Rts thread. Post obscure and underated things like pic related
>>
Well I'm sure it doesn't qualify as obscure or underated but my friend just gifted me Rise of Nations: Extended Edition recently and we've been having a lot of fun playing it. Reminds me of Age of Empires meets Civ. Not sure how I missed out on it back in the day.

I'm not an RTS pro or anything, mostly just play the campaigns and custom games desu.

Not really.
Its soul lives on in superior MOBA games.
>>
>>324118658
I'd try some interesting new mechanic I think.

Not that I have anything against the originals but there's a need for some originality I think.

The other night, I was thinking of a propaganda/uprising style RTS. The primary resource would be recruiting civilians to your cause and secondary resources of arming them with revenue sources. It'd take place within an urban area and players would seize control of objectives like banks and tv stations. It'd start with most citizens neutral and would end in urban combat between militias armed to the teeth.
>>
>>324118795
Fair enough. I guess to actually answer your question.

I'd make a Total War-like game with the sole purpose of lighting a fire up under CA's ass, I don't care if it's better. I also don't care if it's not an RTS.

Guys mind helping out? There was an RTS that I played as a kid and somehow lost the disc to it.
You could either play as the Aliens or the Humans, you got resources from lava pits if I remember right. The Alien resource unit had a big brain that would fly up if it was collecting resources while I think the human resource unit was a moon rover or something similar to it. I also remember that the humans could get a cyborg. Oh and you could only upgrade your base and buy buildings for it, so no units for building.
>>
>>324118658
I'd like a WWII RTS that approaches sim levels of autism (something like close combat for those of you who have played it), and instead of training units you have to request them from off-screen and your request will be accepted/denied based on the enemy resistance to stop you from building a huge tankmass and blobbing your way to the enemy HQ.

OR!

A modern warfare RTS where you have to deal with whiny journalists who get uppity every time you accidentally call in an airstrike on a hospital because your intel was off.

Thinks about it, Moba cuts out all the filler shit of having to build up an economy and jumps straight into the action, not only that but you can play it with 4 other friends, while RTS is usually 1v1.

Moba is the superior genre unless you're a friendless aspie.

I think it's the units and yes the Com's variety is better too.
I like how there are spiderbots with entirely different tactics from the tanks or cloaky bots. And it's not just their base(as in the ability to scale walls or jump) but their means of attack. That amphibious(or was it hover?) gauss thing penetrating rows of enemies and the spiderbots' dumbfire rocket unit or the EMP spider.

Every shit is different and it's so cool when your team works together with different factories supporting each other.

I want to make a RTS that controls in 3D. It takes place in some blame!-type megastructure, right, and by scrolling in and out you don't zoom in and out, instead you move up and down throughout the map. The map is divided into levels, not discrete like the over/underworld in HOMM3 for example, just a 3D map that is sliced into sections to control easier, you can still have ramps and such, but the terrain is designed to be controllable. The control elevation sets the prioritized level of control, not the absolute, so if you want your unit to jump down from a large height you don't have to scroll to his level and select him then scroll down to the ground and tell him to jump, you just click on the guy far up and click on the ground below. Units that you have vision over would display an outline throughout any terrain.

So you can have units on one floor of the map, and then you scroll down and there's a floor below that also has units, and there's a stairwell somewhere that units can walk up and down between floors(dynamically, it's not a garrison-type portal), and there can be holes in the second floor so units can reveal the 3D fog of war and shoot at each other.
Or there could be a large (like 20 meters) vertical wall, and units can be knocked down from it, and take damage proportional to the fall distance, or they can jump willingly, but not jump up because they lack jump power, or certain units could walk on walls so they can navigate that way. If you have a motorcycle-type unit you could ramp it off ramps, if you have a flying unit it moves to the point you order it in the current selection level, if you have a small unit you could sneak it through smaller spots, like vents. Basically any form of action by a NPC possible in a FPS game or similar would be possible by a unit here, and the map geometry could be practically anything as well. Would be a tactical RTS like DoW 2 though because supcom-scale battles in a complex environment would be weird.

Like two weeks after LotV was released, it had around 2000 viewers on Twitch.

I hate to break it to you, but the Starcraft franchise is dead.

I wonder if it would have been different if they had allowed LAN play, so that there would have been a larger fanbase of the game from the start (with people from poor countries who pirated the game). As time goes on, the lost revenue from a few people pirating should be offset by all the additional people playing the game and watching esports, like in Brood War.

>What is this? Is AoM now getting expansion packs too as well as AoE2?

Yes, They're releasing the Chinese. They've only shown the human units so far. Standard Cho ko nu and halbardiers. And several cavalry units (light, heavy, ranged). Only myth units we've heard of are white tigers and terracotta warriors.

Comes with a campaign which isnt related to fall of the trident or new Atlantis. Though i don't think it will be that great.

Theyve worked with some of the high elo players for balance.

Kinda sad what happened to the game. The multiplayer community was great, and the multiplayer features (active clan scene/features, well featured forum, fully featured player profiles etc) were really fleshed out too. I feel like having 20 minute games with that rock-paper-scissors balance was really comfy but got old eventually, especially when they'd play the same maps over and over.

A part of me kind of died when all Massive Entertainment did after the ubisoft acquisition was make assassins creed DLC and far cry 3 co-op modes, I'm happy that they're doing The Division but not sure if they will pull it off.

Each skill-tree set differs from faction to faction, the skills are not connected and do not require investing points into previous skills, and allows to freely choose what stuff you want to invest into (in fact you only need to acquire a level and the particular skills get unlocked).

It was super popular back when it first came out but then the base building fags killed it.
They made up shit like RTT designation, threw shit at the game and so, despite the Soviet Assault improving everything, most people never got it because they were turned off by the bad word of mouth from those alphafaggots (I understand liking different things, I also prefer games with some base building but what people pulled off here, spreading doom and gloom about the genre dying out to consolified RTTs to harm the game... that is just inexcusable faggotry).

Add to this branchings based on the decisions you made and in what sequence you undertook the missions, then it would impact the story.

>You choose to destroy the base, yet the mission where you have to destroy the lab starts with the enemy having better, more powerful parts for their Combots.

The game is simply 6 fucking years old by now.
Even Brood War died out outside of a few thousand hardcore fans in the west in a matter of about a year and a half, completely dying off when RoC got released but 4 years later.

These guys seem to delude themselves by believing the game has always had a massive population outside SK or that it can be kept up indefinitely just like WoW.

If they actually had any actual competition, the game would have been dead in the water by now.

WARcraft clone. It's a painful attempt to ride the Warcraft 3 popularity. I've spend hundreds of hours on Kohan 1, and I've quit Kohan 2 after a few tutorial missions. The art style alone was hideous enough for me to cringe (I still maintain that Warcraft 3 is on the list of top ten ugliest games ever made, and Kohan 2 managed to somehow look similar yet worse).
When I noticed how much the guttered the core expanding mechanics, I just gave up entirely.

Darn. Forgot about that part. But seriously what were they thinking? What devs think it's a good idea to alter a game with unique mechanics to look like a SC/WC/AoE clone? These practices is what killed off RTS in the first place.

But if you want an RTS that looks nice, try out Armies of Exigo.

It's fantasy StarCraft (not WarCraft due to the fact that the mechanics are much similar with StarCraft) with really sweet models and some nice extras.

Did that old master drive game Megalomania count as an RTS?

>>324117920
There is one RTS from my childhood that I can't find anywhere.

Similar to C&C Tiberian Sun, it featured a leveling system for each unit and you could carry the strongest units to the next missions. I have the feeling this company went bankrupt since I haven't meet anyone that knows this game, and it's not in wikipedia RTS list and other abandonware sites. It's a mistery, this game came for free in CD magazine that had nothing to do with games also.

>But seriously what were they thinking?
From what I can tell, Kohan, very much like OP's Original War, just did not get any praise from the mainstream journo's and critics. I don't know what exactly it was with game critics and RTS, but I don't think there is any other genre were quite as much injustice was ever done to great games by shitty reviews from shitty critics.

The company did not have that much faith in the game, the publisher was probably hesitant to greenlight it, untill somebody came and said: "See Warcraft 3, and see the amount of dosh they are making! Do that and you should be fine."

That is how it generally goes with cases like these.

>>324128932
That description actually fits more than one game, in fact Original War in OP's picture being one of those. How about you give us a setting or something.

>>
>>324128213
>Bullshit, back in 2003-4 it was the most played game on the internet even ahead of counterstrike.

I call bull unless you give me a proof.
During the age of TFT, DoW, CoD, Halo 2, UT04, etc.
And do keep in mind we're talking about west only. If it got ahead of CS1.6 worldwide it simply means that Eqstern Europe couldn't be bothered to count all the net cafes with hundreds of thousands of CS1.6 addicts every day.

>I hope Starcraft 2 is selling well, I really want a Warcraft 4.
It's not. Which is a shame, because ignoring the insanely terrible singleplayer story, Legacy is actually really good.
But it's not selling, and I suspect it's what somebody clever already noted here: One new unit per fraction and a story campaign so terrible that even the writers themeselves admit they just could not be arsed is not enough to sell the damn thing.

So SC2 is done and went out with a fart. Legacy isn't selling well. Everything that is worth playing about SC2 (some of the mods, including faithful recreation of original SC1 and Broodwar) can be played on the free-to-play version.

Blizzard is going to focus everything into Overwatch (and Heartstone, but I don't think that takes a lot of work and resources) now.

In other news, Act of Aggression was a flop, world of Goo was a flop, Planetary Anihilation was a flop. The genre is dead. And it's not just because of MOBA's - even those who constantly proclaim how they wish there were more RTS games don't actually play them when they are out.

And frankly, the genre was always weird as fuck, with some bizzare quality standards and bizzare userbase.

Theres a rts game I saw a trailer for when I was younger. The premise was angels vs. demons with humans stuck in the middle. It was set in the medieval age. I cannot for the life of me remember anything more then that but it looked amazing.

No, it's not bad. It's in fact irredimably god-fucking-awful. Each SC2 campaign was worse than the last one, TLV's being so bad even the most hard-boiled fans of the series were mad.
Mechanically, it's good. The mission design and stuff is cool. But the story is insanely bad, which is particularly painful considering that origina SC had at least fantastic atmoshere and settings.

I made a drawing a long ago for asking, I kinda gave up.

The graphics were similar to Tiberium Sun, if not better, An isometric RTS game with futuristic units. Pic related are the units I can remember, the truck is an AA vehicle that kills everything and has a massive range, about 2 screens away so it was hardest unit to deal against.

The missions were timed, usually from 1 to 2 hours to complete. Each units, including static defenses gain rank by attacking the enemy. Max rank is S totally OP, stronger units takes longer to rank up even after a dozen missions it's rare to reach S unless it's a weak unit. You could select which unit you want to bring to the next mission, they were essential to complete the later ones and maybe the only way to kill the enemy static defenses.

There are some other things I remember but, the tower defense that shoots a green laser is hard to miss. I haven't seen any other game that has a similar static defense.

>>324130112
>And costed several hundred million dollars.
The most expensive game to ever develop has been GTA V, at $265 million, including marketing costs. An expansion to a RTS game did not cost several hundred million dollars to develop.

this is was the attack patron of the tower. However if a single enemy unit comes in range of this tower then it changes the patron and concentrates the green bream on that unit only, killing it way faster.

I think you need to look into fortifications, son. Having parts of the fortification separate from the rest is quite a useful way to wear down the attacker without exposing the overall integrity of the defences.

I love the Blizzard from back then.

And then they took AoE's bottom bar for Starcraft and.... switched the map to the other side.

You can capture unattended artillery and civilians but when it comes to unguarded buildings, the troops will only set them on fire.
You can capture unfinished building sites, that is including towers that are being upgraded.

It's a visionary game and it simply missed the mark as to where the tech will go.

They thought the second core is the only thing we'd add to the chip and then return to upping the speed of the cores because of diminishing returns.

Turns out, Intel doesn't want to invest into new technology and so they simply kept adding more cores at the expense of rather limited potential.

That said, they're not the only ones who thought this.
TW2 based Total War games will also slow down to a crawl dunig certain effects even on the fastest consumer grade PCs because they thought the power would come in the form of faster cores, not more of them.

And those 'balance patches' are meticulous and often insanely-unbalanced piles of bullshit designed to appease to that hanfdul of 'top level' players regardless of what the rest of the playerbase thinks. Nevermind the fact that those balance patches are done completely for free by a volunteer team of players because Skybox is too lazy and they want to distract people from the fact that the game has huge issues running, won't perform well, multiplayer doesn't work properly and every match ends with a sync error.

I'd say the campaign is really creative and plays with your expectations and the RPG side it's really complex, i've yet to finish spellforce 1 but i have over 100 hours of play in it, it's definitively worth it.

>And those 'balance patches' are meticulous and often insanely-unbalanced piles of bullshit designed to appease to that hanfdul of 'top level' players regardless of what the rest of the playerbase thinks.

It's kind of a universal problem with RTS games balanced by "Pros."
Brood War had 2 balance patches in total (that is counting the expansion as a patch and all the patches of the original as well).
Had they listened to Koreans, the game would have been changed a billion times over before 2006 or so when they finally found out how to play ZvT.

Meanwhile, Starcraft 2 is "balanced" by pros at the head with the guy who was repsonsible for DoW1 balancing.

No, players are not the ones who should balance games.
That should be designer's job when making the whole damn game piece by piece.
>>
>>324121173
Where was the picture taken? It's comforting to my autism.
>>
>>324137493
>They still make these games, right?

No.
The only thing was a certain expansion they found the source code for after they'd acquired the studio's assets.
The second game is more of a generic RTS, anyway.

I always loved RTS games that emphasize on the real strategical aspect of it, where planning is more important than repid clicking noises in the distance, so I will always recommend Total Annihilation and Alpha Centauri, I think they are pretty obscure since they are old as fuck and nobody wants to fucking play them because MUH MMR MUH BROOD WARS.

I thought this was known since forever, balance is always done by other people even in the highest real life sports, a game that is balanced by the players will never be a real and fair competitive experience no matter how much they cry about it.

Anon, if you want strategy, you just play turn based strategy games like Go.
If you want it in real time, you play grand strategy games.
RTS is simply a name for the genre but it's not really descriptive, just like a fighting games need not contain every game with violence ever made.

such a cool etting. there is nothing as cool as technology vs magic
>>
>>324137495
The real issue is that the developers usually don't care to re-work a bunch of code and mechanics to appease the 0.1% of gamers that think the game is broken because their lightning-fast clicking leads to a gross imbalance. Big picture, 'fixing' a lot of those issues would make the game be perceived as imbalanced by the other 99% of players.

It's very difficult to design a game that scales well with skill level. The Pros will say that you balance the game assuming perfect play, but sometimes playing at that level to maintain balance is so difficult that it will seem like the game is imbalanced.

the first game of CoH 2 i played against real people, my team mate was OKW.
my enemy was US and they just blobbed me. he just spammed GIs and pushed the point over and over.
oh i know, i'll get MG to counter. oh wait, no, the blob can just flank it, oh he's bombing my statics with white phos while blobbing.
there is like no counter to that other than fighting his blob with my own blob and i refuse to play that.

that is why i don't play competitive. you're ALWAYS pigeon-holed into doing gay tactics. sorry, i don't want to spam Grenadiers and pioneers every single game, it takes away a lot of fun.

maps are important and favor strategies more. like arty is obviously good on the spaced out ones, with ton of open ground and out of reach resources.
towns, cities, etc favor close-quarters and flames.
open maps favor snipers and vehicles.

if you go arty, you better be defending an important fucking point, either a CP or fuel, so you can just destroy anything that tries to capture without suffering man power.

everyone hates CoH 2 because they removed the sapping/arty metagame, where you could GG people by blowing up their base. desu i kinda miss it too.
