What is a "matchmaking RTS"?

Basically like Company of Heroes, log in and choose 2v2,3v3 etc and it auto-matches you to other players. Ours is a little more indepth that though with the customizing of your units, creating your own companys, equiping all your units, them gaining experience, and it save your rank and units to a server.

We have been working on it for about 2 years now.

When I hear matchmaking I think of a dating service. Might want to use a different term. =P

yeah, the matchmaking term confused me too. What do you have to show for two years of development?

Quite a bit, almost a completely playable game but with the exception that in my own arrogance and stupidity i decided not to back my computer up and it crashed like 3 days before returning from a 15 month deployment to iraq (which is were i spent my 4 days off after 2 weeks out working on the game).
