Every developer out there not doing this in their fantasy RPG needs to get their shit together

If you don't budget for animations for the little gauntlet when the cursor is idle for a little bit just pack it up and go home, this one's not coming together.

Starcraft 2

There was even an oversight on release that would sometimes change your cursor on loading screen so if you chose random you could know which faction you rolled by the cursor

Fair enough. Has any game done this for the last 15 years?

Have any RTS games with multiple factions come out in the past 15 years?

Other than grey goo

Company of heroes 2 and 3, halo wars 2, dawn of war 2 and 3 (And soon 4), total war warhammer (Also others, but I would grant you that maybe Cao Cao and Liu Bei don't necessarily need different cursors), Age of Empires 4, the Age of Empires re-releases, Battlefleet Gothic 1 and 2, probably others.
