It was barely utilised in the demo with the exception of the ice plains map. Every piece of terrain has been way too thick and bulky to use, and the unit pathing is absurdly bad in general, but totally broken when it comes to pathing around terrain - this crappy pathing around objects is almost unchanged since hw2 classic, 20 years ago. Really dissapointing.

@@fear4658 I played the demo and never noticed any significant instance of bad pathfinding. Do you have any specific examples on hand?

"War Without Reason" by Heaven Pierce Her (from the ULTRAKILL OST)

Tell that to Karen herself. I can only assume that their people have much longer life spans.

@@darthbane3937 SHE lives a longer lifespan as an unforeseen side effect of her neural link with the Mothership. There's nothing to suggest her Fleet Intelligence officer from the first game enjoyed the same advantage.

@@TheAeroAvatarloved both fleet intelligence voices. HW1 was fantastic but so was HW2 actor. Feels as if we’ve lost one of ours

I think it was just for budget reasons, or perhaps scheduling. Easier to have one actor do two parts in one sitting.

Nope, it's way worse than the old game. For starters, no attack move, no flanking bonus, abilities being cookie cutter one dimensional stat boosts, selection bugs, bad UI, extremely fast time to kill, the list goes on and on. Also for the voice of Fleet Intelligence it's no longer Michael Sunczyk, idk who is the new one, but he sounds similar to Lindon Javes from the Star Wars Squadrons game.

Probably to find probes to spawn carrier that gives artifact when killed. You need to kill 3? enemy probes around the map to spawn the carrier.

The UX (UI + quality of life such as (camera controls / useless APM / units ignoring orders)) is extremely poor; the other two primary issues are the units taking silly pathing choices so they can stick to terrain, and that units in this game die in seconds. All of this breaks immersion badly, and the low TTK on units means you don't get a chance to look at the combat before its over. Wargames also encourages multiple simultaneous engagements, so you don't usually have time anyway. However, there is a fun game here I think - this demo is veeery underbaked and they don't have long to release, so I expect early patching will be essential. Under all the issues its pretty fun though! I'm excited for PVP especially. A bit worried that the two races we've seen (Incarnate and Hiigaran) are poorly balanced internally and vs eachother.

​@@fear4658 You forgot one thing....no attack move. Ships can literally no more attack while moving, gone is the red movement disc. No more having Ion cannon frigates kite away from enemy ships or swing to a super capital's side and rear, because they'll do a dumb 180 instead. No more reverse moving while firing back either. Also no more flank damage bonus (was 50% on side shot and 100% on rear) Capital ship combat in HW3 is literally just move into range, stop, and whoever has more ships or better counters win. No more tactical maneuvering.

@@henryhamilton4087that sucks

@@henryhamilton4087 They addressed this in a blog. The issue has been remediated.

Pretty much agree, especially considering how much support they were given and the time spent in development. The UX is extremely poor as you mentioned, the other two primary issues are the units taking silly pathing choices so they can stick to terrain, and that units in this game die in seconds. All of this breaks immersion badly, and the low TTK on units means you don't get a chance to look at the combat before its over.

no it was expert. pause at 0:36 before the match started.

Honestly I haven't touched modelling, fx or sound much at all - I'm mostly just a scripting and unit balancing guy The discord and karos are both good places to head for that info, there have been a lot of discussions about hods recently in fact

@@fear4658Thank you very much! That was roughly what I'm looking for... I didn't even know ToolKit existed, i've been trying to get a build of windows 7 or something in a VM so i can use old AF tools Tell me when you hit unreal engine it's fun to know code people =D

Correct, for me that was the best "fuck off" line of all the game, ignoring the warlord.

Yeah, check the help command It should be 'research grant' if I remember right

your vid on cloaked fighters inspired me actually, i thought it would be nice if people could spawn units easier

@@fear4658 Yoo Nice.

@@fear4658 Do you know what this means? I just need to learn it a bit and then there will be no race restrictions for my fleet battle videos. You have just solved my problem. Thanks

are you sure your launch options are set correctly? make sure your mod is also in the correct location... honestly it could be one of many things the discord is active so you might get better help there (im also in there)

@@fear4658 Hey thanks for your reply. I ended up going to the discord at the time in the end for further assistance indeed.

not often but still active in the discord
