>>322788251
explain this shit /v/
>>322788251
I think some tbs games have the elements or part of the elements you are describing.
Like Alpha Centauri has a lot of unit customization iirc.
In Warlords 3 you design your army by picking with kind of troops you have.
>With some random events, small and global ones. Be it weather, cataclysms, rebellions, internal problems etc etc
Makes me think of gs games.
This thread dies ONLY on my command!
NOT BEFORE!
>>322789262
>tfw no mordern Star Wars RTS game
Gotta say, the Total War style tbs/rts hybrid is just about perfect for me. I can devote time and thought to a proper grand strategy with lots more depth than an pure rts can. The same applies to the rts component; I can devote all my attention to proper tactical strategy without being inturrupted by something like some attack on a mining complex on the other side of my empire.
Now if GalCiv could have real time battles like Homework or Nexus, I would be a happy camper.
>>322791504
But in what style?
AoE?
Empire at War?
Something new like CoH or MoW?
Homeworld with space only?
>>322789262

Am I a faggot if I think that the genre peaked with SCBW?
>>322789262
Starcraft did a lot to ruin the genre by being one of the most APM focused titles and competitively popular. Most RTS's aren't as much of an austistic clickfest, but everyone assumes Starcraft = RTSs as a whole.
>>322794702
No. But it peaked with both SC:BW for fast paced RTS and Total Annihilation for grand RTS.
Once you go grand anything else is bland.

>>322794802
I'm still waiting on someone to explain how people in a foreign country playing the same game for over a decade ruined the genre for anyone else. pretty much every popular rts made since then that's not sc2 has been trying to be as unlike starcraft as possible.
>>322796417
Not really. Relic dropped the support and somebody had to keep balancing/adding new stuff.
Or are you really advocating and OP faction in multiplayer?
>>322791805
Man I'd love a Star Wars game which was a mix of CoH for ground combat, and Empire at War's Space combat.
>>322796581
RTS is a shit genre in general
getting gud means repeating the same autistic movements every single game
Koreans just made everyone aware of it
>>322794929
I never liked them desu, I always loved rts for the spectacle of controlling huge battles, watching two soldiers hitting each other for a few minutes as numbers above their heads slowly decrease doesn't really have the same effect.
>>322797396
>getting gud means repeating the same autistic movements every single game

Nobody has mentioned MechCommander in at least 3 of the past threads that I've been reading.
Extremely underrated game. My dream is to make what MechCommander 2 should have been using UE4.
Anybody else able to get UA to start since the new patch dropped? Even with the hotfix, it crashes unless I play with the extra faction mods enabled.
On a side note, why do modders make their factions so overpowered compared to base game? Daemons are literally shit to fight as or against
>>322789262
it's important to not make a player adapt to a changing environment and be creative. meta should succeed over all.
dynamic and analog systems are stupid and only for noobs. APM is king!
>>322794580
>didn't go with dual tactical marines
Yea
They hard counter most early IG shit because flamer reks guards and that SMTS active ability lets you take murderous pot shots on Sentinel.
Flame Throwers and rush his power nodes.
God, I blow dick at RTS, but I love Dark Crusade.
I really need to get better at my hotkeys. And I'm awful at managing my units in large fights.

I don't want to even believe that number.

I own Total Annihilation but I've never spent any time with it.
I ought to try that one out some time.
>>322802251
there is a crowd funded mechcommander game coming out using the turn based PnP rules.
Trouble is the PnP rules need a serious overhaul.
>>322803792
I remember you from that meme maps thread
>>322802251
That's because MechCommander (at least the second game, which is the one I played) is not an RTS. They are an RTT (tactics rather than strategy).
I bought DoW2 during the sale and my god it's bad
They made the game about small scale engagements and micro heavy, but they made microing super tedious.
Why did they think it's a good idea to make every unit tiny, hard to tell apart and having extremely small health bars?
It's fucking ridiculous how one Ork squad in DOW1 has more men than my entire army in DOW2
>>322804431

SupCom is the only good RTS.
>>322809061
I consider preordering this but the price is just to high. 45 eur? For just 13 mission. Even with discount this is insane. I never been interested in multiplayer in rts besides lan parties.
>>322803792
Ave Imperium.
>>322809789
lrn 2 play lol
but depending on your level of rts experience, watch tutorial videos and read wiki pages. then just practice a lot to git gud at apm and multitasking.
Soulstorm or Dark Crusade?
>>322810526
Same question as this guy. I got the whole DoW collection, but I want to know should I do DC or SS?
>>322810526
Soulstorm.
>>322810526
DC is objectivly better than SS for several reasons.
SS though has more factions and godlike mods.
>>322810526
Dark Crusade is where DoW went to absolute shit. SS is better but doesn't fix enough.
>>322810526
Ss with mods
What happen to that touhou rts?

>>322811419
looks like an AoE mod imo
>>322810330
this map was the shit
i dont like how the resource management is managed in some rts games
some games have you walling off and defending your harvesters
while others just have resource points to fight over
>>322811572
CoH 1
best rts according to metacritic too
CoH 2 needs a new axis faction and a big fucking optimization update.
>>322812061
which do you prefer? play MoW or wargame if you just dislike macro
>>322812061
Please share your visionary view how to do it correctly then
>>322789512
This. I think RTS games have become completely unfun do to the massive amount APMs involved. And you get completely rolled over by anyone with a marginally higher APM.
TBS is where its at. Some TBS games are quick enough where it even feels like RTS. For example, summonstrike.com. You can plan your strategy ahead and then have that RTS/TBS feel in game.
Not a single Cossacks Screen?
>>322812076
Not the Anon you're replying to, but I got CoH during the sale and holy fucking shit, what an amazing game. I'd recommend it to anyone.
>>322812076
too bad metacritic and game scores as a whole are cancer.
>>322812296
im not saying those kinds of resource management things are wrong
its been a while since the genre has anything new or reinvented how it works
its either harvesters or resource points
>>322804431
It's for balancing purposes. If it was vehicle then no one would have counters for it early on.
>>322805701
This badly needs a widescreen patch and 60fps unlocker like they did with AoE2 (Forgotten Empires, pre-HD remake).
>>322811419
It's called "The Touhou Empire" now. It was released a week ago.

>>322811419
The campaign in their new one is longer than I expected but the final mission is pretty underwhelming.
>>322812745
wc3 introduced creeping or jungling as how the term is used in mobas
since you can get a small sum of gold from killing npc mobs then why not just expand on that
killing a bunch of treants will allow your harvesters to gather lumber from the corpse or something
then you'd be contesting against creeps instead of just resource points
>>322803125
>I got rekt by babby's first 9pool so now I'm going to whine about meta without understanding it
>>322789262
funny how /v/ shits on SC and SC2 as much. this community prides itself on being not casual and not normy, and playing 'hardcore' games. and when they're faced with a game that is actually genuinely difficult, to a degree where most people playing it will not manage to git gud no matter how hard they practice (there are tons of people having played thousands of games but still stuck in platinum league and below), they shit on it.
just saying this to show you how utterly casual and normie all of you are to people who play genuinely hard games.
starcraft apm really isn't that much fast clicking, a good bit comes from twitchy tapping which is just checking progress bars or general fidgeting
in broodwar you did have to spam a little more because you had to fight against the engine a bit
>>322813160
idra went from one shit game to anotherHotS LOLO
>>322813309
Contesting creeps was always a thing in WC3. The experience from hardcamps were almost crucial early game, not to mention any items that may drop.
>>322813427
While it's true that most of /v/ are filthy casuals in almost every game they set out to play, there are genuine complaints about Sc2 that should, and to an extent, has been addressed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFO9gKGFPBM
It's also only now, in the 3rd installment of Starcraft 2 that we finally have a more adaptive way of play because each race has more options. Zerg especially.

>Contesting creeps was always a thing in WC3
they contested mostly for xp denial and sometimes for items
its more on not letting that dk hit lvl 3 for that rank 2 death coil
sure you can get something like pipe or bone chimes which are great pickups
theyre not really game changing
when you involve even more resources into play then creeping should become a huge part of the game right?
Was trying to get into rts's by playing pic related. I played up until the last level then lost interest. Is there something im missing here? or are rts's just not for me?

>>322817445
Strategy games would focus in having bases and commanding generic units (your AoE 2 swordsmans or your Advance Wars Mech units are all the same and you can keep spawning more of them if you want) while tactics games generally don't have any base building (or bases at all) and focus on commanding a set of unique characters (your MechCommander 2 Mechs or Final Fantasy Tactics generic units are unique to you and can't be reproduced without making another unique unit and going through hoops until it's equal to the one you want to copy).
Or that was how it was explained to me, at least.
>>322817685

>>322812504
I'm working on into cossacks right now, its tough. I don't know why its so difficult for me, am I wrong in thinking it requires a lot of micro for both eco and war? Maybe I'm not used to fighting with the formations yet, or artillery that fires from 1.5 screens away

>>322818528
Rome 2 had a terrible launch, but that aint new for Total War games. It's a good game in vanilla now. If you like historical accuracy and more depth, the you should look into getting the Divide et Impera mod on the workshop.

>>322819804
you go from vague to detailed.
As in do shit knowing it's not perfect and acknowledging that you are missing details. Eventually you realize huh this is that etc. After a while you won't have to use processing power of your brain as you know the patterns.
Much like chess, at first you don't what the fuck's going on. Then you notice patterns, learn situational stuff so you don't have to think about them when playing.

Catachans + Commisar (the melee hero) in DoW2 can do some damage to SM. If you go with just sentinel & guardsmen you will get stomped.

>>322824210
as an rts, it's fine. The ai will give you a good challenge and the campaign is very enjoyable.
As for custom games, which carried the community for years, it's dead. Most moved to sc2 or moved to mobas. Very few real mappers left, let alone players to play those maps.
