      Played this a few years ago and it was sorta ok, pretty neat for an open source indie RTS etc

      Gave it another crack yesterday to see how it's plodding along and it's now fricking 10/10 and a nigh on perfect blend of Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander.

      Highly recommended.

        People were complaining that there weren't enough units but that didn't bother me. DOK had like 15 units per faction albeit they all perform more or less the same roles. Rock, paper, scissors type of balance suited me. And I really loved desert maps for some odd reason. Also using carriers as your main base and a weapons platform was so good and satisfying to use.

      DoK had the best campaign writing since starcraft 1. It felt like you were actually part of an organized military operation and not just some plucky group of rebels fighting against the whole world to stop the ancient evil from destroying everything else. Very refreshing to have concrete objectives, a logitical support element, and supporting forces.

      wow that shadow realms section is hurtful, besides SC and the C&C games the others I wouldn't describe as irredeemable
      Planetary Annihilation was hurt more by drama and weird design decisions than anything else, and the fact that it just gets beat out in it's subgenre by the titan that is supcom. There's a lot of good feature ideas, and adding the space level is interesting, and even the super weapons are fun the first couple of times before the game wears out its welcome.
      Grey Goo was a nice attempt at a "classic" RTS just as the genre was entering the dark times, though it was certainly too little too late. Maybe aped star craft a bit too hard, but they tried some things and the campaign was serviceable at least.
      And CoH2's problems were more "meta" with the DLC and microtransaction BS, and the game itself got its shit together eventually before Relic fully fell off a cliff

        RUSE had some cool ideas but it was ruined by some poor design flaws and "you have to win the game in X amount of time or all of your resources run dry.
        it was more like a sector control tower-defense game where your units ran down pre-set routes and you used Ruses to feed your enemy false info to bait him out (decoy divisions, blocking his vision of an area etc)

        So fricking tiring. Why do people insist on making the same shit over and over for decades. It's one of the few reasons why AoE4 was bad for me, because it was closer to being just a cheap AoE2.5.
        The last one on the pic is also just a new version of an older game but at least that one was unique and hopefully new iteration is going to be an improved version of it.

          I think you have high expectations. They are remaking the game in a new engine so they will definitely end up cutting corners and censoring stuff.

            we'll see, old AoM still works fine and I don't play it anymore anyway, but it would be nice to know that quality stuff is still being made

              I still have the CD for AoM. The installer used to show unit information slides, it was really cool.

    I am so mad at EA and Westwood because Command and Conquer: Generals and Zero Hour are the only RTS games I want to play against custom AI and the fricking thing is coded so horribly you get a random mismatch (ends the match abruptly) even in an offline singleplayer skirmish.

                He's not wrong about typical RTS "macro" just being "don't forget to queue units" which is entirely pointless APM bloat.

                "typical macro" is not an excuse, BAR has shown just how much better RTS can be if you do without such archaic design limitations and focus more on overall strategy, map control, economic balance and micro

                and then you have Zero-K which has even more and better mechanics and tools to let the player focus on things, rather than having to zoom around and babysit moronic units and base expansion

    Esports has ruined AOE2.

    I tried it out a few months ago when it was on sale. Even the in-game tutorials now teaches you how to execute build orders and target certain times for age up/units built etc. The MP is basically 100% no fun allowed, you will do the xbow/knight spam or you will lose. Even though the game is largely the same, the magic just isn't there anymore.

    I guess the campaign is still kinda fun even though I've already played through all of them in the OG edition.

      I'm surprised Sega hasn't closed them outright but I guess they're hoping for Homeworld 3 to turn out go... oh, wait. Relic isn't even doing Homeworld 3. Honestly surprised they haven't just closed them in that case. Maybe they have some remaining contractual obligations with AoE4?

    Outside of blackbird I have no faith in any modern RTS developer. The best I can hope for is a RA2 remaster from petroglyph which I'm half convinced they will frick up and outsource it to some Malaysian art farm.

    Has there been any news on more C&C remakes? Seems weird they would pick the most boomer entry then skip the shit everyone actually wants.

      Didn't EA manage to throw away the development material for RA2 just like they did with the Bladerunner game?

        Both EA and Microsoft regret closing them. Looking at Microsoft now scratching at the dirt for absolute shit tier developers is sad. EA's entire history is criminal yet Westwood stands out as one of their worst crimes.

        If only they could have seen how rare and valuable good developers are, they only appreciate them when everyone is gone and all the money in the world now buys them teams full of pay check collecting grifters. I resent respawn for allowing themselves to be bought and revive EA, they were 1 step away from facing the consequences of their actions.

          Westwood was also multi-talented. They weren't just a one-trick pony game dev who only excelled at one genre. Real fricking shame what EA did to them and pushing for C&C and nothing but C&C later on its studio life.

          You could try shadow tactics or desperado 3. They are clearly influenced by commandos but they are not very subtle or serious like it.

          Desperados series giving me some Commandos vibes yeah. Will check those out when a sale comes along.

          I hope that their sins will haunt them and their gaming ventures falter so that we can have better, more competent publishers and decent developers back again. Here's to a dream that the Golden age of RTSs will be reborn.

      from what i heard it was pretty good, like Diablo 2's remaster.
      is it worth the $5 it is on sale sometimes?

        It's one of the few remasters where I've sat on the new graphics nearly the whole time, and it does the thing (which all of these should do) with the realtime graphics toggle. I love the remaster, although you'll have to excuse their attempts at AI upscaling/smoothing shitty low-rez interlaced 320x200 source videos since they couldn't find the uncompressed originals (they actually tried to find them). Wish they just kept the option to play the original vids since the game install actually includes all of the OG game files in addition to the new ones, so they could have simply pulled from that.

        Other than that, it's a 95% faithful remake. Near every single quirk/exploit/bullshit-AI thing is in there, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Main highlight of the package is Klepacki remastering all of the music himself. Fricking hell it still sounds fantastic.

        The only thing I can say is if you've never played C&C1, it might feel dated compared to the RTS to follow it. The AI cheats (as it did in the original due to bugs), and once you learn certain strategies/setups, you end up abusing them because the game gets unfair as hell later in the campaigns.

    This is getting ridiculous. Why does every single current day devs get the RTS formula do wrong? They keep adding unnecessary mechanics and delete necessary ones when the RTS formula had already been perfected back in 2000s.

      RTS is a strange genre where all the tangentially related or successor genres blew up and became mega popular but the source hit a brick wall and died instantly.

      MOBA, grand strategy, 4x, srpgs all thriving while RTS is permanently ded.

        Isn't grand strategy also glued to effectively 1 publisher that has 3 well established series and everything else tends to implode?

      I had this exact same experience and thought I must have played the wrong fricking "Northgard", because it is absolutely mobile tier yet heralded as some great RTS for the ages.

        This is a huge cope post. The point is none of the shitty clones or iterations are even remotely close to being good. Hence they are considered as dying or dead.
