I think this is my favorite game you've casted yet. felt more dynamic and we saw a large variety of units come out. Nice seeing how the celestial meta developed beyond vector spam and early game contains. I'm really liking the place vanguard is in right now. Atlas is such a cool unit, and I love seeing its shots land, and I love its derpy little walk. Vulcans are awesome units whose design offers lots of cool decision making moments, which is what you want out of a unit. their variety of turrets is so awesome, although it seems like some are clearly better than others in the current meta. Hedgehogs are really fun dynamic units. they remind me the most of mutalisks of all the units in stormgate. It feels like the faction is good at several different things and there are a lot of good strategies you can use with them. In comparison you can tell both infernals and celestials have had less time in the oven. Not a criticism, just a bit of pointing out the obvious. From this game, for example, I think the vectors and kri are both probably in a pretty good spot with their designs, but a lot of these other units aren't feeling quite there yet to me. Sabers feel clunky and like they don't have the impact their awesome attack animation would give you the impression they should. and they feel much weaker than the atlas and the hellborne, the siege counterparts from the other two races. I'm interested to see what changes those get in particular. And both the celestial spellcasters don't seem to impact the fights as well as they should for how late they come out. Although the animancer is close (and looks awesome). All in all, I'm really impressed by stormgate as of frigate, and itching to play after watching all your casts. I can't wait to play with the tier 3 units coming in EA!
I think the Celestial "tank", needs a redesign. First, having such a slow unit for a civ that has no transport capability is a long term no go, no one is going to send a unit out in the field that as soon as they tide turns they are all destroyed, that's just too risky. Further, as celestial is noted as this highly mobile type race, this unit is doubly strange in their roster.
So far, the celestial army loses because it has low endurance. The units don't have to be more durable, but the commanders do need the ability to recover cost from every attack.
@@Ge_n_Ge They have problems to exist far out in the wild , as they depend on their powergrid to fuel their cybernetics. So to have engagements far out you need to build batteries right behind the battlefield.
I'll definitely reserve judgement until the T3 reveal but I do find the Vanguard late game a bit worrisome. They seem to be a bit of the face-roll protoss-esque late-game race thus far.
100% this game has huge potential, this is before even early access stage and is already pretty fun. There's for a lot more they're working on, but from all the developer interviewers I've watched over the years, I'd be really surprised if this game isn't a massive success. 🙌 Cant wait for early access in July, great top have you here!

I'm I just missing it, or do the Celestials not have a traditional dropship? We need some Saber drop play. Their "boost" is a nice touch.
@@nicholasbarrington954 I remember seeing somewhere that they said celestials will get one.
another great game! I love the Sabers laser animation, it looks so sick! your casting just keeps getting better, too! cheers

We do need a celestials vs celestials gameplay
Celestials are currently lacking a ton of units but their gameplay is already really promising.
omg the music for the celestials is really ... heavenly :D
Vanguard looks like the most balanced finished faction in late game
There is no tier 3 so late game doesnt really exist
@@xxxyyy5080 Right
Lategame celestials needs massive buffs

@@clivah1499 should not a high tech race millions years ahead of humanity be more durable and cost efficent?

Thx for changing health bar colors!
Cheers again mate. I'm learning!
🙌 Very welcome!
Need to fix the sounds design really badly
Yeah I can imagine that will be a big part of the next update
those fights are so cool to watch
That was a nice game of VvC (?) but it seems Celestial players need some more time on it to catch up experience on Vanguard or Infernals.
The game is insane!
👌🙌
Looking g forward to more infernal play! Wouldn't mind a mirror match
How many videos i have to watch to find Celestial victory. I wanted to start playing with that race but feeling more bad this way..
Why It reminds me of star craft, war craft, and Heroes of storm.
I'll definitely reserve judgement until the T3 reveal but I do find the Vanguard late game a bit worrisome. They seem to be a bit of the face-roll protoss-esque late-game race thus far.
celestial and infernal don't really have a stable late game. Mainly because their high quality units can't heal as freely
I think the game has the potential to be great once all the assets and units are in. I will just buy the early access pack in hope they get that far

I just found out Chris Metzen is voicing some units too!
so they kind of jsut made StarCraft again or what?
Its a mix of Starcraft, Warcraft and Command and Comnquer game mechanics 👍👌
Man vulcans are so tanky.
It's Good morning to me 😅
🙌👌nice! where are you from?
@@FarmyCasts I from France but it's not morning anymore
