Strategy game idea: Counter Strike turned into RTS/RTT, No tank, no aircraft, no building Options

Although this look like more of a real time tactic than a real time strategy but my idea based on Company of Hero formula but with some major change.

-No vehicle, no aircraft, no production structure.

-You still have to capture some designed room/building and it will generate money for you to produce your unit. And since each location got a limited amount of money you can never turtle and or stay in one place and you must attack and capture constantly or you will lose the economic advantage to the enemy.

-Instead of producing unit now you will have to drop your unit into the rooftop of a building by helicopter or use the underground tunnel/sewer to get your troop out. Basically it is a way of using instant drop anywhere on your controlled area.

-The depth of the combat lies on the terrain and the environment of the combat. Because this idea rely purely on urban combat so you can expect your troop to fight inside room or sniping through the other building or you can even let your troop sneak through an underground network to cause a surprise attack on the enemy. In addition to that cover and positioning is the main point of this game, you have to place your army correctly considering your army never exceed 30 soldiers as this allow you to micro your army much easier instead of throwing your army into the wrench, and with the squad based system (3-5 soldiers per squad) you would got even less soldier to control as you will always control groups of soldier instead of individual one.

Factions and setting idea: I didn't think of this much but so far it is very simple, you got 2 sides: the government army (Powerhouse) and separatist (Subversive).

The separatist rely on bobby trap to ambush the enemy and underground network to product their army. They also got sniper as a way to balance out their weak frontal combat capability as their weapon is outdated and lack a strong firepower like their enemy.

The government army use heavy firepower to win the frontal combat, they also got a combat shield that absorb a limited amount of damage or a portable ram to break door.
