youtube.com/watch?v=8U2AWYNYY1c>tfw the only game to try something like this again was company of heroes 2 and the mechanic hasn't been used since the game launched

The only correct way to play C&C is to enter FFA or Teamgame and engie rush enemies one by one.

I looked into zero-k and noticed there is a ton of different units. In most RTS I feel like there are already units that are never used. Is this as bloated as it looks?

>>514324437>>514323295I really don't like the notion of new factions as corporations.

>>514325224if DoW2 had kill animations like this, it would have been the greatest game ever.

>>514325482Yes and no. The issue is the game has terrible AI, nearly C&C terrible AI. End eras become races to dropping nukes on capitals (yes they try to 'balance' it with nuclear winter but it doesn't work). Also, if you do Take Over The World Campaign, you always pick the factions that have the best end game units because that's eventually where you get stuck. So Germany is king by and large. Tiger Rank, MG42's, Stormtroopers. USA has a few good ones too. UK has Wellingtons and Black Watch which is alright.

>>514326302the problem with them is that they are either overpowered, complete shit or bothlocking a unit into one of those animations means that you either make it invincible during it or you don't, if it is invincible then you can just abuse it to make shitty high damage low hp units soak a lot of damage just by locking them into animations, and if you don't your units get shafted whenever they get locked into onelook at the avatar of khaine in dow, it was garbage when it came to combat because it couldn't kill a squad of guardsmen without extreme micromanagement since it would get locked into animations for almost every enemy model

>>514320282Agreed.>>514324650It's boring, faggot. No amount of flavor of the month words you use will change the fact that it feels and looks like controlling tiny ants doing irrelevant fucking shit.

>>514327314based

>>514327205Structurally it is much better than Steel Division. Modern combat is a snorefest though.>Guys shooting missiles at each other from five billion miles away>Virtually indistinguishable infraty except for muh manpads>500 vehicles, planes and helis but only 12 are good

>>514326270Me neither, but I'm willing to give it a pass on that because the mod is that good. Corporations were still a thing around TD's time, so it's plausible that one of them would help GDI in the alternate world where they lost to Nod. Still sounds silly though, it's more like a Red Alert thing than something that would happen in the Tiberian universe, honestly wish they would change this 'help' they got to something else than a stupidass huge megacorp.

Despite what the previous posters in this thread say, I am seriously considering Steel Divison 2.It's between this and HoI4, and SD looks like it has a lot more WW2 unit autismo,

>>514317635Man TS/FS are so fucking SOULFULL

>>514329454It does have tons of units but you need to control 20+ at any given time. You'll never be able to zoom in and appreciate the unit animations and the ranges involved are so huge you'll probably never even see what killed your fancy tank or even see it dying. Infantry look like they came out of a PS1 game too.

Please someone give me one for this feel, RTS noob here. I like undead in WC3 and Dark Crusade.

Is homeworld: Dune any good?

>>514330259Yes.

>>514327205It's alright if you like the fact that it's more of an actual war game than a RTS.

>>514329280well, you don't really have much options if you want to do a what if GDI lost the war, what other choice do you have?, mutants?, super secret society?, ayylmaos?i can't really thing of anything else that fits without switching GDI and NOD playstyles which would basically just turn it into a namechange and nothing else

>>514330958I like it a lot. It's amateurish in some ways but I enjoyed playing the campaign and doing skirmishes.

>>514330747i mean why not just let them do the same thing that Nod did after they lost the war? Just cut their loses, go back to US to regroup, recruit people that hate Nod and when the time is right start doing guerilla warfare. Nod only has Euroasia and Africa, they don't have both American continents and the US populance would be much more sympathetic to the GDI cause, their situation isn't that bleak for a mere corporation to be their sole salvation.

Is Spellforce 3 any good

>>514331901Would be like Red Alert where the allies are the more subtle approach while soviets are brute force.

Do RTS games really need a billion factions? The more factions an RTS game has, generally the worse the balance is. Warcraft 3 was a mess of balance as they tried to make 4 races play differently and still be balanced.

>>514321432The Brits were a faction for faggots. Vanilla CoH had a perfect dynamic with the OG Wehr and Americans around territory control and microing your units. The most annoying thing was Def Doc being an unfun static defense way of playing that threw off an otherwise 9/10 interplay.The Brits were Def Doc as a faction. Dig a trench, move your truck, lock it down, build emplacements. Ad nauseum, with some exception for Royal Commandos players (but it was never balanced properly, either OP or underwhelming). PE was not much better.

>>514325224DoW2 does have some kill animations, but mostly for heroes. Some normal units like Orks still have them though, I know my boyz had unique kills against at least Space Marines and Eldar.The problem was always balance though. In one of the DoWs (I think it was the first), you still still take damage during an animation but not die, so you likely died instantly as soon as the animation finished. In 2, you were straight up immune, so you wanted to preform as many animations as possible to have your units soak tons of damage. Neither one really worked.

How does C&C Remastered compare to OpenRA?

>>514343993It has full new campaigns for GDI and NOD (missing only a final GDI mission), and almost all the units and buildings and their graphics are new. I don't think they're HD or anything though because it's a TS mod running on the TS engine. If you like C&C and TibSun you should try it, it's a pretty high quality mod.

Has anyone tried to recreate the TD or RA campaigns in TS or RA2?

>>514344173Yeah Ive seen it on sale for like 10$ but blizzards rarely does sales.

>>514348931Not really. It commits a major rts sin of having every unit be a hard counter to only one other type of unit and basically worthless against everything else. Units move slowly, take a long time to build, and die fast. Base building is absolutely minimal. Goo faction is kind of neat, but overall a letdown.

All resources are just abstract non-stockpiled gains and only gold gets stockpiled, which can offset other resource shortfalls.Its so fucking satisfying identifying terrain chokepoints, and letting units dig in for the defense bonus and just playing like an ACTUAL STRATEGY GAME instead of gook-click starcraft tactical unit ability spam.The most APM shit that Kohan gets is using a "retreat" to direct your unit's figures behind the enemy so you can better surround them.

>played every C&C / RA game except C&C4 and RA3>decide to give them a try since I have the collection rotting in my libraryRA3 wasn't terrible, but I definitely see why it sank. Too much emphasis on coop / multiplayer, and tried simplifying everything while also added too many gimmicks.C&C4 is just absolute shit. No idea what they were thinking. Every aspect of it from gameplay to visual design is just really really bad.

>>514337973I agree with your points on the aesthetics, but C&C3 was still a great game that honored what the previous games were building to a respectable degree.They fucked up pretty bad with RA3 and onwards, though.

>>5143687944 was not supposed to be a mainline game. No cinematics, no story. Just MOBA. But then EA made the decision to make it Tiberium Twilight, which the fans were all asking for, and the rest is history.I thought RA3 was fun, tho.

>>514324964I loved the game even though my only strategy was to make gangs of dudes with heavy bolters and just marched them across the map, obliterating everything.

>>514359551C&C3 campaigns are good. Just don't play on hard. You'll get effortlessly rolled by the AI later on. It's retarded.

>>514381130Stronghold. Combat sucks though

I heard the RTS aspect of the SpellForce series is pretty barebones compared to other RTS, how true is this?

>>5143798421. Immediately expand to the gold mines east & west of your base and max out your upgrades when you can2. Get a big group of hippogryph riders (for big damage)3. Get a big group of dryads (for being magic immune + abolish)4. Put all your defense items on Furion. At the very least you need the necklace of spell immunity from an earlier mission.5. Every wave, make furion use force of nature on some trees, then tranquility while tanking all the enemies. Then send in the hippogryphs and dryads6. Run Tyrande up to the goblin merchant near orc base after every few waves and buy all the goblin mines and set them behind furion, to kill the infernals when they spawn. Helps if you have the boots of speed from an earlier mission7. Run some wisps down to the human base and build a shit ton of moonwells on autocast and maybe some ancient protectors8. If you get a wave with 2 enemy heroes at once, make tyrande use starfall9. Keep some healing wards on tyrande just in case furion is taking too much damage towards the end - there's one in some crates around the human base

>>514381130likely stronghold, AoE II can be nice too (Or alternatively StarWars battlegrounds if you want AoEII with a starwars skin)

>>514381130I'd go with Supreme Commander

>>514317635I can’t get anyone to play c&c generals with me, bros. It hurts

>>514379842>>514382290Isn't it 100% times easier just to rush the goldmines and an ancient on the human base, then just spam protectors and moonwells?, i remember doing it on hard and archimonde never even reaching the human base

>>514318934We enjoyed base building so we’d have an initial cease fire for a period of time and disallow attacking harvesters. Made for some epic battles

>>514362618wait, majesty has a widescreen? where how?

>Playing Counterstrike missions>Accidentally attack the AI's harvester>ohshit.jpg >Prepare to get swarmed>It doesn't come>Instead the AI just sends a few tanks to the harvester's position >They continue following it around and guarding it until I go and kill them Did they change the AI to stop it from fixating on whatever unit attacked its harvester?

>>514392892This>>514393373>doesnt have one hundred thousand players on steam and fifty thousands viewers on twitch? must be deadIt's shitposting, don't bother responding.

The kind of people who complain about apm don't even build enough units or utilize enough resources or map control to beat people with lower apm than them. Some guy being able to split groups really fast or micro harassers against you isn't going to matter if you turtle your corner of the map and have less units than then them anyway.

>don't scout>float resources>think its a city builder>don't build workers and keep up supply>DURR GOOKCLICK

>>514395443The people who complain about meta and APM are the worst. APM is what makes people make mistakes which is what stops games being pure meta-knowledge + execution and become about thinking how to handle a situation.

>>514345027RTS never "started" focusing on APM, APM is inherently required in the genre due to multitasking being required/beneficial, much like aiming and movement skill are required to effectively play a shooter and combo execution skill is required to play a fighting game. To make a game which DOESN'T require APM would require gutting and designing the gameplay specifically around being slow and devising ways to gimp and make fast players ineffective, in other words the game needs to be purposefully designed in such a way that there aren't a lot of things for the player to do, because if there are then the faster player (higher APM) has an inherent advantage (which he should, because he's better at the game). Such a game would be pretty shit. AoE most certainly requires decent APM to play well, if you think it doesn't it's probably because you never played well and never played against somebody who plays well, probably never even watched somebody who is actually decent play either.

>>514345780Every review I've read about that says it's really good or really bad.

>>514339758better graphics, worse balance

>>514344612Based

>>514361513>being a cuckbrain in a cuckbot body

>>514337303if i own hd age of empires 2 should i get the definitive edition?

>>514345027this is why RTS games have variable speeds, online should have handicaps for new players

>>514405592yes

>>514405742whats the dif/upgrades?

>>5144058954 new civs4 new campaignsnew graphics and building destruction animsyou can shift click to queue commandsauto farm reseedyou can have multiple upgrades queued up in the same building

>>514397480Good game. Gave me faith in HW3 writing. They really understood how the Kiith system worked.

I wish wargame/steel division had actual single player campaigns, I really like the game but I don't have time to dedicate to online. plus its much better to learn the game by playing in a fun campaign than getting destroyed onlinewhy don't the devs understand this?I did heard that steel division had some sort of co op thing, is this true and is it anything good?

RTS games like CNC and red alert really need a timer function, also renegade x since the same thing happens where both sides attack each other and get crippled but theres not enough ore or whatever nearby to rebuild in a fast enough fashion to do a second attack and finish the job and both players get bored

>>514337492Competitive players don't like randomized mechanics, so adding stuff like this is a now win scenario for devs.

>>514406391Steel Division 2 has an "Army General" mode that I've heard is pretty decent, never played it myself though.

>>514406475t. never played cnc 3 and up

>>514327205Crippled by bad game modes.You "win" by getting more points than the enemy. There are two modes. One is destruction, where you get points by killing the enemy. Two is conquest, where you get points by holding the map.The problem is that in "destruction" there's no incentive to attack, because attacking is always more costly than defending. So you just sit back and try and snip high value targets with artillery.Conquest avoids this problem because there is an incentive to attack (to take territory) except that economy is tied to the score zones as well as the score - so whoever has more of the map has more money, and is also defending - so they have two advantages.In the end you get a snoozefest of a game. Everyone opens with a massive helidrop in the score zones covered by napalm bombers and fighters and then the next forty minutes are a total stalemate until the points tick up. I think I only ever saw a game turned around once.It really needed a game mode where the objective was to capture the enemy's HQ sector or something.

>>514406606so they fixed the stalemate problem in cnc3? red alert 3 is more esporty warcrafty and doesn't count

>>514406669what stalemate problem? you expand, and by the time you exhaust the expansion the base tib has regrown

>>514369737It was so bad Blizzard was issuing no questions asked refunds

>re-watching old GSL vods it was a better time

>>514406780i just renenber a lot of scenarios where me and a friend were doing 1 on 1 and i'd cripple his base but lose all my units and we;d have to wait like 5 minutes for the harvesters to get enough shit to either try and rebuild or finish mopping up their buildings

>>514406962probably played shitty maps or didnt cap any tibspikes

>>514407093red alert has ore

>>514406475The marathon games were my favorite.

>>514403209Tiberian Sun onwards looks fine at 1280x720 but this mod does not scale at all even at that resolution.

>>514407131>so they fixed the stalemate problem in cnc3?is the topic user

>>514406962Sounds like you sucked

also for a third party, openRA really balanced the rts units in the games to be more practical>>514407217cnc3 unit variety sucks

>>514390140The solution is making sure the player only has to make the important decisions.

bump

>>514384068Majesty HD has been on steam for 8 years. Where have you been?

>>514325391Great game

>>514407765So you want the game to play itself for you.

I'm gonna say itthe remastered tracks for c&c suck, most just add guitars and turn the tracks into generic metal. the originals are much better

>>514369737They have added back important things like offline custom battles and whatnot, but it is still far from the original.The launch version was despicable.

>>514410884Is it worth buying on sale?

>>514415090It can become RNG bullshit at times on the harder missions but other than that it's pretty fun

Iron harvest does feel like a shittier version of company. Kinda sad about that.

>>514345780does it have hotkeys for building stuff now?

>>514321318>Creeper WorldFuck yes I loved those games. Some of the scenarios were a bit repetitive, but having to balance your economy with the spread of the blue stuff was always enjoyable

>>514324579Thanks for this! Giving it a listen and can already tell it will prove to be a good companion for night shifts.

Why do I always find the RTS hugbox threads when they're approaching bump limit?
