I think it’s great that you’re contributing content to the open community. Thanks!

That being said, Unreal Engine is by default a very poor match for a real-time strategy game that will have lots of units.
The reason is that the Unreal simulation engine is not deterministic, so each separate unit has to be separately replicated to all other players.
Meanwhile, the mechanism that is typically used for real-time strategy games is to send only the user input commands to all other players, and use a deterministic simulation engine to make sure that everyone sees the same thing.
That way, you can have a thousand units per player, and still keep the network bandwidth needs small.

Wow ! You threw a bucket of cold water on my wargame dreams in UE4! I plan to develop a game with 1000s of soldier units in UE4.

Could you elaborate a bit on the deterministic simulation engine with reference to network replication?
