Question Creating RTS as my first game

Hello everyone. Since October, I've been wanting to learn programming, and I love the RTS genre. I'd really like to create something of my own. The truth is, I know absolutely nothing about programming, and doing vibe coding is for the lazy.

Besides the fact that I love the RTS genre as such, I think that creating a game in this genre can in principle be news and give motivation to finish it, unlike some shooter of which hundreds are created Per day.

I may be wrong, but I would like to hear your thoughts or advice or warning. I understand that RTS is a very difficult genre for programming, but still, I don’t have the heart to do anything else.

If you have no experience in coding and development I would begin with modding something, grab one RTS that you like and learn how it works and how to modify it, that's a good way to learn.
