So I was thinking.
Points, everybody gets X metal and X energy. Everything is given a different costs, like Krogs=500M500E and PeeWee=1M1E and everything else falls between. No resources collectors, units don't draw energy to do anything.
So if you had 3000M3000E points, you could use 100M100E for a kbot lab, 10M for a construction Kbot, 200M100E for adv Kbot lab, 20M for adv contruction veicle, then 300M100E for the krogoth gantry, then 500M500E for the krogoth, then you've used 1130M800E, to get your first krogoth, but then you can build 4 more of them... and it's zero build time. also, all this is happening during a game force truce and your basically setting up a base and an army until until everyone has used all their points.
Basic Idea is that the game is about choosing the right army before hand and then being carefull to preservethe units you do have long enough to finish off your enemies.

This would be possible in OTA with a very quick-and-dirty mutator:
Make it set all metal and energy production from units to 0, make all units take up 0 energy and 0 metal when moving and/or firing. Make all construction units unable to reclaim.
Start off with the appropriate amount of metal and energy for your game, and walaa.

Sounds like a game mode popular with OTA.
I believe it's called "Crazy TA". You start with 10k/10k resources, on a metal map, but a unit limit of 20. Usually with 5 or so players. It can be quite fun.
Never play with a gnug though. Without millions of units to think about, they are able to completely micromanage the 20 they have. It is very, very scary.
