Tempest Sphere is a heavy and expensive unit that specializes in basebreaking but is vulnerable to the air. Source: Twitter(X) x.com/TempestRTS/status/17226...
So what you're telling me is that the Tempest Dynasty's elite units are literal deathballs? That's a bit of meta-winking to the entire RTS genre right there!
I actually love it. Come on, we've had things way out of the box in many command and conquer games. This can work if it's made of heavy elements while gaining momentum using a tempest powered engine. It requires more traction though. Maybe small spikes coming out?
Totally agree bro, needs more visuals/eye candy, looks kinda boring, lets see it spin up like sonic the hedgehog but with cool red tempest lazer spikes firing off with traction, man that would be so cool.
My tempest is rising and my balls are heavy. In all seriousness though, sometimes devs do stuff because they can, but never stop to think if they should. I don't know about other players, but i like the idea of controlling heavy vehicles, walkers, mechs, etc. Definitely not balls, especially as a top tier unit. I don't think this is the right idea. It could have been more interesting as a wildcard unit such as the terror drone from the red alert series. Perhaps smaller, faster, and with different mechanics. A support unit or special unit, if you will. The game has potential though. Cool stuff.
@@bulletprooftoaster-tt9od What makes a unit "stupid"? Is it not being realistic? Cause rts are among the most unrealistic game genres out there- and that's not for lack of trying on the others' part. We don't make tanks from a shack in under a minute all of 200 meters from the enemy.
I don't think so. Air units can easily destroy the Tempest Sphere and these wrecking balls don't seem to be very fast either. With the right tactics, you should be able to destroy Tempest Spheres.
@@alexanderbauernfeind6702 its all about macro intensive dude, you can have like 3 of these insta kill anything with attack move. You said air can easily kill these but i highly doubt anyone would use the sphere alone without any air or infantry support
@@alexanderbauernfeind6702 and if i have a few AA units (which usually wreck air units in RTS)? My problem is how tanky the thing is, how easily it rolls over (1 hit kill) and also the special abillity which makes it easier to kill your tanks
@@havel6060 they also create a really unbalanced micro issue for the opponent. When you can just click in the general direction of the opponents army, they have to frantically try to move their units out of the way while also trying to counter them with emps and swapping to air units. They seem way too easy to handle while creating a massive issue for the enemy. They are like SC2 Disruptors, only that they are also super tanky and without ever running out of time/range. Would be better if it was a single super unit a la Mammoth MKII.
Man if dev is here, i do suggest adding minelaying unit then THIS sphere as specialized mine clearing . Also give it a small laser turrets so it will look like BB-8 while downsizing its size
Those sphere must have heavy armor and motor to travel. It remind me of the indie jones and dungeon anime manga. At least people are open mind and find fun way to make interesting.
I second this! In its sphere shape it would be vulnerable to almost everything but VERY strong against buildings, like a breaking ball, or something like that. Just a ball is really boring, especially as a high tier unit.
@@Johnson09641 There are so many good ideas people wrote down here in the comments, I hope the developers take notes. I'm just upset it's just a ball... spinning... like a ball. I could be a one time use bomb, leaving a trial of poisoning gas powerful against "blobs" of units, or like a massive cluster bomb useful against blobs of vehicles. IDK, whit teleportation capabilities or invisibility or laser guns, or super jump or spikes... etc... but they chose just a ball, spinning and smashing units. It's a shame since the other units seem more creative. They described it as an expensive unit, but don't they know people love saving resources to spend on awesome high tier or experimental units? All we'll see is gonna be a spam of super boring balls that don't need any special micro, just clicking and smashing everything. Yeah they will have their counters but the idea seems boring already... as a ball player and a ball defender too XD
Lmaooo having a Dynasty unit just be b a l l e r is so funny This is definitely another incentive for me to get this game day one lmaooo, along with Frank Klepacki composing music for it!
This looks really stupid to be honest. And frustrating to fight against. This could have been a sick mammoth tank. Hoping we'll someday see these get axed.
@@Dan-bq1dz Yes because having two main cannons is totally practical and realistic. So you can have two undersized shells bounce off enemy armor. Not to mention a severe lack of space in the turret.
How about considering Tempest Sphere as MCV's transformed-upgrade unit? I can see what the intention of Tempest Sphere is. Because GDF takes more advantages at early-mid phase, Tempest Dynasty needs Game Changer units at late phase. But rather, late phase would be standardized because this unit can crash almost the whole So, I suggest this option. 1) MCV can transform into Tempest Sphere after upgrading. But Tempest Sphere can't convert into MCV. 2) Tempest Sphere's basic mechanism is same as MCV. It can crush infantry & small vehicle. 3) Active Skill: Tempest Engine. brief bursts of rush to designated target, and crushes anything smaller units in its path. Also can roll into enemy structures like a mobile wrecking ball. But if Tempest Sphere bumps into MCV, GDF trebuchet, itself or Construction Yard in its path, Tempest engine shuts off automatically I expect this game can be promising Command and Conquer sequel. I'm waiting for beta and rooting for Tempest Rising :)
For the people in here saying it's OP, let me remind you: 1. It's the very last unit you can build in the tech-tree. If your opponent rushes or goes for mass AT, then you can't even field one of them. 2. Tiny little sphere that got no air attack... easy target if unescorted. 3. Probably extremely expensive... you can do much better investments than this ball😂 4. Since it needs to get in close range it will get focused down by experienced players first before even crushing a single vehicle. 5. Seemingly pretty weak anti-building attack... 6. Since a looooot of units in this game shoot on the move it's very suspectible to kiting and can get outrun by almost anything so long as the ability isn't micro'd well
I like the concept, but I think this unit has high-risk of being OP'ed & aside from a few hard counters, can see this unit being spammed & hard to balance in multiplayer
Yeah, but also given that they're melee units, I think they're fine From the looks of the trailer, except for their charge ability, they likely are gonna be the same as StarCraft's Ultralisk - like think of it as an enormous ground unit with immense stats but balanced off that when massed they literally just trip over one another trying to reach the enemy
@@kampfer91 pretty sure intel is a GDF only resource. I suspect that they'll only be OP against things they can one shot and will hopefully not be cost efficient against Trebuchets (which they can't one shot).
@@aloe7794 They remind me of Grinder Tanks from RA3, same concept (closing in to crush / grind their target), even has the same ability (brief speed boost), but on Apocalypse class tech / cost / armor levels. They're hard countered by air, large units or EMP, and light units can harass them when they're off their speed boost. It doesn't look that unbalanced, but we'll see once people start playing.
People probably want the design to look more menacingly like the Mammoth Tank or the Apocalypse Tank from C&C but personally, it looks fitting for the faction since it uses a lot of futuristic tech.
Considering it's at the end of the tech tree, has no air attack and no range, I think it could be easy targets for air units, or the buggies and other fast light units.
Google says 2023 So the devs better be working slave labor qatar style, but man I'm so scared that this game will go the way of Generals 2. Almost finished, looking awesome, but lack of microtransactions and marketing department says kids only play MOBA's so it gets cancelled by executives who don't even play video games.
you know... for a game inspired by C&C games. I always expect that the army who uses red to represent themselves would always have a super heavy tank. and it would be called something like, the leviathan or the siege breaker. but this... this is a ball. and I know it can one shot alot of things by crushing it. but still....
it is super underwhelming! might honestly be a deal breaker for me. If they mess up any more art direction idk how I will feel! Everything else was looking so good
.... doesnt fit the theme at all and looks like a super broken unit you'd mass up regardless of the cost and just rofl stomp your opponent's army into the oblivion, infact you dont even need many of them to crush the entire enemy army. Its fun for the memes but i can 100% say its not gonna be fun fighting it in PVP and it takes out any form of challenge in PVP/E as you'd practically default to it to solve all your problems...
How's it broken, it's slowly somewhat tanky and can literally be disabled by air units. Y'all are panicking for the sake of panicking and the game hasn't even come out yet.
This game will do well at launch and the numbers will dwindle from there... ain't nobody interested in game breaking units and copy and paste art design, along with unoriginal ideas. people want an RTS game not an RTS game that lacks what classic RTS games had just with a lick of paint.
bah, this dumb ball unit kind of just ruined my hope for the game.. Looks so stupid.. Like they hired a intern whos just learning blender and made a ball model and just "rollin with it" .
Don’t let a single Unit destroy it for you. I am myself not happy with This Unit, mostly due to balance. But damn u Will never get another chance to play a new other c&c like game as this again.
Honestly any design that's not yet another tank is cool, and this one especially looks fun. It's like a heavy Grinder Tank from RA3 except it's meant to overpower smaller units and seems to have heavier armor. And having a literal deathball looks like fun.
@@haakonglindtvad5489We don't even know how the stats this unit is or will be and you already deem it to be unbalanced. Wait till the game is out to judge.

i dont like idea of tempest sphere unit
So what you're telling me is that the Tempest Dynasty's elite units are literal deathballs?
That's a bit of meta-winking to the entire RTS genre right there!
Should design a behemoth tank with a lot of armor plates instead of this nonsense rolling abomination.
Wake up Spammers, its time to ruin the fun.
They see me rollin they hatin
So a Soviet grinder but thematically less cool and makes way less sense?
It's a hamster ball.
Basically yeah
Tempest be Ballin

Wrecking ball haha

It needs to be thrown in the bin.
This is one of the most fun looking unit designs I have seen in a while, people need to get the knots out of their pants
nobody is having their knots in their pants except maybe you since you decided to suddenly get insecure.
frankly it's a change from what we usually see in strategy games, it's original in my opinion.

In Tempest Dynasty, _ball busts you_
Please do not do this. Other than being lame and potentially immersion breaking they seem extremely overpowered.
Every RTS has something like that. YR is the best game in this whole genre and the UFO units didn’t break that
Every RTS should have super weapons. This weapon according to the description will be vulnerable to air units and fast units.

Definitely will not be playing any game that has balls as units
I like it
Can't wait to dedicate 1/4 of my day almost every day to this game
Looks interesting and the graphics looks especially nice. Wanna see more super weapons showcase!
It should be a spider bot unit, that can also form a sphere to move around and attack

It literally takes balls of steel to make a Command and Conquer style RTS in 2023.
Maybe, after using its ability there should be a 3 second of not moving before the unit can move again.
