well, this is genuinely helpful, amusing and actually enjoyable to watch keep one the good work

Brutes are great! If you aren't flanking with brutes you aren't playing Infernals right!

Comparing Gaunts to Exos is yeah... needs a whole lot of context. Gaunts vs Lancers is the dumbest thing, basically impossible to get enough Gaunts to kill a single Lancer. And those Lancers will make you lose quite a few Gaunts before you get in range of any Exos to actually deal damage to something that might turn into a fiend. While Gaunt's infest is snowbally and all, it really only works if you can actually get a few fiends out to prevent Exos and Lancers to micro backwards. Like I dunno what this interaction will look like in the future. Exos with their speedbuff micro can just out micro infinite Gaunts, Brutes and even Magmadons as long as they have room. Really the best way to beat a Vanguard as Infernal is to rush them before they tech to Exos, or to macro to mid game, and hope for a base race. An Infernal will just never beat a Vanguard in the midgame. In the late game you kind of have hope again once you get a Dragon out. Tho Exos can just shoot that down if you're not careful 😅

Get a dog out as a spotter and just move your army around to clear all the camps. You can even get a bunker with buzzsaw in your luminite if you think you'll get outflanked. But there's really no reason to not constantly occupy ur army with clearing creep camps. Also 3 base and 2 rax...? Build more rax and even if you have no therium, still build lancers, they're great at eating dmg for your exos. If you can get a few dogs to grab their creep camps, even better. You're giving up too much map control.

aw man I love watching Argents blow up Lancers. It's so satisfying 😅 Something the game still does not communicate at all are damage types. I'm pretty sure the Argent's attack while it has energy is super strong vs armored and Lancers are armored. Yes Exo, I've watched a few pro matches and the Infernals they tend to get a lot more fiends early than I thought was possible. They help a lot to cut of retreat angles so your brutes and gaunts can actually fight the Exos. With Celestials Argents are still good vs lancers. Vectors give great map control. When I play Celestial I just double Starforge right away after building a creationchamber which I will not use right away. I then spam vectors. And I am then very much relying on the money from creep camps for the rest of the build. Creep camps give so much dang money. I play in gold league at the moment and Vanguards here never creep. And that just gives me a huge advantage in both resources and vision. I feel like Vectors alone already rek many players at this level, but if you're dying cause the Vanguard decided to attack with lancers and exos then make sure you have some bomb nodes at home, they are really strong vs Exos. Ye that dog at your base was infuriating, you need to go out and creep, you can't let a single dog stop you 😅 Doesn't matter if he sees you, for one it gives him more to do by microing his dog to safety (attention is a resource like you said) and for two if you see his army just retreat. You'd prbly get a few free lancer kills in the process. O ye, get the T2 mothership asap. It gives you that beam me up scotty ability which just instantly clears a camp. It's INSANITY! Best ability 😆 Ye that's my 2 cent. u got dis. I love your attitutde btw, that's exactly how you approach an RTS. Keep an open mind, it's a puzzle 😆

Thanks for this. I’m new and feel so lost when I play

does the autocast of de debilitate ability target units that are already debilitated or not?

Just got my ass kicked playing as the Celestials. I'm still trying to find out which faction is gonna be my main but so far they've managed to get me interested in the game.

I didn't realize that fel boars count towards Animus. I'm a bit confused about Animus in general actually since the Shrine says that friendly units that die near it create animus. Does that imply that not all units dying give animus? Or do friendly units that die near a shrine give bonus animus? Another thing about the Hogs I realized the other day is that each hog gives you 2 supply. It's funny when you have a wall of meat farms and as you get attacked you lose all the hogs to the attack and you can actually watch your supply limit go down as you lose hogs. You then get it back as they respawn from the meatfarm.

Cool content :)

I mean... Infernals early expanding vs Vangaurd is crazy awkward. I dun wanna let Vanguard tech to Exos without harassing them. They're just gonna make an invincible deathball if I let them do that. EDIT: k wow, that Infernal made way more stuff than you smhw. But his Magmadon use is the same as mine. I pretty much moved away from any tier 2 units and just spam tier 1. I just don't think any of them are any good. Hexen tho, they're interesting, those Venom mines might have potential.

Hi, are you only going to cover StormGate or are you open to covering other up and coming RTSs. We are an Indie Gaming Studio creating a new RTS as well. 👍

The fast late game is kind of good for Infernals. Since Exos still require the biolab, so they're still tier 1.5 in that way. But Infernals can get their Magmadons and Hellborn out faster which can maybe be good. I really dunno how to deal with any amount of Exos, nothing can really deal with them except a Flailing Dragon maybe...? Never got into that position tho, I imagine it could still be 2 shot by 10 exos xD I really want some kind of splash dmg on the Infernal side to punish a cluster of Exos. The dmg from Infest is kinda laughable, I haven't tried it too extensively but from what I saw Miasma and Hexen mines just get healed off by medics ez. And ye, Weavers are an awesomely designed unit, but I just don't see a scenario for them to shine, they suck in an army composition, all they're really good for is give shroud back to allies and tp out when they're out of mana xD Maybe they'd be deec as a drop. Adunno. I agree, the slimes and oozes not giving money felt like an intentional choice. I wonder if all camps give money now. Great stuff in the patch, very exciting 😀

Can you do one for infernals pls?

Why the structures in game dont look like the video preview? They would be soo much better, instead they look like crappy toys! Frost Giant, please fix your garbage graphics!

Nobody cares about this game. The biggest RTS dissapointment of the modern gaming era.

lol this game is new but looks like it was made in 1999. Looks awful.

this is the worst rts game i've ever seen

ye SC2's meta is very rigid. Mutalisks are incredibly niche. You can basically never build them. Terran has so many splash anti airs and Protoss has Phoenix... Reapers were nerfed so many times, thanks Byun. Banelings and Widow Mines, are fine imho. It's just Terran creep. Conceptually I agree with the Baneling's design. It's just a cool interaction forcing Terrans to split their marines. The greatest flaw in SC2 in my opinion is how important the Queen is for Zerg. I hate having to go mass queen but you have to in every matchup. It's the main reason I don't really play. That and Infestors are just.... there's actually a hundred small and medium sized reason's I don't play SC2 ladder 😆 Infernals v Vangaurds tho. GG. The current patch is prbly different now. But the way I play now is: I think it's bad to play Vault first honestly. Brutes get owned by Exos so hard it's not even funny. And as long as a single bunker exists you basically can't risk moving in for a kill. I double Conclave every game and get Vault later for Luminite sink and Magmadons. My control sucks too much to not get Hellborns, I get them killed every time, I stopped building them. So ye, early Gaunts with upgrades into Magmadons to at least attempt to deal with mass Exos. Once they have too many Exos, it becomes a crap shoot for me. They get to the point where they one shot Magmadons xD

I nvr played any EA game competitively. Maybe RA3, but I pretty much only played it with friends. EA games never had a long lasting and easy to jump into ladder experience. I never thought of any of them as easier tho. I mean in Tiberium Wars I found it frustrating how easy it is for Nod to harass tiberium collectors with rocket bikes. They are so exposed and nothing is as fast as those bikes. Tiberium Sun I really only ever played on LAN back in the day 😆 Ye Stormgate controls like a dream and it's got great creative ideas for units among the Infernals and Celestials. The Vanguard are the Soldier76 of races pretty much, just so SC2 players have something to jump in and play right away. For accessibility that's prbly good. Tho I do hope we get a few more more interesting units, I feel like the Celestials were given the coolest stuff so far 😆

I posted my first Celestial ladder experience and commented over it. It's a goofy game. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6Taeqyon5imp5Ysi=93nTSb5j0DRrAbvW It's about the same length as this one too I still tend to watch on x2 😆

Nice, ye, I play Infernals and I love all the units except for the Hellborn, that thing is impossible to micro if you're a select all army addict like me. I feel like the Celestials have so many units that look like they're flying but are actually not. The Animancer I wasn't sure for example, I really wanted to come up with a build where I just go double Conclave and spam Gaunts with upgrades and then get a Spire and get shadowflyers to take down prisms. The Luminite collectors only fly when they take off I think, they look like they're flying over a Luminite mine xD I think my favorite Celestial unit is the Cabal. It has a reverse gravity lift so the targets go up in the air. I thought this would smhw combo with some air superiority fighters but the Celestials don't have anything like that. All their flyers seem to attack ground as well or sometimes only ground. You can also take over an Imp or Bob and make a base with the other faction.

Thank you for making this! Celestial play/ function significantly different than the other races.

I don't know why, but my comment keeps get being deleted... I would really like to test stormgate in early access with one of your keys.

Holy shit this game looks so bad.

Those tech tree images are great. I was looking for something like it. Where do you find them? I checked the stormgate website you linked in the description but I guess maybe they removed that image. Prbly not quite accurate anymore with the new patch. I hope they make more soon. Great vid ^^

Playing against Celestial last night, I don't understand anything about them lol. Thank you.

The Celestials are about ruining the game by Right-clicking your base into their base and winning the game. See last nights games from Parting.

dude, this music is way too loud and and annoying

Awesome breakdown!! Can’t wait to see where this game goes!

Stormgate!! Love that game.
