@@eyeofhorus1301 still you can imagine that the smallest format ever for battle aces will be bo3, but prolly most will tend towards bo5 for normals, bo7 for upper rounds and bo9 for finals - so a final will last 9x10+8x1 minutes (the extra minute in between games to change up decks etc.) - pretty epic im just a bit afraid that it gets "boring" fast - cause the game has 0 downtime - which also leads to less up and down in action - which is esspecially important for viewers^^

[@kevinmoy3752]

this just might be the future of rts. worker management is tedious, but objective control needs weight. would like to see tech buildings for unit predictions/counter play.

[@TheWCStein]

I love it and I tell you why. I am an old school RTS fan since the late 90s. Games like Red Alert, StarCraft BW or AoE really made up my youth and early 20th. When the second (or third?) wave of RTS rise and SCII came out I couldn’t believe my eyes. I played it ever since and still I watch Channels like Arthosis’ and Tastless‘. Yet when I became a father and my kids grew up I found out that the time for old school RTS is over. The whole game loop the meta game everything has evolved and the next generation is just bored by long games and extensive strategic planning. Here comes the hope. It’s fast paced, it’s focused on the tactics and it has a time span tide enough to be appealing for the kids of today. This is something I can play with the boys and it will never get boring. I know that it may seems to be a backstep from what you could do in WC, SC and AoE but for the genre it’s either die or make a good compromise for future gamers which are not hooked by those complex games anymore. That game is one example for a good balance between both worlds. Nice!

[@Saintspit]

Rts are always fun but now days kids are driven by the market thats why i always try to involve with his gaming experiences from minecraft to sc, i teach my boy to play rts, sc wc and aoe between other new and old games and he love the rts genre is one of his favorite one, try to incentivate your kids to play with you, get involve in his gaming experience in your free time, imo is part to educate an be a good father.

[@TheWCStein]

@@Saintspit I totally agree. 👍 We play SCBW and SCII from time to time but it’s not that they want to play it on a daily basis. They like games like brawl Stars which is some kind of a simple LoL with more game modes. I am looking forward to Battle Aces. We watched this vid together and they are very interested.

[@ThichabodCrane]

Very promising game. I'm more interested in this than I am in Stormgate. Battle Aces seems like a fresh innovation on the RTS genre with strategic, army composition / micro-focused gameplay.

[@rancidplatypus]

Seems very cool. Interesting thought on stripping some of the RTS genre away and reducing it to kind of a core of it

[@thespicyjim8954]

Enjoyed this cast a lot - thanks Tasteless! This game is a bit of a weird one, a lot of us acknowledge it's pretty cool whilst also doubting if it's for us. I'm glad it exists and I wish it well, but I have some reservations about whether I would enjoy it and indeed what the staying power will be. Definitely needs some more crazy maps.

[@bennguyen2149]

damn this game looks sooo sick

[@Cordial-07]

Combined with different map layouts which may incentivize different strategies (which I hope they add to give the game more flavor), I can imagine the replayability to be pretty good considering the range of units and the fact you can only have 8 unit options per game. The amount of experimentation hopefully lends the meta to developing creative strategic opportunities, rather than B-lining to find the most OP meta combinations and having little counterplay options all on the same map.

[@bestosensei]

Great job casting brother. Looks like a great game.

[@JPdrrraws]

[@anthraxman]

[@HenglishShogun]

Do we know any more about whats planned to be added? I imagine more units/sets for sure, but are there more map integration features like: Zone control points Other types of buildings Map editor Other win conditions Other game types Etc. Or is what we have now essentially as is? I like the game as is, though I would be fully drawn to the game with more depth added in other places than just in the units. I can also fathom how difficult introducing these can be. But im curious on the mechanical aspirations of DKs team

[@martinkrauser4029]

what's actually nuts is that time-to-kill for units is still longer than for StarCraft 2 :D

[@Currywurst4444]

[@fast1nakus]

One thing Red alert, age of empires, and Warcraft in common, is their units are iconic, from mounted knights, heavy tanks, to gryphons and orcs (thanks to the lord of rings to push those to mainstream) All those new RTS trys to invent new units, but it's very hard to understand what do thos units do, or do well

[@llanowar90]

Winter had a take that made me realize the importance of this. It’s why aoe 4 felt so … bland and uninteresting. Since every nation with few exceptions has basically the same units, and the units themselves are pretty bland and look the same.

I believe the full tech tree for both players in real time progress is visible to both players. So everything is transparent. Could be wrong about that.

[@Eirenarch]

@@Maxamundi well, kind of makes it worse. I like the mindgames around guessing the tech including things like cancelling scouted tech

[@Dusk-MTG]

This game has great potential, looks fun and easy to pick up. I just hope they don't make toooo many units. The more units the harder it becomes to pick up for a casual player and the harder to balance for pro players.

[@JohnSmith-sk7cg]

Their f2p model is that you buy new cards (units) or grind for them; giving people a time-limited p2w scenario if new cards are released overtuned. I miss the days when you could pay for a game upfront and get the entire experience.

[@eNoqfOu]

I don't know how to feel about this. On 1 hand the game visually seems clear, unit pathing seems smooth and sound is miles ahead of Stormgate. But then at the same time it just feels like 0 depth f2 amove with the occasional flanks and blinks, I would imagine it getting boring quite quick.

[@starcraft2own]

That's where the unit combinations come in. If you f2 a-move every game with the same army, someone is very quickly going to counter you and make you lose 100% of your games before they even start.

[@mgs85]

@@starcraft2ownI think we’ve seen the rock-paper-scissors style approach to units in RTS and these games never have any real depth. Changing units sometimes can just make you feel like you’re still doing the same thing you were before, just with slight variations, whereas builds in say SC drastically change the gameplay. That’s depth.

[@starcraft2own]

@@mgs85 I would say a lot of the builds work wildly different. if you are unable to find depth in unit combat then i'm not sure that's a game issue but a you issue. In other RTS games, you have to react to how the game wants you to play while in this game, the game has to react to you. Zerg will always have zerglings, zerg opponents can only play certain ways. In this game you make your faction from scratch every game. Instead of trying to figure out which race fits you best, you make it. You can't say changing from the zergling unit to the stalker unit to be "Slight variation" in gameplay style. Or using mortars tier 3 compared to the king crabs. I'd say they change how both those armies play quite drastically. If you A-move every game with every army type, that's a you thing and you'd be doing the same in SC2 or any other RTS game already.

[@derekkinney2277]

I've got to say that seeing this game in action really highlights the issues with Stormgate for me. Say what you will about the game design, Battle Aces is aesthetically very satisfying. Stormgate may "check all the boxes" of what RTS players want, but if the moment to moment gameplay isn't appealing then the rest of it doesn't really matter.

[@starcraft2own]

@@derekkinney2277 I'm going to have to call you out on that. Stormgate doesn't even have high tier units introduced into the game yet. It still has a LOT missing from the game. Battle aces has the whole tech tree out, the only thing it will add is future unit roster expansions while stormgate is lacking ENTIRE tiers from the game. It's like looking at Age of empires 2 but only Dark and feudal age (tier 1/2) and then saying there are fundemental problems with the game. There would be, like the lack of units, meaningful counters and diversity. Even a lot of mechanics are tied to the later ages like castles, unique units, trade cards, siege. The game itself would be quite poorly recieved if that's all it had to offer. I've seen so many people basically just say they feel like the game looks unfinished so it has no potential. Here is the thing, it IS unfinished.
