Zero-K has flow expenditure, like TA and C&C, and much has been done to make it forgiving and easy to use, since Zero-K is about strategy, not about micromanaging your base.

Very nice! I particularly like the diagram of economy demand, it's a great explanation and I think should probably be on a loading screen.

I had no idea about the alt-click reserve thing, I'll have to start using it.
Also, you said certain buildings like mexes could be set to always be built with high priority. How do I do that?

To make a building high priority, open the information window. That's generay by holding space and left clicking the portrait or the unit on the field. Then there's a "customise settings" button somewhere in the top right area, which is a shortcut to the unit's default states menu. The priority slider has 3 or 4 ticks, hovering should tell you what they are, and you need to switch the nanoframe priority from normal to high, which should then save across future games.

This is not entirely realistic though, since the only game I know of with this system Warlords Battlecry, and as a fantasy game it lacks tanks.

Supreme Commander 2 does in fact do what you're talking about here. (Never played the game, but have watched some videos.) And I remember reading a while ago about how the change from a flow economy to upfront payments meant that the Experimentals had to be nerfed.
