you say that like it's a bad thing
>DoW did with game mechanics and animations syncing together, what virtually no games now seem capable of

WTF happened? If Homeworld 3 isn't a huge step-up, the strategy genre as a whole can get fricked
>he doesn't know
bruh, BBI laid off over 20% of their work force last month, including a big part of the HW3 team
Funny considering DoW has that massive desync between units getting shot and actually losing HP. But they got if from using CoH's shitty engine so it's not even wholly their fault.
What's not heroic about giant robots?
I bet the bad guys are pretty damn jealous of your cool giant tank anon, while they're stuck with the stupid giant spiders.
Tanks are cool
>scarab defeated by the endless horde of odst drop pods
Many such cases
I remember playing Halo wars 1 with my friends when it came out and me and the same friend would always be a. Covenant team and spend the whole match biding time so we could build as many scarabs as possible. Fun memories. Other friends didn’t like it.
>one faction gets a giant superunit with cool abilities that can win fights single-handedly
>other faction gets a big transport vehicle
Dawn of war
Red Alert 2
>Red Alert 2
And Generals, and Cnc3
They also get terminators.
Terminators are cool.
didn't play the game, but sounds kino
but only if:
>it's either the most durable unit so that it can be right clicked to enemy base and survive all anti air defenses to drop off a squad of handpicked units
>or the fastest unit so i can carry slow units to frontlines/backdoor super easy
This "big transport vehicle" is the most durable land vehicle in the game, can serve as mobile hq and is the only vechicle that can transport super-heavy infantry.
Frick man, necrons are fricking cool in that game
>Good guys faction gets a futuristic sci-fi super weapons
>Bad guys faction gets a nuke
Endwar.
The US gets orbital kinetic rods, the Europeans get an orbital laser, and the Russians get...a thermobaric warhead.

You better not be dissing my Fatboy

I've never played SupCom, I just hear it's a turtler's wet dream.
Only against AI. PvP if you don't spread out you get fricked on resources more than in AoE2 or SC, because there's no worker limit so you can mine the whole map at once.
This game looks like two sides playing a tower defense against each other. All unit spam and no micro.
yea im not a SupCom fan myself, more of sc/aoe2 guy but i still think it looks cool, shame actual gameplay is starring zoomed out looking at icons representing units lol
People who actually play against each other do micro. I've watched some "competitive" gameplay and you can juke bullets and outrange and shit.

A machine to project the user's own self importance, to look majestic and scary and sow fear only among those that are helpless to fight it fight it.
>good guys just get a giant tank
A machine focusing on battle practicality, created to fight and destroy the other machine that was created to project the user's own self importance, to look majestic and scary and sow fear only among those that are helpless to fight .
Sounds about right to me.
>giant tanks
>practical
Yea the future wars will be just swarm of drones coordinated by an AI.
>moving the goalposts
They more practical than a lumbering giant mecha.
Not really, they are just a lumbering giant target.
WW2 Germany was known for its ridiculous tank concepts that very much existed as-

>The starter unit for most factions is cheap and moderately useful
>This one faction has it cheaper while being just as good so people spam it
>This one faction has it cheaper but it's so dogshit you can't use it
>the super unit is actually a moving building with enormous health, insanely powerful armaments and can transport a small army but get's insta deleted by siege units
>All super units are underwhelming garbage too
>bad guys have a super unit that eviscerates all your army on sight
>good guys don't have a super unit, but here are hard to control and very specific unit that might do some damage
it allows the bad guy to be memorable
if the good guy had something cool too il would make the bad guy less.. unique.
>game has superunits
>singleplayer balance isn't separate from multiplayer balance
>multiplayer balance updates gradually make superunits absolute dogshit
>singleplayer and multiplayer balance aren't separate
way too many games do this

That's a red flag for strategy games

Awful.
Tru dood
what rts is that?
You just described Planetside 2. Amazing.
>unique special unit is countered by basic trash unit
Tank
Beats
Everything
>other factions get a giant transport vehicle, a giant tank, a floating pyramid, a giant dude made of fire or a big frickoff dinosaur with a fortress built on its back or a giant demon
>you get a big chicken
Was that the Tau? Heh.
I never thought of that thing as a proper relic unit, since clearly neither did the devs
Granted, the ork one wasn't much better in later games in my experience
Tanks are cool homosexual.
>enemy uses cool spell that doesn´t exist in the game
>DLC hypes up a new enemy, stronger and more dangerous than both factions so far, forcing them into alliance
>his gimmick is that he just uses units from both factions
