Reclaiming Is The Way To Go (BAR Road to Rank #1)

[@YurGa1980]

12:02 The rocketbot shooting down a clump of shuris was hilarious. That's the kind of thing you only get in physics simulation games.

[@manixburn6403]

Highly unexpected but decisive.

[@IceXuick]

yes indeed!

[@dvdbradford]

Loving the BAR content!

[@Darksiege357]

Reclaiming is the way to go, but you didn't reclaim a single thing this game lmao

[@Trong117]

Not sure if you know but there is a key comb to make it so that every unit of the kind selected will come out the lab already hotkeyed. So you dont have to assign them a hotkey each time they come out the lab. Not sure what it is, but i am sure you can find it in the game.

[@jakemdunn]

Alt+number to auto add that unit to that group going forward. Alt+`(back tick, next to esc) to get rid of that unit type from that auto group going forward, Ctrl+` to remove just the currently selected units from any auto group.

[@Tolken00]

nah, auto groups are bad in 1v1

[@Badosureinhardt]

Really enjoy your BAR 1v1 videos, thank you for posting them!

[@ldlework]

I was reminded of Neo from The Matrix, because with BAR, once you start to believe in scaling, you don't need micro because you are streaming production rather than depending on winning specific little fights here and there. Imagine if a larger portion of this APM budget was spent scaling in the background. It would be just nuts. Love watching these please more!

[@itwasme2435]

Hell yeah

[@multicrogamer]

Scaling in 1v1 is harder

[@mrnoid9949]

2 mexes -> 1 solar, 3 winds -> botlab -> 2 reclaim bots, 2 converters (e storage possibly) is a great starter, the wind is terrible on this map, we supposed to reclaim trees to get the early eco going, transitioning into Advanced solars, fusions asap, utilizing converters while keeping the energy flowing in trough the tree reclaims.

[@leafykille]

That was mostly resurrection rather than reclaim, but resurrection is usually better if you have the power.

[@_DarkEmperor]

I build Construction Turret quite early and use Commander to help build it, so i no longer need commander in my base, this way i can move Commander out of the base toward opponent. Area Mex command on Commander is very useful.

2:51 - Here you let a 99% built solar collector unmanned, while going through a terrible energy stall. As an unfinished construction, it slowly loses the resources you invested to build it, until it completely vanishes at 3:41.

[@brianfhunter]

You only lose the energy, you get the metal back

[@CamiloCBG]

@@brianfhunter if you let the structure disappear, you get the metal back? That's odd. On Total Annihilation and on Sup Com it doesn't work like that. But I haven't played BAR.

[@Badosureinhardt]

@@CamiloCBG You get the metal back just when it decays to 0, it's not streaming. I don't have familiarity with TA but I'd be surprised if BAR deviated.

[@brianfhunter]

@@CamiloCBG - Nope... TA is the same thing, you get 100% your metal back. SupCom initially also did the same, but not anymore, it was changed some time ago and now you lose the mass.

[@brianfhunter]

​@@CamiloCBG - If you hover the mouse over an incomplete structure, you can see that it gives positive metal while degrading, like a metal extractor or something... Both in TA and BAR.

[@ДмитрийКрутько-й1ч]

Cool match! I played Supreme Commander via FAF, but it's meta devolved recently into teamplay sim-city, guess BAR gonna be a nice alternative!

[@lancer827]

Res bots do more than just res! Use them to res when you want that maximum value, but you can also just quickly reclaim the wreckage for fast cash! When you're short on time or the reclaim field is to large to reasonably res before you get pushed out of it, just go for the reclaim.

[@rhinehard206]

you're going to smash the spybot micro. Game ending unit at all tiers

[@Dba6p]

Lmfao. The way you vibe through these games is always entertaining. As much as I love BAR, too much of the content is people sperging out over perfect build orders and clean economy timings.

[@manixburn6403]

Nice to see mechanic coming, well done !

[@Humbugg22]

so cool to see Starcraft APM in BAR

[@christhomas412]

Your hotkeys might be getting messed from autogroups - they are set with alt+ the hotkey group. You may have set labs an autogroup on accident at one point and that could be messing them up while youre not looking

[@plausiblealpaca3987]

This map is great for rez bots, plenty of trees for energy reclaim. Also the wind on this map is good. Not great, but the high floor means it's consistently as good or better than solar. What kind of nonsense is your chat feeding you? You really shouldn't be building solars on this map as armada. Use your commander to build extra early wind. Rocket bots are great in sieges. They slightly out-range LLTs. They're not so good at skirmishing, though. If you wanna resurrect everything (instead of reclaim) you need a lot more rezbots. If you're happy with reclaim you only need like 5 usually, but that requires more buildpower and energy to spend the reclaimed metal. And you tend to struggle with floating metal and stalling on energy. So build more rezbots, like 10-15.

[@Rudare916]

I want to get into this game but I have no clue what’s going on. Do you plan on doing some breakdowns or build videos? Or are the creators doing that so I can catch up? Star craft won’t be here forever

[@garethsullivan1028]

There are some good beginners guides online! Drongo has some good ones, Brightworks and Winter have good content too. Definitely play, it is fun!

[@13BulliTs]

Just play the AI, the rest you learn on the fly!

[@Rudare916]

@@13BulliTs I’m one of the many viewers who watch more than they play. I haven’t played SC in 10 years. I don’t PC game at all.

[@_OpFor]

Been playing BAR against AI and its pretty difficult. AI spams defense towers and arty like crazy

[@Darksiege357]

If you've never played a game in the Total Annihilation family it is very difficult to adjust to. AI has crazy levels of micro that even pros don't always have the APM for, they have pretty bad macro tho.

[@Vipertooth007]

Just build radar and rockets vs turrets, then jammers against enemy artillery.

[@scooterman103]

I'm excited to see if you do the 8v8's :D gg

[@kingfisher1638]

Try moving ur mini map to bottom left of ur screen :)

Resurrecting should cost 4 times as much and take 2 times as long, it is way to good.

[@MrDerKnofi]

Finally another map.

BARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR HYYYYYYYYYPEEEEEEEE

[@timoschofer2035]

Is your way to rank #1 already finished?

[@BARCastTV]

IMO its kind of a blunder to not open rezbot first on a 10 wind speed map with lots of reclaim

[@joshmeyer8172]

🧟‍♂🤖

[@PenitentChaplain]

Liking your eco efficiency much more this time but your opening moves have you overflowing energy which isn't perfect.

[@Klaus2319]

gg wp dude seriosly... 2 much wind based play (5/10 is not that great), also u still dont use e-storage. try build 1 between 5-7 min in game. u will not regret it, trust me. ^^ it is not expencive and it can save ur life, aslo ur wind turbines work way better with it.

Why not play a big team game every once in a while? like an 8v8. Come on man....Dont you want more viewers? Not saying every game or every other game but how about at least 1 in 10 games?

I think he has a pretty good idea what he wants to do with his own channel, guy

[@yang8244]

@@W.E.B.DaBoys so why did you post yours?

[@spaace.938]

You mis understand, he knows why people watch him. They watch him because he is from StarCraft, and StarCraft is mainly a 1v1 game. There are many creators over saturating the BAR content creator scene so why would he try and fit in to a crowded space? He knows what his people want. Asking someone arguing with a commenter why HE doesn’t make videos makes no sense in anyway. You just don’t know how supply and demand work or how the KZbin space is.
