    Grabbed this when you first streamed it. It was.. okay back then. Recent updates have made it truly enjoyable. This is what so many "RTS + Shooter" experiences try for. Red Solstice does a great job at the Twin-Stick Shooter + RTS style and is another one of the "labor of love" types.
    Also, you're thinking of a Neutron weapon, not a MOAB. Moab is a traditional HE explosive.

    Interesting. The disease at play reminds me a little of the plague from the book Stranger by Simon Clark. The disease was referred to colloquially as 'jumpy' due to the late stage symptoms before someone turned (long incubation time before you went psycho), and the end result was called a 'hornet' for both the extreme aggression and the tendency to form 'hives' out of masses of infected jammed into a single small space. There was a psychic/hive mind element to the whole affair as well. The hives, BTW, didn't spawn more hornets. Their purpose was far nastier.

    MOAB would easily destroy a few city blocks local to the detonation point. It would also have the effect of a hyperbaric bomb, of sorts, by creating a massive high-pressured air blast. When confined to caves and tunnels, such as when it was utilized in Afghanistan, those pressure waves pretty much shred humans, or at least destroy enough of their anatomical structure to kill or severely wound them.
    A neutron bomb would be the one which "melts" organic creatures with ionizing radiation while leaving structures untouched. Of course...those hypothetically emit an isotope with a half life of about 50 years, so in 150, 200, 250 years we might be able to reinhabit those structures with a safe degree of radiation exposure :D

    • @owensthilaire8189
      @owensthilaire8189 8 месяцев назад +2

      And so called 'neutron bombs' are in fact just an atomic weapon but with an increased gamma ray and neutron out put.
      So still very destructive. The heavy gamma ray pulse upon explosion was intended to penetrate tank armor, injuring or killing the crew and the neutrons rendering the tank hideously radioactive and so not recoverable.

    This game is one of those that focuses mostly on gameplay and things like UI, graphics (not in the traditional HD sense but clarity, units and buildings are hard to see from far away, no outlines or ) or QOL features. The gameplay is great, however it needs much more technical support to truly shine. The co-op feature sounds really cool, more games should utilize unilateral co-op features like this.

Some games will use uniforms and building colors to be distinctive, which you have done with some buildings being yellow. You could also have a building list on the side of the screen, showing health bars and snaps the camera to them if you click on them similar to the squad list. I'm no game dev, but I hope these tips are helpful.

The flame throwers of scientists are awesome as well. But it also showed me a problem…sometimes your soldiers can attack enemy buildings, sometimes they can’t…..

I can't remember the name and it's probably dead by now since i played it at least 10 years ago.

      Yes, and the idea that "concussion damage would wipe out organics and leave infrastructure intact" is non-sense, because ALL explosives create a shockwave, if anything, the more powerful their blast, the better they are at damaging structures, it is impossible to produce a shockwave powerful enough to inflict lethal blast injuries on a whole district without leveling half of the place at the same time.
      I think he simultaneously confused a Neutron Bomb with a MOAB and also incorrectly assumed they worked through shockwaves instead of radiation bursts, lol
      Also, even a Neutron Bomb would damage structures in it's vicinity, it IS a nuclear bomb that is detonated in atmosphere, there IS an explosion, it's just designed to minimize structural damage while maximizing heat and radiation output.

    Splatty a MOAB is a gigantic fuel air explosive. I think you mean a neutron bomb. I agree though on the tactics in this case. I think this is the only case to use a neutron bomb.

    If only these devs didn't blow so much money on garbage fluff like actresses and editors to make their minor updates sound substantial, or justify their team vacation to San Francisco for the sake of "realistically modelling the city", or deciding later in development that a first-person mode would be fun even if less refined and detracting from the RTS gameplay... The idea is solid but the devs seem more interested in doing anything but finishing their project.

      We still use these pictures to this day for texturing for world environments and helping us understand how the city is layeyed out in terms of scale. Typically, every single developer visits the city they are trying to recreate to do it justice. We do the development videos for those that don't follow along on Discord it's a nice way to keep the community informed. I edit all the videos myself, so that's free, lol.

    A few things to mention here. The machine gun in the towers is referred to as a 249 or pronounced two-four-nine not two-forty-nine lol. Secondly a MOAB short for Mother of a Bombs will definitely take out buildings and pretty much anything else. The military designed it mainly to destroy bunkers deep underground so I think you are talking about a different kind of bomb when it comes to just destroying people and not the surrounding infrastructure.
