everything else is TorqueScript.TorqueScript is based off of C so if you have some skill in C programming then programming with TorqueScript will be a cake.

but it's my impression that certain things like characters swimming, and crawling, crouching, etc. also require engine mods. It's pretty easy to do play animation threads with scripting, but to swim, etc. you need engine mods. am i wrong?
