A campaign idea, a grand RTS one.

Premise

"There is nothing but weakness and pestilence in flesh.
You cling to the stolen flesh, as if it will not decay and fail you.
There is no point of resistance, for you is pathetic.
Only The Progress matters, for technology is gift of The-God-Machine.
Morals and ethics shall be forgotten, for they impede Progress.
You have no choice, for only The-God-Machine can choose.
Bow before The Church, or The Angels Of Machine will come for your souls."

– The Cult Officer

You're playing as commander of man-hating machines - in world where mechanical eldrich horrors, even more horrifying and powerful than you, start to inevitably rise. For when The Great Mechanism awakens, all shall bow to The God-Machine.

Player characters are commanders of "dark electronics"-type man-hunting machines; think Matrix for inspiration, only capsules contain microbes instead of humans. Rational, emotionless, borderline-soulless and technologically advanced, they wiped out most of Humanity long ago and live on ruined Earth, their factory-cities powered by bio-energy from microbial bio-reactors.

Only then, everything start deteriorating rather rapidly.
