> Supply Lines: When you built a mining tower on a resource deposit, there was no need to manually build and manage drones to carry the minerals back and forth. Instead, a road was built from your base to the mine. Drones were automatically created when the mine had a full load and sent along the road to your base. Enemies could blast your supply line and interrupt your flow of resources. So protecting fixed supply lines became a bit part of the strategy.
I always hated this mechanic, and loved Total Annihilation's (and Supreme Commander — not 2)'s resource flows, and necessity of regulating resource flows in order not to gridlock an economy.
