[@MaNaEsports]

Thanks for having me! Hope I made this at least somewhat interesting to you!

[@hakaki7280]

i hope you do well at the tournament. Make Poland the only chempion of the stormgate for the longest time passible. Polska gurom.

[@andrewadams530]

Thanks so much mana! Loved your descriptions. I would love to see you put out some build order guides on your channel if you have time. Those seem really hard to find so far. Would love a beginners guide to the maps and 1/2 build orders per map I think that would see a lot of success.

[@scriptjungle]

Thanks mana for giving us such a detailed inside :) helps alot to understand infernals better. GL with the tournament ! :)

[@keromblum]

Thank you Mana, very informative. Good luck in the tournament!

[@BrotherNier20]

Out of spite I hope the third faction will be anime catgirls. Maining that shit frfr.

[@ZoeylaRose]

would be Zerglike ya know Cats breed quickly

[@Z-000R0]

ah yes, the demonic communist vs the Ally Vanguard vs the Rising Weeb we need more Red Alert in this

[@pleasespammesomemore4436]

this q&a format is so much better to understand what is going on with the units in stormgate. great questions too.

[@Kenf333]

It's true that gameplay is the most important, but gfx can add that bit of charm to it, definitely important. I'm sure they'll work on the quantitative as well as the qualitative aspect of balance (having units interact in a unique way/s to other things per faction/race). Game's looking great, they'll probably add more things going forwards.

[@invoangelus]

Congratulations on 200K subscribers. Keep up the great content. :)

[@VictorF0326]

TIL Mana wants to be an alien that destroys human kind.

[@wolvie90]

I mean who wouldn't?

[@SimonSays-]

So this is the "warcraft in space", more than evolved starcraft imo.

[@akroo]

That's an amazing video ! I learned a lot from it ! I need a video like this one for Vanguard :)

[@CPeyser08]

This is awesome! Super helpful getting like a SC2 to stormgate translation basically!

[@Resistor736]

Yay! Educational content for the game I'm too lazy and afraid to play. Jokes aside, very interesting content. Thanks Winter and Mana.

[@godonomas]

"Mana won't break" is breath taking

[@benslade9826]

So undecided on this game so far. It looks like it could be 10 years old

[@rogue-ish5713]

Infernals are feeling like a protoss race more than I thought. Interesting. What is the 3rd race? A holy Bug race? Neko Zerg? WHAT is happening?!?

[@kyleg5141]

It won't replace anything until I can change the build key to B

[@GrippeeTV]

Or the cancel key to escape. The number of times I’ve opened the menu instead of canceling a building and slammed my head off the keyboard has given me a concussion

[@ldragodestroy4]

@@GrippeeTV you can literally change the cancel key to escape.

[@stevenhorstgeorg5728]

you can just change it bro@@GrippeeTV

[@GrippeeTV]

@@stevenhorstgeorg5728 oh no shit they changed that from the alpha?

[@stevenhorstgeorg5728]

[@gilles22]

YOU are breathtaking

[@danicule8671]

I wish I didnt have a real job and could play stormgate all day

[@Broockle]

I wish you had also explained that infest ability. I know nothing about it still but I keep hearing about it. The gaunts also have something to do with it? I mostly played Coop which has no such ability.

[@4FourBit]

eSports became the executioner of the RTS genre change my mind

[@arthuryong4968]

Can you build more than 2 flayed dragons?

[@yoshichanGAF]

I don't get the 12/12 mineral worker efficiency? I just tried it out... 12/12 = 600 minerals per minute 10/12 = 500 minerals per minute 8/12 = 400 minerals per minute 6/12 = 300 minerals per minute 4/12 = 200 minerals per minute 2/12 = 100 minerals per minute Seems like the curve is linear?

[@wolvie90]

From the night I played 1v1 with my brother in the beta, Infernal seemed VASTLY overpowered compared to whatever the human faction is called.

[@timfink7980]

Winter looks like Budget Kirby Allison Probably twins.

[@DEN2REQUIN]

hello mana xD

[@malvokaquila6768]

No game without emotional support Zerglings can possibly be better.

[@lukill3321]

1st

[@TowerSavant]

I've been assuming it was going to be anime catgirls for months. Get out of my head Winter. You know full well what happens in there.

[@courageousmelon5654]

5:00 why even discuss this at length, this is obviously going to get patched...

[@ldragodestroy4]

What? Only the model is gonna get patched lol.

[@courageousmelon5654]

@@ldragodestroy4 You seriously think that the developers, who said they want to make RTS more accessible, are not going to make resource gathering optimized for the standard player?

[@Sor91785]

SC2>Stormgate - It's not even close

[@mdc3227]

Are you being paid to promote this?

[@Lordofhollows15]

People saying this game sucks are funny like watching the same StarCraft is better lmfao

[@zegikniet9999]

why are they not calling this "starcraft 3"?

[@Doomdog4]

Stormgate is made by Frost Giant, not Blitzzard. Frost Giant is mostly made up of ex-Blizzard developers.

[@mrbigglezworth42]

@@Doomdog4 That doesn't mean what it would've meant 20 years ago.

[@ExValeFor]

but bro this is obviously not starcraft at all, it's warcraft 4 /s

[@GrippeeTV]

It plays a lot more like Warcraft than it does Starcraft tbh

[@Haydin1117]

Because it's not. I've seen people complain it's too close to wc3 and not starcraft-y enough. It's an ex-blizzard rts, and it takes a lot of influence from both of their major rts franchises

[@daledadolphin]

Must admit I don’t really understand the point of making a game with so many similarities to sc2, especially with less factions for now

[@willyjf6193]

Sc2 is so much better still

[@martinkrauser4029]

They're the folks who were making SC2 and had to stop. I see why they would want to keep making it, and I see why it has fewer factions until it has more factions. It's not rocket science, innit. :) I do wish they were a bit more forward looking or just showed some more awareness of what's happening outside the Blizzard RTS and the many improvements other RTS breeds such as Total Annihilation / Supreme Commander / Beyond All Reason or Sins of a Solar Empire have brought to the genre in terms of UX, application features and improvements that reduce the housekeeping mental load and let you focus on tactics and on strategy decisions instead. You know, the reason we want to play these games.

[@daledadolphin]

@@martinkrauser4029 Exactly, it feels like a step backwards when we already have the old games to play. Not a step forward with a new spin or at least a new level of usability. Like Dota 2 didn’t really reinvent the formula but it just improved all the interactions and quality of life massively. This doesn’t even appear to do that

[@alanduffy4602]

This looks like Warcraft with aliens. Starcraft mods look more fun than this.

[@morgenmuffel5747]

Not a fan of the art style. Indeed, the game as a whole seems underwhelming

[@kevinc2332]

This game is going to fail. Rts is a tough genre.

[@maxshultz6502]

Welcome to Warcraft3 reskin with SC core elements and 2006 graphics...... let me just remind people that DOW was released in 2004... yet somehow in 2024, we have to look at this lazy sad excuse of a RTS game.

[@holysaintknight343]

Try Dawn of War 3, it's much better than blob vs blob

[@panzerkunst9933]

fuck this game

[@ManDuderGuy]

Get this doodoo outta here and give us Katowice!!! Also like and subscribe.

[@RavagHer]

fuck no, it hard to figure out wtf is going on they would never to update the game for years just to keep it going. the map is a joke, its like someone ate paint and threw up on the ground..smear it around and there goes ur land. thats too generous cuz at least u would have texture. its soo flat with the most random bush, rock, tree, cliff. they need to like increase the model size of some the units or maybe everything in general. some units are soo small u barely can tell what color they are other than brown. im a big fight u still go, "wtf is attack what"

[@vags1234]

Did you have a stroke?

[@ExValeFor]

@@vags1234 people have generally been having a stroke since around feb 5th

[@10manan]

Please do not waste a video on storm gate. It sucks. Cast sc2

[@drakethesnake4592]

Don't click on it? It's not even a finished game bro, it's got a lot of promise.
