    I remember this game. It was clunky as hell, but there were some cool ideas and factions. The Hierarchy was probably the most unique faction I've played in a RTS, I don't think I've seen anything quite like it afterwards.
    Also the opening cinematic was impressive for its time.

      @@lonksnek I think having a human faction would have ruined much of what made it a unique game. It's like practically the only sci-fi game in existence that has humans in it where they are not center stage, how about keeping it that way for once? Besides, the story made a point of how useless humans were compared to everyone else, it wouldn't have made sense for humanity to be able to 'fight back' in any meaningful fashion.

      honestly Planetary invasion should be the hardest part in the game, Controlling the Space around it is relatively easy, any orbital targets can just be targeted by rocks, but actually taking a planet? that'd take a lot more effort especially a well built up one with Billions of people, it'll take a LONG time and a LOT of investment to not just Take, but also hold,
      you need to rebuild infrastructure, set up a planetary governor, pacify or "Rectify" the population, hold-outs need to be rooted out and squashed, Basically it'd be XCOM 2 you're looking at as an invader,

    later sent 2 armies in, they died.
    sent more armies in waves of 2 per 15-40 days.
    and i think like 1 primitive army was elite 2-3 were Veteran rank (never had one myself) and the rest were experienced ranks.

    Its a shame the dev's never got the proper amount of time to fully develop it, they were pushed to release it half a year to a year early so as a result the entire human faction got cut down into a story based mini faction/npc's. There was a mod a few years ago that restores the human faction as it was at the time of being simply buried in the game files and they are insanely over powered. They had a smart missile artillery system that when deployed 2 of them could take down one of the large 4 legged heavy armored walkers in about 10 seconds without it even getting in range of any of its weapon systems.

      @@blackradar4175 Somewhat, the Humans in game are in effect on their own home world which it turns out Atlantis was a real thing, this is revealed in the 3rd campaign.
      The start of the game takes place in Washington DC where the US military is trying to evacuate the president etc and during this mission its revealed that South America is basically gone, the Chinese and Russians have been devastated and the US along with a handful of others are holding out.
      The alien antagonist faction that is invading was originally uplifted by the Atlanteans then went genocidal. During one of their genocides they wiped outa high teach race who created autonomous self sufficient reproducing robots/ai, this being the Novus who come to earth as part of a guerilla war campaign against the main enemy.
      As a result the humans are stuck between 3 alien factions fighting each other in what turns into a 2 on 1 fight with the Atlanteans and Novus fighting the bad aliens. With the Humans allying the Novus and then the Atlanteans.
      Earth is basically just a proxy conflict between various alien species.
      The human faction it self if you unlock it with a mod is highly unbalanced, the Apache can insta kill any ground unit using hellfire missiles while walkers and super units can get bullied by large groups of marines and at infantry, their artillery system, I think it was going to be named the Basilisk or Hydra? It fires swarm of 12 missiles at once that within a few barrages can obliterate literally anything in the game.
      An interesting note, half the planet gets effectively glassed in the last campaign. The antagonist have a super weapon and it fires 3 times during the campaign, glowing up all of western Europe the middle east and I think India? The entire focus at the end becomes eliminating this purifier weapon and then taking out the BBEG.

The other FE is the synthetic one, and I prefer to leave them alone (especially since I got the Cybrex precursors this time around, so it could be interesting if I get Contingency), and I need to get dark matter tech from someone. Fortunately, the empire in between is no longer friendly. I vassalized the empire they were eating, and apparently they didn't like that. And they have what's likely the system that gets you the miniature galaxy relic, two jumps from my territory. I just need to get ships there before they finish the project. And I'm trying to build up enough to take out the wraith that's going to appear just inside my borders (not to mention Shard, who's blocking the shortest route to get from one side of my empire to the other). So I'll have the firepower.
      Though that empire isn't really a factor anymore, as the shortest route to Sol is through another empire I have wormholes to that is also no longer friendly, and I already needed to go through to capture the only L-Gate (medium map, to reduce late game lag). The issue is the damn humans becoming spacefaring before I get there. Or nuking themselves into oblivion. They're currently in the Atomic Age.

So I just I imagine like Achilles shouting HECTOR at the gates of Troy just like the movie right before screams of terror emerge from the city and the xenos burst out the gate and the indiscriminate bombardment from space begins.
    I also find it funny these brutally traumatised bronze age people are immediately shipped out to foreign planets barely habitable by them and immediately put to work in the dark matter reactors and things working on technology they couldn't possibly comprehend. "You made pottery? Good, now you make warp drives" But hey I guess it could be worse. If those fanatic robots invaded for example they wouldn't even enslave them, just extermination.

      I can recommend the old sleeper hit Sword of the Stars, which works like Total War; strategic turn-based management on the map, but when forces meet at a planet, it goes into a real-time combat round. With auto-battle and whatnot if you aren't feeling it, and it's just space combat with all attacks on planets being resolved by surrender or bombardment, but it gives you that dynamic of not just watching numbers go down.

    Theres a neat workshop start where you start as primitives, and dont get space faring tech until someone starts to invade you. So the entire time you are just focusing on your homeworld, growing and building your technology (including weapons tech that can be used on ships).
    Eventually someone invades, And you either turn to Tomb world if youre not strong enough to destroy the invading armies, or you beat the initial invasion. Which then gives you the space faring tech in a lore friendly way (you stole it)

      Not a mega warform story, but back when the game was alot newer, i lost an occupation force of about 3 infantry armed with drones and 5 or so defensive armies to a sudden tomb-world vault if mutated terrors. The colony was completely wiped out but i send every fucking actuve infantry and built about 3 dozen more for an invasion.
      There was probably 70 total. Very much overkill but alot of fun just destroying those little mutant bug primitives that thought they had pushed back the invaders.

    It’s at least understandable if the invader is a machine empire. You expect violence from giant, mobile, war machines.

      bit of context, the humans in that cutscene were already stretched too thin because they needed to get the president to safety, fight off like 7 of the giant walkers and most of the tanks, jets helos and special ground troops like flamethrowers and marines were helping cover the retreat for the presidential ambulance although the novus introduce themselves right after this scene, focusing and anihillating one walker in less than 2 minutes
