(For those who do not know what Half Life 2 Wars is, I added a video link showcasing what it is)

I just wanted to voice my opinion out before it got lost in time. Here's how I would imagine it:

Earth Ponies - One of the first and most basic units you can acquire. They are cheap to produce and strong in numbers. They are also the villagers, for they are the only ones that forage for food, build structures, and gather other resources. And just like in the RTS Rise of Nations, Earth Ponies can also act as scholars. The more scholars there are in a university, the more knowledge points you gain. With those knowledge points, you can buy upgrades and/or helpful stuff (Ex. Weather Patrol: Pegasus Ponies know have better control over the weather. Crops grow 15% faster)

Pegasi - The second units you can acquire in game. They are fast and can attack with great swiftness and ease. They are about as expensive as Earth Ponies, maybe a little cheaper because they are also weak. They are much more perfect for scouting and distracting. They can also pick up units the same size as them (Like other Earth Ponies, but not bigger stuff, like catapults and what not) So that their travel time is nearly cut in half. Just be warned, for when in this state, both are pretty vulnerable to attacks.

Unicorns - The third type of unit you can get. Unicorns are expensive, but they are worth it. They are extremely good at combat and can use their magic to help their team. (Ex. Just like in that RTS Rise of Nations, unicorns can act as Spies and sneak into enemy territory under the radar)

Alicorns - The final units you can get. They are EXPENSIVE, but they are truly worth it. Imagine Alicorns as the Titans from Age of Mythology. They are strong and powerful, and the only thing that can stop an Alicorn is either a HUGE army with a lot of luck, or another Alicorn. Alicorns can also speed up production within a certain area around him/her. (Ex. If there are any barracks within a certain distance of an Alicorn, their production and research is increased ten fold.)

Specials - Specials are like the Heroes in Age of Mythology. They can be done as soon as their age has been unlocked, but they are pretty exspensive. A little more than a unicorn, but a little less than an Alicorn. They can either be Earth Ponies, Pegasi, or Unicorns. Their powers surpass those of their own kind. For example, a Special Unicorn has stronger magic and a wider attack range. OR they can be the Mane Cast. For example, when units surround Pinkie Pie, their morale grows and their fighting abilities are higher.

The Ages.

Age I: Earth Ponies. The first age. You can only command the most basic of Earth Pony armies.
Age II: Pegasi Ponies. The second age. You now have Pegasus Ponies to command. You now have more Earth Pony units to chose from.
Age III: Unicorn Ponies. The third age. You now have Unicorn Ponies to command. You now have more Earth and Pegasus Pony units to chose from.
Age IV: Alicorn Ponies. The final age. You now have Alicorn Ponies to command. You now have more Earth, Pegasus, and Unicorn Pony units to chose from.

As for the single player campaign, I dunno, I GUESS we could have that epic battle between Princess Celestia and Nightmare Moon depicted in the first episode's book.

Look, it's not a PERFECT plan, but I just wanted yo voice my opinion out. It still needs A LOT of tweaks here and there, and I have NO experience in modding, so I can't take this project off the ground, but maybe you can. And if this DOES become a reality, I will literally SHIT rainbooms.

Interesting idea. We haven't had a RTS yet.
