.. And if I don't have the interest to finish it how much interest will others have to play it? ...

this logic fails for me. i wasnt interested in making dinner yesterday. though everyone else was interested in eating it

as far as rts games are difficult to make:
kind of. they are code heavy. you said you fail to have some relyable coder?! so you are missing the most important part of it. seeing it from this point an rts to make will be very tricky for you.

on the other hand are rts games computer friendly and offer lots of optimization possibilities (like no other genre with that scale)

every thought of a heros of might and magic like rts? its kind of strategy but way much easier then rome or cīn c

maybe an option

cheers
