RTS

before I commit to investing time and energy into Construct, can someone please point me to some RTS games or examples that have been made/are being made using Construct.

I am currently using MMF2 and things are getting pretty sweet, although it is very hard to keep track of all the coding needed.

I have tried to look at the RTS tech demo, but it doesnt work for me so please dont link me to that.

And you have RTS, Rain, Shooter, Driving game demos.

Well, there is a built-in example of the RTS example (non-tech demo I think) just click "New -> From Template" or something like that and then RTS, obviously there is a need to add health bars and etc into the demo, but it shows the ease of using it.

Jayjay's right, have a look at the 'RTS basics' template. That should get you started.
