PiG absolutely loving the casts of Stormgate and the speed with which they are coming out. I almost feel like im in 2010 in the StarCraft beta. All I need now is something akin to the Day9 daily.

I think the game has immense potential, the devs are doing lots of things right that SC2 failed at.

On the last video I saw a comment about how this game just repeats the problems of sc2 while not doing anything new. I think its really funny how much the rts community can see one game and take away the complete opposite conclusions.

I think one thing the game is doing better than starcraft is better worker to army ratio. In SC2 you don't get rewarded too much for taking bases beyond 3 because you can't saturate them without it cutting too much into your army supply because max is too low. In Stormgate you always get rewarded for taking more bases pretty much.

Definitely one of the best SG matches I've seen so far. It feels Steiner just didn't do enough to punish the early 3rd base from Jadozer. From the play at 1:10 we can tell Steiner's SCOUT micro is strong, so I would have liked to see him build a few more dogs to spot that greedy expansion sooner and harrass it. Jadozers early economic lead let him take a really good fight around 8:30 that snowballed the game. Jadozer was able to keep the pressure up with Sprigands and Dragon picking off undefended bases, meanwhile Steiner had zero harassment after his first dog until like 16:50 when he brought out the Hornets, but at that point it's too little too late.

My biggest challenge is those great hotkeys. I just keep trying to micro bobs, when I don't have to. I was grouping my racks before even realized you can just build from hotkey menu. lol. Old habits die hard. These high levels really do show what's already possible.

@Vertrucio 3 ай бұрын

You know, I wasn't sold on the slower combats of Stormgate at first, but now I see it's fast enough when you get large numbers of units involved. Whereas in SC2 everything would just explode on contact in bigger fights. The hellborn splash damage seems really, really weak though. But direct impact damage is solid. I guess the devs are being cautious with the splash for massed engagements. One thing I still don't like is because there's such a reliance on melee units with medium speed, all that shuffling around and kiting from WC3 is back and that just felt bad. Compared to SC2 where zerglings were usually fast enough to stay on units, and zealots didn't need to be fast as they backed up the range units, eventually getting charge too.

Pig you should do an early mass air (hornet) build order. Get a few lancers to defend and then just pump out harriers. I'm sure you could get the timing down better than me. You can't sleep though cause mass exos or hedgehogs will counter.

@alwayssupporttouhouproject6726 3 ай бұрын

I find it's best to go 2 base, wall in, build the 3 hangers in the farthest corner of your first base where your opponent won't scout, and move in when you have 6 Hornets.

@PiGCastsTwo 3 ай бұрын

Sounds like a fun idea. I haven't been able to consistently kite down the shadowflyers yet but maybe if I get good enough at that micro it'll become super viable. The shield is so damned good for tanking multiple shadowflyers or tanking whilst blasting through shroudstones so it pairs up super nicely with the hornets

@Bagginsess 3 ай бұрын

@@PiGCastsTwo good idea with the shield. Also if you macro well enough to create 16 hornets you can split them and harass one base to pull the army then use the other half to attack another base. 8 hornets should be enough to kill a shroud stone.

Balance will be a secondary thing during this stage of development. Non the less, there are some really good Vanguard players that almost lost no games to Infernals. The main thought right now is that Infernal is just a tid easier to play early game, so they often get ahead and then win. But if Vanguard gets the early game Infernals are kinda dead it seems. Anyway, with how rapid the game is evolution this might be the other way around next week, let alone when tier 3 units are added, or the 3rd race.

@@dialaneog715 Is there any high-level game where Van beats Inf (other than taking a map with cheese)? Would love to see one to see how that plays out. If there isn't a single match, though, I'd say that's straight up borked and not just a balance issue....

Just played my first match against AI. Cant wait to sink some hours into this. I really hope they do something about the overall controls for the game though. It feels like little to no progress has been made with actually manipulating units. It feels so handicapped compared to Beyond All Reason, the control you have over hundreds of units in that game is vastly superior to these old clunk starcraft 1 based control mechanics, I cant understand why no one else had adopted what Beyond All Reason has accomplished. Its like trying to drive a car with a joystick versus a steering wheel. If your gonna drive a forklift then its fine, but if you want to rip down the highway at 80mph then your want a steering wheel. Please tell the Devs to do something, we cant go into 2024 and have made no improvement in the control mechanics of RTS. If we want mass adoption then we need to update these old clunky A-Move commands, and no ability to shape battle formation without box clicking or adjusting individual units.
