Thoughts on Knights of Honor?

Ok I'm really new to this and extra confused now, are these official C&C games?

Yes. OpenRA may have extra modifications but both Red Alert and Tiberian Sun are official CnC games. Red Alert is an alternative version of CnC1 and Tiberian Sun is CnC2

either red alert or tiberian sun. the original is good if you played it at the time but it's missing way too many QoL features to be playable today

So is anyone, anyone at all looking forward to Steel Division 2? From the developers of the Wargame trilogy (the best thing to happen to RTS since Supreme Commander IMHO)

How's the first one?

Can we discuss something else that isn't remasters?

A lot of good ideas, singleplayer was kind of naff since they went for the mission-based campaign approach. They experimented a ton with the Wargame formula, to varying effect.

I dropped it mostly because I'm just sick of the Normandy setting. Looking forward to eastern front much more.

never get eugen games on launch

Have you played this? I have and I found it was just artillery spam all day every day. You just point and shoot your mortars and the units get supressed, then either surrender or fall back. The map becomes very static because whenever 1 side tries to push you just click on them with all your artillery. Then you go on the Discord and they chastise you for insulting their perfect game. Apparently using smokes counters cross-the-map and off-the-map artillery.

Friend conned me into buying it and now I can't refund it because it's been more than 2 weeks. Not happy about my purchase

Thats kinda the direction this thread is already going. What do you want to discuss?

Are you talking about the beta for 2, or 1? I never felt SD1 had too much of an issue with arty spamming.

Fuck remasters.
Also, SC2 is still better.

Not even memeing, the IRL Soviets fielded obscene amounts of artillery to use smoke.

Could an RTS with JRPG aesthetics work?

Attached: golem.png (572x545, 690K)

Yes I have tried, I should have expanded on it more in my initial post. It doesn't change anything (or is even counterproductive) because you can see where the enemy has dropped smoke, so you just blow up that bit as well as all the other bits. Also the guy firing the smoke has just revealed the position of his mortars, so you can target those too. The artillery aligns way too quickly and has a colossal suppression effect radius. Two shells land near your guys and they just stop moving, then they surrender

I don't see why not. I think the issue with that though is who will play it. Asians don't play RTS games and RTS players don't play jap shit.

I honestly don't think it's that binary.

Lots of people on Yea Forums play JRPGs and Western games at the same time.

Also who knows, if somehow that leads to a bunch of weebs to try out RTS i think it's worth it.

>Asians don't play RTS

>JRPG aesthetics
No such thing exists. There's practically as many aesthetics as they are worthwhile games.
If you just mean an RTS game which looks like an anime in some way, then there's already bucketloads of those.

China is the biggest RTS nation on Earth, mate.
South Korean love for Starcraft is a meme of its own.
Vietnamese are religiously playing AoE1 (yes, 1) to this day and even show matches on TV.

>there's already bucketloads of those.
What, which games?

It's risky is all im saying, because of that no triple a dev would do it. Maybe one day an indie dev will do it. The safest bet would probably be with gundam mechs.

Would work. Only what type of RTS? More like a traditional one or more in DoW's direction?

This is a nice intro.

I wish we had more Army Men games. But in RTS's case is that you essentially played against the same faction with different colors. Should've made Greens and Tans actually differ in some way.

This game needs to land on Steam or GOG without the Games for Windows stuff. That and get a sequel.

Post Based Factions

Of course it's risky, making an RTS in 2019 by itself is risky, it's why Petroglyph is making a Survival RTS instead of a traditional one.

Traditional RTS seem to just die on release.

I'm biased to something with the scale of supreme commander or heroes of anihilated empires.

But intricate eastern designs lend better to smaller conflicts, like warcraft 3.

If you don't give a fuck about competitive bullshit just play custom games or with other people.

Robots are fucking cool though.

He was an angsty teenager when it came out and hated colors. Colors were not "in" back then, you see. Everything was this brownish-turd colored paste of bland. RA3 completely fucked up by adopting the RA2 color palette, thus alienating xXBART_SephirothXx guys like and hence deservedly tarnishing its reputation forever.

I too am waiting until I see what they're doing with the single player campaign. They've made a lot of promises and I hope that they'll be able to deliver on them. W:ALB was rudimentary, W:RD was serviceable, SD2 might just be good, who knows.

On an unrelated note, has anyone played the Mechcommander games? I've been on a Battletech binge lately and I've thought about trying them out, are they any good?

the only thing i hate about RD is the stupid AI.....it's just boring

Exactly how? By trying something new with unit stances, by learning from other RTS games and objectively improving the ore system? By going even more cartoon crazy than RA2? It was nowhere near shit, and if 'the others' include the first titles you're obviously giving bonus points for nostalgia because they had so much bullshit and so many minor issues that they've only begun to fix with OpenRA. And compared to C&C 4 it was GOTYOAY.

Do you really think they care now that they're working on a C&C remaster?

did you eat lots of bulgogi

Didnt know they do, but I think it's just because they took over the whole mideast and Asia. Would have been weird if they took over entire continent except one country

have you tried resetting W:EE to its release version? They really shook up the balance of the game post launch, which made the campaign absolutely brutal. They never really got the multiplayer right anyway, we went through a superheavy tank meta, autocannon meta, ATGM meta and in the end helo rushing was still an autowin button against most plebs.

Everyone misses them. At least we knew we could get more Heroes games. UbiSoft has Might and Magic and the only games that are actually good are the earliest Ashan ones (Heroes V with ToTE, Clash of Heroes and Dark Messiah).

And yeah, the kind of changes to Army Men you just said would've worked. Would actually go more Axis and Allies stuff with more modern elements thrown in.

damn, you can do that? maybe i should try.
tho, everytime when i alt-tab out of the game, i can't get back in.

Me. Needs larger unit limit.

RA3 wasn't so bad, but it was a downgrade compared to Tiberium Wars/Kane's Wrath.

NOW TIBERIUM TWILIGHT AND DAWN OF WAR III ON THE OTHER HAND...

>implying DoW II is exempt
Warhammer fanboys everyone.........................

>RA3 was bad because it had colors
Imagine being such a mental midget you think something like this up to avoid facing the glaring issue the game had, and how it absolutely failed to hold up to the first two RA games. Have sex.

C&C Generals is a good balance between the modern (easy fixes for high resolution, solid UI, general QoL features) and the classic gameplay that defined the series. I wouldn't recommend starting with the original C&C/RA unless you're already a RTS fan.
I liked it quite a bit
Never really enjoyed Eugen games to be honest, although I'm certainly not going to knock those who do.
The last couple of missions in the campaign are pretty brutal, but otherwise this is truly an underappreciated C&C esque game. I just wish it had more resources per map
There are plenty of worse games, C&C4 and DoW 3 are pretty good recent examples.
DoW 2 with the Elite mod and some no population cap modifications comes painfully close to being a great game.

Also what happened with that game that was basically Company of Heroes with mechs? Iron Harvest or something I think it was called

How is DOW2 bad? I can see not liking it based on the differences, but without comparing it to the first its a fine game on its own. DOW 3 is just retarded for several reasons, it was doomed a while ago when it was made by the shattered fragments of Relic proper, among other things.

Its divisive but not DoW3 tier.

Crap base-building, "armies" consisting of 5 units maximum, closer to Call of Duty than an RTS with how small the multiplayer maps were and how rail-roaded were the campaign maps.

The fact that they've gotten rid of the sectors and gone for a smooth map (with different types of terrain on the strategic layer) is a gamechanger. You're now taking advantage of roads, fortifying individual crossroads, maintaining supply lines etc. It's the gameplay of a classic hex-wargame now.

love it, also love the peresistance there is to it.

if they actually manage to pull it off, we might end up with an operational-level game that would be enjoyable on its own, even without the RTS elements. The thing is that Eugene have a history of wonky game mechanics and releasing games with subsystems that simply don't work (like W:RD naval combat). Which is why I'm reserving my purchase until I can judge how good this SP will be.

she looks kinda ugly 2bh

i think i will love this. This strategic map looks like some operation star tier of things and when you zoom in. it's not hardcore simulator tier of troop control, that's a plus and it's not close combat leon type of autism.

so that's cool too. but damn, i think i will wait till more mods come out before i buy the game JUST FOR THE CAMPAIGN.

What's Eugen been up to? I stopped playing their games after Red Dragon came out because it had no dedicated servers on launch, naval combat was an awful gimmick, and it felt like I had to play mixed decks to be viable.

>they were the same
The Tan don't have Sarge.

Lots of stuff.
First, they tried to resurrect the classic 90's RTS genre with Act of Aggression. It was meh.
Then, they made Steel Division, basically WW2 Wargame but with a lot of changes under the hood.
Now they're making a sequel to that set in the eastern front of WW2.

Oh yeah, and they switched publishers twice throughout all this. First they left Focus after AoA and signed up with Paradox, then they left Paradox after SD1 to be self-published.

Frankly it's a miracle this game is coming out at all with how they've been doing shit.

Attached: 1547725861449.jpg (750x980, 741K)

Its pretty low tier to be honest. Nothing you throw at the enemy seems to feel like it works well, aside from specific siege units like the new Dreadnought that can fire while moving and the flying samurai helmet from the expansion.
Most of the units in that game feel like they're made of paper, so you'd spend thousands of credits on a late game unit that's just out performed by tier 1.5 shit like those Mecha Tengu. They went with a rock paper scissors system thinking it was what CNC was about.
Its about spending smartly and using units effectively. If they wanted battles to go faster then cut the health bars, don't give damage multipliers to units that are supposed to be the scissors to paper; which the player doesn't get to figure out by the way. I hated spending credits on later tier units in RA3 when I could hardly find the situations in which I could learn to use those units effectively, and meanwhile the early game MBTs like the Hammer tank were just better than so many units later on.
>hammer tank clones machine guns and missile units and defeats the rock paper scissor game design

And then there are these...DoWII is good as in its own way. It may not be DoW, but the more tactical take combined with higher risk makes it an interesting thing. It doesn't have DoW-levels of battles, but its still fun...UNLIKE DOWIII which is EVERYTHING BAD ABOUT BOTH PREVIOUS GAMES.

Horror beyond comprehension. The peak of EA JEWISHNESS AND LAZINESS. The franchise killer.

>yeah, when they randomized resources

You're saying that as if AoE and all its clones did not do this, successfully, from the start.

The game was okay as a follow-up to Act of War. Issue was the AoW community is small and was overshadowed by the C&C imbeciles who cried and cried until they got what they wanted and made the game shit.

Generals and zero hour take some effort to get working on W10 machines, but it can be done.

sniff

Army Men had some dark stuff. I think in some of those games there were scenes where the greens were being dumped inside vats of tan plastic and coming out of the conveyor belt as tan soldiers. It was some of the best brainwashing symbolism for kids.

radomizing resources is weird as fuck, i'm not sure how competitive AOE2 deals with it.

Attached: DP0XwTgVAAAL2Nd.jpg (910x1620, 192K)

The single player for this game was a blast and had great design but I cannot stress just how bad multiplayer is in.
SbS is probably the most interesting matchup in a rts in a while though. Nonstop early game aggression. The sc2 fags would call this a zvz knife fight on steroids.

>and meanwhile the early game MBTs like the Hammer tank were just better than so many units later on.

That's literally the essense of most C&C games. hardcore rock-paper-scissors.
Compared to games like Starcraft/Warcraft which have a soft counter system and varied units.
No matter how many rifle soldiers you get, they will get ran over and slaughtered by tanks. That's C&C and hard-counter mechanics.
In SC, no one cares the siege-tank counters mass units like Zerglings if you throw a small group of zerglings at it, it will die if the fight isn't even.

Dude, all the fucking maps in AoE are randomly generated.
When they play on "Arabia", they play on a random generation template, not a pre-defined map.

>How do they deal.
They deal with it. The system is built to be fair (if you get something closer, so will your opponent) just like in Act of Aggression.

Starcraft 2 sucks dick

lol

Ultrawide is the most popular new monitor type sold above the 200 dollar price range. Its a gigantic market now.

You couldn't beat a Mammoth tank that can self heal HP by the way, with a light, medium, or heavy tank. Bang for buck.

Infantry getting run over was solved by the time of RA2. The GI when deployed en masse can turn Rhino tanks into mince meat.
In CNC Generals they gave infantry buildings and vehicles to shoot from and they improved it from RA2. Then CNC3 made infantry tougher by giving them to you in bulk. Buy 1 gun infantry, get 6 or 12 dudes. Buy 1 missile infantry, get 2 dudes. Then RA3 comes out and the infantry are trash except for the allies' shotgun infantry and the empire's laser anti-tank infantry.
In both RA3 and CNC3 mounting vehicles and entering buildings was worse than in RA2 and Generals.

RTS games still use GUI made for 4:3 minotors, mate.

>that one cutscene where a sniper blows your head off

You could play all your games on 50 monitors now. A modern GPU can handle it.
Why don't you?

The limited ability to view the map is a part of the game design like any other.

I hate that the AI shits on you due to its shooter units ignore the Fog of war humans get, and most units cant see for shit to add to it.

It's industry conservatism. The industry hates innovation and wonders why Starcraft 2 and other Starcraft-likes like RA3 just flatout fail.

Dunno yet but I know they reduced the number of playable factions so hopefully the existing ones have a bit more depth. Also, I think it got an expansion recently.

Yeah. We can blame Disney. Blame them for retconning the EU. Blame them for closing Lucas Arts. Blame them for all these stupid decisions.

All I want is fun. Is it wrong to have fun?

There was literally nothing wrong with Command & Conquer Arena, the free to play MOBA spinoff which did not affect the canon.

what the fuck was the documentary gonna be about?

Then they released an expansion that fixed nearly everything. Problem is it was already too late.

Because not only it wasn't canon, it wasn't some game that was treated the same way Diablo Immortal or C&C Rivals were. Hence why it didn't amass so much hate.

>anyone at all looking forward to Steel Division
No. I really wanted Wargame with WW2 units but instead the devs made Steel Division 1. Everything they changed from their previous games feels like a turn for the worse.

>titans is shit too
fuck you i liked it. sure, it only has 1 race (2 if you count the player-made mod), but as an idiot who struggles with other RTS games it was a nice middle ground between simple and complex, the perfect for a dummy like me. i even got kinda competent at it, whereas i can't get competent in any other RTS or any other game in a competitive genres at all.

i do,didnt find a way to fix it tho which is a shame since i really liked the first one and now ive lost all intrest in the game

Like The Thing, it's technically unkillable since it can jump from body to body. The bodies being the million investors that will never ever let Disney fall to the ground. Too big to fail, and it will only get bigger with time.

95% of all relevant mods are for Forces of Corruption only, since it's technically the newest Empire at War version. Check Moddb to see what you can find for stock EaW, but you won't find much.

it's not like it doesn't run on windows 10, it's a dx9 game. they just took it down for no reason really.

did you play TA or supcom? because those use the same system but much, much better. I guess if you have nothing to compare it to except gookclickers then it seems like it's good.

Unless you have shittons of napalm and explosives. Even their newest movies seem to have put little to no dent in them.

FACT: The EU was never canon. But it is shit that they rebooted it and folded their "new EU" into actual canon.

If the Star Wars IP somehow flops completely, they still have a hundred others to fall back to and they will acquire even more.
Literally invincible. The only hope for a new Star Wars RTS is if somehow EA pulls off a Halo Wars 2. But they learned what listening to fans does, with Need For Speed dying even faster after it's "reboot".

but they have three or sometimes even four races, each with their different units. and i can't find an easy-to-digest pdf file on google docs that explains the strengths and weaknesses of each race's factory choices in each tier. you underestimate how stupid i am.
also supcom's original UI doesn't mesh well with me, and FA campaign starts off where original one ended (so a total noob will be stomped 100%), and FAF does not even have a campaign/single player mode at all.
i mean, i'll keep trying, but currently i like PA more mostly because it was the first one i got gud in.

But just look at how much love and effort they put into the announcement trailer, even though it features no gameplay surely the team that would go so far as to capture the 40k atmosphere and aesthetics wouldn't completely miss the mark. I mean, it's not like you'd make a bunch of entirely separate, tonally divorced concept art for the cinematic trailer and the game right? It's not like they'd abandon the game's dedicated niche following to try and appeal to a broader audience right? Not like they'd forsake the DoW franchise's core appeal to chase some fad in an attempt to get more sales right?

Thing is however that Lucas himself committed certain experimental materials that later expanded with fans and more, creating certain principles that later told how certain things work in the original series and later found their way into the prequel trilogy. There wouldn't be a prequel trilogy without the old EU that now is called Legends. Not to mention that unlike the new canon, the old one wasn't tightly connected with each other, thus canon in this case was selective. If it was bad, you ignored it. If it was something you genuinely thought is good, then it was canon for you.

New canon is literally everything canon. Both the bad stuff and the few good (and it's a stretch here) things that appeared. Too intertwined, too tight-knit. No room for maneuvering. And the politicking and onions...Dear God I miss my childhood.

Dark times it is.

Well he did use some things, but officially only lucasfilm products were canon. It was really just a way of saying they aren't tied down to the novels when making new movies.

weapons get replaced by upgraded versions, and the propulsion system choices consist of "early game wheels that are suicide to use past early game; mid-game half-tracks that only get used on trucks past mid-game; always the superior choice tracked and hover propulsion. vtol is the aircraft gimmick"

the only "real" choices are body/chassis types, Snake-named body for general-purpose, Bug-named for fragile low-cost and thermal resistance, Feline-named for higher health medium-cost and projectile resistance, and then "lol broken" superior stats with insane prices draconic-named bodies... that are never used because games don't go on for that long.

and then there is the double weapon chassis that takes so long to tech up to i got bored afking for like 2 hours in a skirmish

>recommending the universally most hated game in the series
What m8? CnC4 is the most hated.

I don't think SupCom2 is irredeemable filth, more like the shadow realm. It can be a fun game, it's just hampered by the expectations because it's a sequel.

Yeah, SupCom 2 is only subpar.

CoH2 is trash compared to 1 though. There's a reason 1 still has 2/3 the player base of 2.

Graphics have kind of a cartoon look to it.
Map design is very basic, every map feels like it is designed to work in a MOBA.
Units are made of tissue paper.
Heroes are rape trains.

I know that last part sounds like DoW 2 (The hero part) but in DoW3 a single hero can literally wipe entire squads (multiple) in one attack when using a special ability. It makes the game play a mess.

i mean yeah, everyone hates 4.
but of the old C&C games Tiberian Sun did really poorly. It lagged like fuck, terrain destruction pissed everyone off and it was the game that spawned the 10 years of brown-shaded grimdark bullshit that followed.
The only C&C game that was hated more was Sole Survivor, the online-only single-unit battle royale released in the late 90's when no-one had Internet yet.

The wonderful thing about that "Dragon" chassis is, the original version of WZ2100 didn't have a double-turret on it. (Just like aim distance modifiers which were patched out due to pathfinding/retreat issues) Just a very expensive body with a shit ton of health and armor. It just represented the end of tank chassis research, like the plasma cannon (and orbital laser satellite) represents the end of energy-weapon research, and the arch-angel missile battery the end of missile emplacement research.

Over all, WZ2100 really needs an actual balance sweep to fix its issues. But hey

As someone who put 1000+ hours into DoW 1 and around 500 hours into DoW 2 (including the expansions for both), DoW 3 is a complete and utter dumpster fire that I dropped after like 5 hours.

It's just worse than the previous games by virtually every metric. DoW 2 gets flak for being different but the campaign in that game was great and the smaller army sizes were somewhat justifiable due to the increased need for micro (cover system + suppression system + more abilities for most units + commander units had more depth to them).

How did the vanilla game play btw?
I played the fan project and it was suprisingly fun at first but later on it just seems AT>>>everything else. There was no reason to use anything else since those guys just had stupid good alpha strike. All that cannon and flamer research was pointless.
Another thing was how broken the angel missles were. Pinpoint, never overkills, unlocked like 1/3 through the game. Shit was fun and broken but it felt like thats not how it shouldve been. And then AI actually uses that shit to hit your LZs in the last missions.

am I crazy or did CoH2 not have any base building when it launched?

Whats a good beginners RTS?

i'm being hopeful but realistically i'm just going to keep playing CoH1 most likely. there's more than enough good mods and maps for it and the persistent mods (like OMGmod and EIR) still have a good community behind them.

I suggest just playing whichever rts has a theme that you find interesting.
Scifi, historical, fantasy, whatever it is.

Sc2 is easier to control than most because you have a lot of stuff that helps you control your units, like a wide unit selection.
That might set you up for a bad habit that might make it harder to move on to other rts games though, so I'm not sure what a good beginner rts would be.
AoE2, broodwar, maybe.

I'd suggest pretty much anything released after 2000 that has a theme/setting/selling point you find interesting
>why not something before 2000?
Honestly most games are fine but Age of Mythologies, C&C Generals, Starcraft 2 and Supreme Commander are more beginner friendly than the previous games in those series imho.

WC2 or RA2.

Are you for real? The AI in TA/TAK is one of the worst in RTS history.
Also you're supposed to constantly build birds for vision.

the AI is very easily modded to be quite good.

This had something like Warcraft’s hero system, right?

supcom2, unironically

No it did, but it was very limited. Both sides could make only 3 buildings (not counting the supply points on the capture locations and German Bunkers) and only in their immediate base location.

>Asians don't play RTS games

He's a weeb, he thinks all asians are japs, while rts are quite popular in most of east asia, just not japan.

starcraft is not a real rts and its the only one they play

>How did the vanilla game play btw?
3D rendering was relatively new and there were several draw-ordering glitches that would cause some polygons to render on top of others or completely wrong (electrical/smoke sprites layering on buildings) The lighting and camera shake effects from explosions were different; much more vertex-shaded style and shaking screen at 20FPS was jittery as fuck when 10 tanks/cyborgs got hit with a mortar volley and gibbed.

Balance wise: yes, for a game that used tanks as the primary unit the "anti-tank" rocket/missile weapons were horrendously over-powered. The "lancer" rocket tank turret with its first damage upgrade would instakill a targeted tank if both rockets hit.

>If both rockets hit
Which is where the "attack range" setting came into play. Projectiles are physically simulated, and can have guidance systems. "Dumb" projectiles like tank shells can have target prediction in the turret but if the target changes direction after being shot at, the shot could miss. Attack range was meant to mitigate this on the "dumb-and-dumber" weapons like machine guns which never get guidance or prediction systems.
Long-range means if the target is a static emplacement, you're more likely to get the first strike *and* not be hit while moving. Short-range means you'll be less likely to miss due to moving targets but are also easier to hit.

Due to the wonky pathfinding in the original, units would collide with each other, "oh shit i'm sorry, i'll get out of your way" and do a 180 U-Turn... into another unit.
Combine this with "short range" attack mode, with a weapon that has an already short range... like a flame thrower. (of course the flame thrower has an AoE attack... that can hurt friendlies too...)

so yeah, rockets+missiles O.P.

>starcraft is not a real rts
seething C&Cuck
WC2 >>>>> Red Alert

starcraft is shit m8
no one cares about your gookclick simulator

and units can be set to "retreat" on medium or low health, and will move more slowly as they become more damaged.
and most maps have choke points that are 5 tiles wide or less, and most tanks are about as large as 1 tile.

and there are 50 other units sitting bumper-to-bumper behind the front line units trying to get into range, retreat, or get out of the way of another unit.

you could attack a fortified location in these methodologies:
- Move trucks to build mortar emplacements and a sensor tower and wear down the fortifications.
- Do the above, but with mortar and sensor units.
- Build legitimate TANKS heavy body and tracked with cannons and just send them in 1 at a time with a repair bot behind them with medium-damage retreat to keep them alive with a repair bay on the front line, with the return pad located where the enemy fortification is.
- Do the above but use the correct weapon "Bunker Buster" to kill the fortifications more quickly.
- Wheel/Hover Viper Lancers, ONLY! YOLO SHORT RANGE. DO OR DIE, NO RETREAT, FIRE AT WILL!

Should I try and git gud at WC3 multiplayer if nothing has scratched the itch since SC2 WoL? Been trying to find another competitive game to play, but I haven't been hooked to anything nearly as much as the past.

I tried a while ago and it was decently active. I got my ass kicked though and I don't really like having to micro all the unit abilities in WC3.

For decent competitive scenes I think your only options are really aoe2, broodwar, sc2 and wc3.

and coh2

Age of Empires 2 is good, so's Red Alert 2, C&C1, Warcraft 2, Total Annihilation

this and CoH 1, CoH2's high level competitive play is shit compared to 1.

coh2 is a lot more balanced than coh1

I'm so glad this failed.

All they had to do was take a lot from DoW2 AND DoW1 and kind of merge both games together;

aka base building
but with DoW2 unit tactics and cover mechanics / retreat

instead of commanders like DoW2 had you can call in hero units like you can in DoW3, but they're not anywhere near as powerful / broken as they are in 3.
Get rid of the dumbass MOBA inspired "destroy the power core" bullshit multiplayer mode and return to DoW1 / 2 style capture points for resources / drain the enemies points / annihilation battles.

There, fixed what was a garbage ass game.

y'all tried zero-k or call to arms? both are free physics RTS, former is a fork of TA Spring, the remake of TA, latter is sort of a mod of men of war in modern times

zero k is extremely shit

It didn't simply "fail", it was a total disaster for everyone involved. Relic has gone into full introspect mode, they're bleeding money and wondering if RTS games are even worth pursuing anymore.

all of this while they're developing CoH3 and AoE4. Reminder that both of these games already have 2+ years in the oven. Pretty sure Relic are done for.

I wish they made aoe4 full 2D like aoe1 and 2. 3d rts have no soul and modern sprite art can look beautiful (and timeless).

based but wont work on win10

It was my first RTS as a kid and I recently replayed it. I loved the campaign, the problem was the game is kinda low brain since you don't really have to put too much effort into resource management and you'll hit the unit cap with little effort so you just create a deathball and hurl it towards your enemies.
I say this but I bet I'd get demolished in PVP though.

sun age is getting a bit old but damn it looked good.

When has CoH3 ever been confirmed?

That said, Relic's demise is likely overblown, they just spent several million opening a brand new office in a new building.

you can mod it to have like 1500+ cap

It hasn't been officially revealed yet but they aren't hiding that they're working on it either.
It's set in the pacific campaign.

No, your closest option is on GoG

>pacific
does that mean it will have naval battles?

Interesting, but the Pacific has always felt like an expansion to an existing game instead of its own game, due to the limited amount of units and parity between the US and IJA.

I feel like they could easily move past WWII and do a Cold War gone hot in the early 1950s kind of thing, which would be pretty neat, since the technology then was still very much similar to WWII but with fighter jets and nukes and whatnot.

Can't believe I've put over 5.6k hours into this.

Still, I kinda lost desire to continue playing a few weeks ago, played some other games instead and can't bring myself to play it anymore.

I had it set to 500. My point is I only had to ctrl+click on a unit in the building that makes them to queue infinite copies of them and just wait since the mana system is incredibly lenient.
Unless you played Zhon of course, that's a bit more high IQ even with Thirsha taking over every lodestone in the map in a blink

I'd actually buy CoH3 if it's set in the pacific. Then I can LARP The Thin Red Line.

How apm intensive is it?

any unit that you are not actively babysitting is dead

Always had trouble organising my control groups in every rts game. How do you guys do it? What's the criteria for picking what unit goes in what group?

Alright fuck that then.

Attached: 1554766741864.jpg (960x960, 91K)

Compared to games like Starcraft? Not much at all. A skilled player probably has over 100 though, easily. I don't know what I manage, I only play team games (2v2, 3v3, and 4v4) and it's less intense in APS in those game modes.

Basically, 1v1 will require a lot of APS and awareness of the map / where your units are positioned, and constantly moving around the map to give orders to your units / throw grenades, fire smoke, or do any of the other micro things you need to do, but it's far less intense or fast paced as other RTS games are.

CoH requires you preserve your units, that's rule #1 as units get veterancy which makes them better, more survivable, and can be upgraded over time, so you really need to be aware of where your units are, so that if say an isolated unit capping a point is getting flanked / surrounded by an enemy blob you can retreat it quickly.

All of the above said, the vast majority of CoH2 players aren't very skilled, it's only when you get into the top 150+ of the leaderboard that you encounter players with actual skill, and even then only really the top 50 or so are decent players.

the only game I ever used control groups in was starcraft, and only because of the 12 unit selection limit

Same but how would they balance the nip faction?
Japan armor division is so fucking poor. I wonder if they even came up with a heavy tank.
They'd be the only faction in the game without a heavy armor option.
I guess you can make them infantry focus but that shit is so easily countered it's not even funny.
Maybe allow them to gain extra resources for sitting on points and have stronger defense options?
Give them some air options?
If they introduce naval combat then there might be a chance and i'll get a fucking erection with the thought of naval and land focused rts set in WW2.

That guy is wrong, it's really not that intense of a game, you should watch some gamecasts or replays if you want to see what it's like.

Of course there's different skill levels for different players, and really great players are great at moving around the map, using control groups, etc.

Most players don't though.

I'd hardly consider myself very skilled, I use arrow keys to navigate the game map, and I don't use too many hotkeys, mostly relying on clicking unit abilities, but I still manage to play well and am ranked in the top 10 in all factions except OKW which I don't play.

Don't forget the fact that you HAVE to constantly click on your buildings to make more units. There's no hotkeys for all the buildings you currently own too so you just have to fucking bind them to a control group.
The pros in CoH 2 rarely use hotkeys and only for very weird specific builds.

Do you only play single player on easy or something

Also, here's a recent cast I found of high level players playing CoH2.

RA3 was a saturday morning cartoon, they couldn't even have nukes because the soccer moms would complain.

Design them around traps and morale (much harder to pin down)

>want coh 3
>seen dow 3
Im not ready, lads. Even dow 3 va were trash compare to other older titles.

Relic used to have god tier va and loved the voices in coh 1 and 2

no, but I do use camera anchors when I have to option, it's way more convenient. I actually just replaced the control group binds in SC2 with camera anchors

I think Relic learned their lesson HARD from how much of an abysmal failure DoW3 was. At least I hope they did.

They're still supporting CoH2 and they know the good things that were accomplished in it, so I would have some hope.

Naval combat is always very tricky. I doubt relic would try it. I mean AoE has it but the ships look ridiculous with how mobile they all are. Imagine ships that fast and maneuverable in company of heroes. But at the same time slowing them down can make them too boring and situational (just look at total war)

Relic arn't retarded enough to make the same mistake twice right?

Aren't the commanders they're releasing for coh2 all pay 2 win as fuck though?

What's the best RTS of all time and why is it AoE 2?

not really user. It's more about giving the players more options we've been asking for.
Like usf having another cover/house answers and Russia getting some form of paratroopers.

yes

aoe2 is overrated.

What are you talking about?

All of the commanders are pretty well balanced right now, and you don't NEED to pay for them, you unlock them just by playing multiplayer. It might take a little while to unlock ALL of them, a few hundred hours probably, but you can also purchase them using in game currency, not money, and you earn in game currency by playing multiplayer.

I don't like the system, it's not perfect but I've had all of the commanders unlocked for ages, and I still find myself using some of the earliest ones you unlock as they're all well balanced for the most part these days.

Also, they're releasing 5 new community commanders in a few months which just finished undergoing testing. None of them will cost anything.

dow has always been a beta test for coh

CoH2 at release was a product of the whole THQ bankruptcy fiasco though.

Right now as it stands CoH2 is one of the best RTS games Relic has done, and it's far superior to vCoH with all the added features and mechanics it has.

Why is the USF so op in 1v1?
Why cant lelic take off that Allies cock and start nerfing them?

CoH1 comes across as unbalanced because for a long time (like 2-3 years) PAK38's were OP because they were bugged, among other things. Kangaroos were OP resulting in 2 years of "clown car brits" and PE were underpowered compared to Wehr.
A patch finally sorted that out but it took them way too long.
Also at low levels/MMR people think Brit/Wehr blobbing is an unbeatable, bullshit strategy and they're unaware of the advantages/disadvantage of each faction at higher levels of play.

Yanks need to dominate map control, flank constantly and try to end the game as quickly as possible.
Wehr need to hold their ground and slowly build up momentum or hang on for dear life with a good Medic bunker until they get out a King Tiger, Tiger or some vet2 Panthers.
Brits/PE play like the yanks but have a hard time vs snipers, flamers and their reinforce costs are higher.
With Brits they'll generally go Commandos most of the time, but if their early game sucks and they're losing the Engineer corps can get some early off-map tanks in to try and get out of a shit situation. They go arty for team games a lot of the time, or just depending on the map (Semois for example, an arty corps mortar can fire from across the water thanks to the extended range).

Overall I think Brits and PE infantry reinforce costs could be reduced slightly, or Wehr's Grenadier reinforce could be raise or their armor nerfed slightly but overall it's a well balanced game.

Pic related: I'm not a good PE player but this chart is basically how to play PE vs the Yanks

JUST DO IT UP

>t. couldn't figure out build orders.

Soviets > OKW > USF > Brits > Ostheer in current state (1v1)
In team games Ostheer is better though. They are making some balance changes to bring Ostheer back in line (buffing Ostwind and Stug).

I think USF is much better than it was a few months ago, but in general balance is probably the best place its been in a long time.

Do you remember a few months ago when OKW Jaeger Light Infantry was seen every single fucking game, because they were 250mp, spawned from any building, were better than volks, etc?

HELIUM MIX OPTIMAL

if you think having a single viable, very difficult to pull off strategy against easy spam into ubeatable OP is balanced you are mentally deficient

tell that to the guy that has his boar spawn behind a line of trees

and pic is another good PE strat.

For Yanks, go the old SAS strat (5 Rifles w/ fast Bars, mines and map control), 5ES (a hipster Engy flamer strat that's good in some instances) or rush an early M8.

For Wehr go defensive with a medbunker, vet2 grenadiers and some pak38s or rush Pumas & Terror doctrine, finishing up with a KT.

Nah but i remember years ago when they usrd to kill every inf in sight due to their rifle upgrade.

I do too user, I'm more recent biased though, I haven't played DoW1 in literally ages.

I guess I mean multiplayer if I'm talking CoH2 though, since Relic has so many other great single player RTS games while CoH2's single player is forgettable.

The only fucking thing blizzard did right was probably the Coop mission. There fun even if your not into rts games.
It's also the most played mode in the game rn and honestly I can't stand the gookclick mechanics build into the game.
I don't know why they didn't keep the automated mechanic they added in the beta and why they removed so many interesting units they added either.

Ardenes assualts kind fun though user. I'd say it's not as good as the brits/werm campaign in coh 1 but it's still pretty fucking fun.

I was mainly talking about the standard Soviet campaign, I never did play Ardennes though.

this is just koreans being retarded about starcraft because its an entertainment industry they control

Compared to SC2 and AoE2, its less apm intensive at a mid tier level. Unit micro is much more important though, but even the micro is much less spammy than SC2

Whats unique about COH is that unit positioning with the environment and what angle their facing plays a big part, so you have to be hyper aware of what you're opponent is doing and where key units are

Honestly, it depends on what faction you're playing.

When I'm playing Ostheer I'm constantly bitching about Grens not performing well, and my Panthers getting bad RNG and out-ranged sniped by Jacksons.

When I play USF and I'm constantly pissed that my Riflemen cannot handle Volks except by closing in on them and losing health in the process. That said, getting them BARs fixes this, and it's only really an issue at the start of the game.

Also I always get pissed by how fast volks throw incendiary grenades, the animation is so fucking fast and it can be hard to dodge it.

Good thing USF have great artillery options....Oh fucking wait..not they fucking don't.
I have to relie on my allies while my men do all the fucking dying or rush those fucking faggots before late game so I don't have to worry about my lack of ARTY.

Eh, the Calliope is getting a buff, and in addition the Priest is pretty damn good right now (as is the Sexton).

The Pack Howie is still wonderful, and the stock 81mm mortar is a good second unit after a first riflemen.

The one thing USF lacks is a static artillery piece.

60 posts will we hit the bump limit, hopefully someone makes a new thread so we can continue the discussion.

look-how-they-massacred-my-boy.gif

>I blame them for this. Some nigger was complaining that the wolverine was op because it was cheap and fast.
I think a lot of it has to do with Axis commander units usually being worse than Allied commander units so they assume that all commander units the Allies have are OP. This of course completely ignores that Axis and especially OKW have much better commander abilities on average and have stronger base factions overall.
USF and Soviets live and die on the commanders (UKF less so), OST and OKW don't.

>not using your pack howis and priests

I only play USF but yeah Grens perform weirdly and underperform at times.
That's really the only thing the jackson has going for it user. Hence why it's fair.

>Eh, the Calliope is getting a buff
Yeah I fucking love those things. So far they look reasonable.
>Priest is pretty damn good right now
Too expensive user. That gas could go for another jackson to keep the panthers at bay. Although the couple of times I could afford one they did pretty well, but if you seriously get a sexton first and not you know get actual fucking at your fucked because the second the enemies see that thing there going to fucking kill it.
>Pack Howie is still wonderful
Every time I use that god dam thing it never works out well for me. I have a hard time getting rid of simple placements with the howie. I'll give it another go but man I love that mortar carrier. It's actually pretty fun.
>The one thing USF lacks is a static artillery piece
Lol I covered that. Check up there user.

What it sounds like to me is that OKW is badly designed and needs to have volks turned down but something done to prevent ultra-lights from completely fucking them in the early game.

The Dodge truck nerfs make me want to fucking die.

I would like to ask if anyone knows the name of a game, it was full 3d and had lumber as a resource, it was set in a fantasy setting I remember playing the demo sometime around 2008.

Trust me, the pack howie is such a wonderful weapon, I use it very often, especially since I mostly use the Recon commander (one with Greyhound, airdropped pack howie and airborne, cluster bombs).

It's great to counter OKW, counters Le IGs, counters their HQs if they push them too forward, counters and outranges ostheer mortars, etc.

The Calliope last year, or maybe even earlier than that before it was nerfed was absolutely amazing, it wiped blobs with easy, but they toned it down way too much and it became useless. Now they are buffing it again back to a moderate state though.

Hmmmm thanks user ill use it more, and see if it makes a huge difference.
>The Calliope last year, or maybe even earlier than that before it was nerfed was absolutely amazing,

I think its actually pretty good now. A lot of people are still mad that it doesn't quite have the same general potency of other rocket arty but the Calliope is meant to get in close for a medium sized bombardment area, and if you do that its pretty damn effective

>Greyhound
I've had more than one person rage quit on me after I came up and slapped their AT gun's ass with canister shot.

Yeah, it's my go-to USF commander because of the versitility.

Also, always get zooks on the Airborne squad, they become a monster AT unit with them (like panzergrenadiers but better) since the bazooka model on airborne is pretty much equivalent to a panzershrek with better pen / damage.
Everything in that commander is useful too, the only real downside is the amount of ammo it requires to be useful.

>the bazooka model on airborne is pretty much equivalent to a panzershrek with better pen / damage
It's a small thing but I'm happy that they're adding a little icon to let you know that the support para's have super zooks. Took me forever before I learned that.
I hope they do it to commando brens as well.

I have played EF though, and while I think its one of the better mods for CoH1 I think that the Soviet and Ostfront factions are a little bloated in terms of design.

I found it interesting how the little icons exist in HD for every unit, but you never get to see them at a good resolution.

Would you even want one in this age?

Because Emperor's cutscenes were kino and the game was fun. I love the aesthetic of the games and setting and I've loved the series and books ever since I was a kid. I want Emperor but HD.

Why did the first movie get panned so badly in the box office.
After reading the first book I decided to just read a summary of the rest of the story and watch the movies. From what I can tell it's moderately faithful.
Is it that the movie going audience never picked up the book or did the film cut too many corners and should of made it several sequels long to get the full story?

the film is a bit of a mess in all of its official releases, but there is a remedy:

Stupid motherfucker that was patched ages ago

the patches have only made things worse

fun fact: the supreme commander engine is named the "moho" engine, referencing the tier 2 extractors from TA

Fun fact: Seraphim is the best faction.
Also i didn't know that. Neat.

>random mish mash of all the best stuff from the other factions
>OP in general
>best

Seraphim are literal race traitors. UEF is the only way to be.

FACT: The old Earth Empire did nothing wrong.

You're thinking Aeon. Seraphim cant be race traitors if they're another race entirely.

I wish they would show up Alia as a childbride consuming her marriage haha, just a joke bros.

>oppress the symbionts and use them as slaves
>nothing wrong

Is anyone else still optimistic about iron harvest?

gave me console vibes and i would rather have a straight ww1 game

If iron harvest succeeds maybe more companies will jump on the rts bandwagon.
So yes also I want to stop fucking play CoH 2 and wait for 3.

Hey if they want to abandon their humanity that's on them, they don't get human rights anymore.

Hope has been lost real fast once gameplay started to come out. Looks like a worse CoH.

You're right, they perform twice the amount of calculations any human can. Why have silly human rights when they are greater than humans. If you don't want to coexist then you will die like the rest.

>posting the biased small guide

Lol

Oh fuck that looks intersting. Are we finally getting basically a 64 bit version of MoW? Fuck call to arms.
>Yo devs give a 64 bit mow please
>nag them for YEARS
>instead the make CTA
>it sucks no one plays it
>poeple start porting mow content into it
>the devs send cease and desists to the mod creators for copyright
>all the Mow to CTA mods get taken down
>the devs ruined the only real selling point of cta which was that it could serve as a de facto 64 bit Mow

this is the dumbest shit ive ever heard

They can. The Way is a religion of peace. The seraphim you fight in the game are a warrior caste that have abandoned enlightenment.
