This is fantastic! I could never imagine someone could pull of an RTS in a weekly game jam! 

Amazing! First of, love the oregano as a resource. Second, the moment the first map was loaded and I saw the units waiting for instructions and the fog of war it reminded me of the first Warcraft game that run in DOS... 

... and when I sent a tank to explore using the minimap... and it actually went to explore... and then I glanced on the commands: Explore and  Search and destroy... congratulations! This is amazing! I have no idea how you pulled this of! Like, how? 
Is there a tutorial that helped you or anything you can recommend?

EDIT: Smart usage of all the Wildcards there :D Respect!

Oh god, thank you for so many kind words!

Acutally i got 99% of my inspiration from Dune 2, which is more or less the grandfather of all modern RTS. (There are several open source remakes) I was highly addicted to the game when i was a child...

 I have not used any tutorials. Infact i had no time for this. i just finished it 20:30 :x
The only thing i looked up on the internet was a mathematical function to get coordinats in an rectagular spiral from an integer. thats how the harvesters search for oregano without killing the FPS...

You can download the project folder if you are curious on how i made specific things. But beware, its a mess... Its still my first RTS, and i made alot of mistakes in the ground-structure.... next time i'll be wiser xD

If you have any questions on how i have done stuff, feel free to ask :)

And how...
Well... i worked every free minute on it and slept not enough... *cough*
Now i'm completly done xD But this makes me even more happy that you like it. It really means alot to me.

Its amazing! Not used any tutorials??? What have you worked with in the past if you can make an RTS IN A WEEK without any guidance???

Have a good rest! I will be applauding *silently* while you sleep

I'm not the big tutorial-guy... i like to figure out stuff myself. of course it often helps to see how other people code their stuff, but i learn much more, when i find my own path. and then trash it, because its shit. and find a nother solution. and again and again xD

btw, i still consider myself as a beginner... or better something between beginner and "knows more or less what he does"
