D-DAY Landings against NEW AI in this Indie Strategy game | Line War

[@theShermanator]

OCTOBER UPDATE - NEW VIDEO WITH TEASERS/INFO FOR NEW CONTENT: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXTHaaxvl86isNU Thanks to the devs for partnering with the channel; I've legit had so much fun with this- don't be surprised if you see another Line War video down the line, it's been very refreshing! I hope you all have a great Weekend! !Get Line war today! lurk.ly/4K32nX

[@raptorhacker599]

this feels like some fresh air in rts without micro intensive gameplay but a more fun strategic focus

[@jaumesinglavalls5486]

it's exactly what it is, I play it since the demo. And I like it a lot!

[@Kesen2003]

It’s literally dead. I bought it a long time ago and it’s been dead ever since. Can’t even get matches.

[@Animorph89]

You should try again...there's a Lot more Player online now and also they added AI

[@Skeletonmanthesecond]

⁠@@Kesen2003You obviously we’re not in the discord. I got it last year in December and I always had someone to play with!

This feels like obvious paid advertisement lol

[@tranquilclaws8470]

Been looking for a RTS game that doesn't require immense multi-tasking and APM for a while now. I think this is the one.

[@theShermanator]

Id say it took me a couple hours to get really used to it, but yeah APM on this is low (at least in PvE) it's definitely different from most other RTS's Ive played!

[@kaisercortex4115]

@@tranquilclaws8470 I also recommend Dune Spice Wars but that can feel a little more 4x than RTS

[@jonathanj.3695]

There are a few fun RTS games that don't require high APM skills that I know of: * The Command & Conquer series * Tempest Rising * WARNO * The Steel Division series * Regiments * Broken Arrow * Terminator: Dark Fate: Defiance * The Great War * Mech Commander series * Supreme Commander series * The Annihilation series (Total Annihilation, Planetary Annihilation, Industrial Annihilation) * The Great War * The Homeworld series

[@tictacterminator]

youre looking for an autobattler the big popular one right now for PvP is Mecha Bellum btw

[@th3kgbdog385]

Also check "regiments" out. I think It would suit your needs pretty well

[@MaximilianoAedo]

This is the closest to an RTS game based on the Ace Combat universe that we're ever going to get.

[@singularityraptor4022]

What is blud yammering 😂

[@theShermanator]

if we got a mod with some names/models I could kinda see it, now just need Strangereal lmao

[@justinsantiago9555]

Ace Combat is a series of arcade flight sims.

[@MasonHolub]

Is line war a pc only game

[@RoonMian]

Unfortunately for me it's still too close to "realistic modern military"... Ever since my own involuntary stay in the army those kinds of games, as well as replaying historic modern wars, make me a bit uncomfortable... :( Which is a shame because this looks really awesome... If it had lasers and spaceships I'd be all over it. Edit: As I look at it closer, it might be astract enough for me to enjoy it...

[@Jorendo]

The guy who made the models for this game also runs a youtube channel were he teaches people who make models in blender, you can find him under the name Imphenzia.

[@theShermanator]

Oh thats actually really cool

[@Animorph89]

One of the best RTS games i've ever played!

[@theShermanator]

Its genuinely very fun

[@basantoslinewar]

Hi Shermanator and everyone else, It’s been a true pleasure to see the success of this video and the positive response from the community. It came at a time when I was feeling a bit down after the AI release didn’t meet sales expectations, but this video truly lifted my spirits. Who knows-history might even say it marked a turning point for the project. Thank you all for watching, and a huge thanks to Shermanator for creating such an excellent video! Sincerely, Basantos

[@sodaquackers]

4:12 😯 I've been playing Line War for years and didn't realize planes could respond to entrenchment commands! Nice vid!

[@Shinyellowaffle]

@@sodaquackers IKR!!!!!

[@Kesen2003]

Wtf you mean you been playing for years. It’s dead. You can’t even get a match. Only matches I could get were in demo and right after release. Couldn’t even get a match after 30 minutes of waiting like 3 months ago. Dead game.

[@Daseabneren]

@@Kesen2003 Just not true. Been playing almost every day for years. 2.000 hours. Currently playing official tournament, and at this exact moment 103 online players. Is it a big player base ? No, definitely not. But it’s 100% not dead.

Okay dude I got an idea. imagine lasagna. And now imagine lasagna, but in 40k! It would be so much better! I almost get wet just thinking about the smell of Henry Cavill standing in my kitchen, making me the new 40k lasagna in ultramarine blue.

[@andrewstevens1316]

While I missed the sale, I still bought this game and have been enjoying it so far. There’s definitely a learning curve, but I had never heard of this and it fits nicely in a niche I never knew I needed. Thanks for covering! Very entertaining as well. Would love to see you play it again.

[@theShermanator]

Happy to hear it Steven, will definitely be covering it again soon!

[@fightingfortruth9806]

This looks like my dream game. Always wanted a RTS/4X hybrid game with a slightly slower, more strategic pace.

[@ZimaZino]

[@jamesscalzo3033]

Loved the video @theShermanator! Can't wait for the next video man! Line War looks like a Cross between Axis & Allies and Hoi4, am I the only one who sees this or am I Crazy? Great Game either way and can't wait to see more on the Channel man! Also, Aircraft Carriers are Great to provide Additional Air Support for your Forces. U.S. Navy Maintains a Policy of having no less than 10 Carriers at any given time, since World War Two. I did also get a Hint of "ICBM" in this with the Nukes though. Let me know what you think about this and I'll catch you in your next video man!

[@THE_UNKNOWN8888]

Yooo that's the most interesting war game that i ever heard, and i might need to find that game as soon as i get a pc, because i am a death to the enemy in every strategy game

[@TransformistZ]

You gotta play Beyond All Reason!

[@theShermanator]

Never heard of it before

[@nobodymissesphilofthefutur8237]

@@theShermanator it’s very similar to Total annihilation but with a more updated engine. Handles large scale battles very well with a lot of quality of life improvements that make it easier to handle. Try checking it out if you’re into it; it’s cool to play and amazing to watch

[@dles921khp]

Zero K is also worth it as you can draw lines and units move into lines.

[@micastewart7209]

So cool to see a VS Computer mode on this game! It might finally be time to play it.

[@adbp1513]

You should do some Wargame Red Dragon some time, its an old game but still very alive and fun, especially against friends.

[@theShermanator]

I love Wargame, might do some!

[@CausticSpace]

Broken Arrow will save us from Eugen

[@adbp1513]

@@CausticSpace Doubt it, the demo seemed fun but the multiplayer beta was unoptimized and unbalanced as shit with ZERO pacing.

[@CausticSpace]

@@adbp1513 Key word: Multiplayer Beta, the base is fine it just needs tweaking, and like 50% of the units were missing, like Drones for the US. I myself quite enjoyed it with that in mind instead of expecting a complete game, much better than Warno by a large margin.

[@grahamhill676]

Basically the Light version of Beyond All Reason

[@theShermanator]

I can see it

[@haydencannon7751]

They Beyond All Reason if you have not, it is truly a peak RTS with a strong PvP community. It is coming to steam soon and will be successful

This game feels similar to Starcraft, just because of the player vs ai part and how you can scale ai. I remember my dad and I would play against the zero with our two respective factions.
