  • I played one of the many games that was recommended to me as being similar to Supreme Commander, and discovered that this watered-down no-money take on the formula actually drew me in in a similar way to the real deal. So here's a commentary on the campaign, and some other stuff, from Rusted Warfare!

    The Battletech mod for this game is really cool.
    For the base game - the AI in this game - both for units they build and targets they attack - seems to be pretty random. Which is more fun than a stale, steady trickle of the same old units, but it's groan-worthy when it sends a fat squad of interceptors when you have precisely zero air units and have always had precisely zero air units.

    • @OffyDGG

      Yeah that randomness ends up performing well, keeps you on your toes, but also the fact they will happily take impossible fights keeps it easy in the supreme commander vein. Simple and effective!

    TBH, no "units on a map" strategy game should have stunning graphics: You want clear, high contrast, recognizable icons for all the gameplay elements. Everything else is distracting visual clutter. 90s graphics are more than sufficient for that. 3D-rendered chess games were all the rage for novelty at one time, but the chess engines that actually get used by serious chess players are super-barebones graphically, you don't need 3D to distinguish between a king and a pawn.

    • @killerrabbit3206
      @killerrabbit3206 Месяц назад +2

      Agree. IMO, some games get too flashy that they turn into distractions for the player. Plus, in RTS, I’d be too busy micromanaging a bazillion units to even zoom in and appreciate the graphics. As long as it’s not an abomination graphic-wise, I’ll play it 👍

    I think the AI is designed to not use its full economy to avoid performance issues when you have multiple AI players fighting on a mobile device. It's not that they don't have enough buildings (they will build a lot of factories if there's enough places to expand to), it's that they aren't using their factories 100% of the time.

    • @OffyDGG
      @OffyDGG  Месяц назад +1

      That would explain it. I wonder if they should have added the option to disable that, since I'd love to see what happened if the AI just unleashed everything. I noticed it also doesn't build many fabricators, so if it would do that also, perhaps the dream of managing to get rusted warfare to lag could be achieved!

    Odd.
    Ive never looked up a video for this game, even though I've played it quite a lot, and yet heres a video for it in my recommended on the Home page.
    I remember back when this game was purely a mobile game several years ago, as well as when they started dabbling into modding stuff.
    The engine the game uses is unironically one of the best ive ever seen for such a small game, taking thousands of units on screen before the game begins lagging, and with there being no definite unit limit for the base game, as well as most mods, things cab spiral into quite the insane level really quickly.
    The only thing I can say against it is that the AI isn't really that intelligent.
    Ive had several games where the AI, on the hardest difficulty no less, sends small waves of units against my defenses instead of overwhelming them in a massive wave.
