Where EA failed with C&C RTS Indie developers picked up with Global Conflagration and AAA gameplay

Global Conflagration is an RTS with base building and modern unit combat with infantry, vehicles, helicopters and jets that looks and plays almost like a AAA game despite being made by only two enthusiastic and talented indie developers with some help from freelance creators and passionate real time strategy players.

Last playable version of Global Conflagration showed a bunch of new stuff, like the short singleplayer introduction, diversified commander powers for each of the three asymmetrical factions, the system of garrisoning buildings, tougher AI to play against in Skirmish, new units and their abilities as well as many more things.
What keeps drawing me back into Global Conflagration each time it has a demo or playtest on Steam is exactly what most of us consider is at the heart of an enjoyable RTS game: Build a base, recruit lots of units and blow up your enemy in spectacular combat. And this indie gem in the making fits that description perfectly! It also has some of the most requested features I often see fans of the genre ask from RTS game developers, such as unit veterancy leveling system, a compact UI menu for both building and recruitment, a replay system that is still a work in progress, as well as units firing from transports, and a waypoint system that also works on the minimap. The great one liner callouts from units are just the cherry on top!
You start in Global Conflagration with an HQ building, some cash, a baseline income and power production. There is no builder unit and you can only build new buildings in the green range of previous ones. This is on maps for up to 8 players in skirmish and multiplayer, but you can expect a very similar setup in its future singleplayer campaign.
Additionally, you also start with a rifleman squad and a scout which you send out to capture flags. Now these are no victory point flags, but capture points marked by flags which produce a steady income for the player controlling them.

"AAA" quality is a insult these days, you should have said "excelent indie game" tbh.

[@perafilozof]

Lets say the OLD, 90's type of AAA game than :)

[@yellowfilly5690]

90's did not have AAA. AAA is a thing since 2009 at best. Think PS3/Xbox games.

[@perafilozof]

To some extent that is true. But the top games of that era can be considered like AAA, if not actually AAA.@@yellowfilly5690

[@matthewcharles9813]

​@@yellowfilly5690 Remember the trend AAA being used in the 90s quite a bit. It's not as new as you think. Used to help video rental stores with what games to get in the 90s.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this topic. What do you think of Global Conflagration?

[@rupertcortes3980]

Base on CnC: Tiberium wars the infantry units are squad. A single unit is boring but a squad of units is great except for engineers, and special forces like.

[@perafilozof]

Hi and thank you for sharing your thoughts on this with us. I am glad to see more people interested about this game! And I think you have a point there, but it does depend on individual unit balancing.

Fell free to share your impressions of the game with us in the comments and tell me what Command and Conquer game this one reminds you off the most, or any other RTS that you like.

[@Thr33pwood]

I hope they add a feature that "not paint entire units / buildings in one colour" - to make it look more like a wargame and less like a kids game. I like in C&C generals that there are some colourboxes on each model/unit - but those airplanes look horrible in a solid red or blue colour.

[@perafilozof]

Hi and thanks for sharing your thoughts on this game with us. That is a valid point, but you can't really stop others from expressing their individuality if the game allows it. Shogun 2 in multiplayer allowed the same but it never was a problem to all the players. Hope it won't be here too.

[@darkranger116]

I'd love to see a system where Infantry can capture vehicles and buildings, or being able to pick up wounded enemy infantry and getting a temporary radar intelligence after capturing them. that would create an awesome arms-race between players of collecting their wounded or risk having the enemy pinpointing structures and unit movement

[@perafilozof]

Hi and thanks for sharing your thoughts on this with us. In this game the closest you get to that is injured soldiers left after some units are destroyed and who ever picks them up gains more points for using commander powers or unit abilities.

[@zbigniew2628]

C&C - I sleep ... points.. income... - NANI I am so hungry for resource design by capture points, that only mentioning points and income makes me fully interested. If someone ported DOW:Soulstrom to an engine with modern controlls, camera and pathfinding I would play it forever. Even stupid, easy to edit grid keys would be great. I know DOW can be modded to them, but editing it to custome grid keys is a pain, so I never did it and was not able to go back to it after COH3.

[@perafilozof]

Hi and thank you for sharing your intriguing enthusiasm for this kind of gameplay with us :) It is a rare game style, that is true, while also usually a wining design. Do put this game on your wishlist as it will have a new playtest soon.

@@perafilozof good question my way to answer, I guess in RA eco system, Yuri was fun. Best faction did not have one, the game gave a story from both sides that kept it moving so that 'story' was my fav. No story is the thing that does not get me pumped about your showcase titles. Great mechanics, art, music but why am I there? RA. Gave you reasons idk whatcha think? Silica has great lore but in game no story no reason to be there in game. Starship troopers has story but goodness that game stinks. Mechanics stink. Again just my opinion again love your stuff

[@tevin4006]

When it comes to vehicles, there should be a hit box (front,sides, back) that should cause them to receive more damage depending on the munitions. However this effect can be bypassed entirely by top-down damge (infantry with anti-tank similar to N-law or Javelin) or helicopters/aircraft that can do air to ground and make those vehicles like tanks receive flat damage from this vulnerability. A way to counter this is adding a mechanic of active hardkill protection systems as an upgrade choice. So far, this looks great. Keep up the good work!

[@perafilozof]

[@montypython5521]

like that's no "old school" There's a number of games that've done that before

[@HongPong]

at a glance they could try changing the distance range for the weapons by about 1.5x .. it just looks more crammed than it needs to be. heck if that was an individual game settings (between 1x and 4x let's say) just to scale all units range. best of luck to em

[@Fubar_the_Magnificent]

I also want to say that you are incredibly right about the nostalgia aspect. I tend to replay older games that I both missed at the time and games I used to play to see how they held up. There are only a handful I can say have held up anywhere near what they are perceived to be. People have nice of memories of them, which is great. They also, likely, pushed some boundry back in the day. Either in terms of presentation, storytelling or gameplay. But with the advancement of technology and the gaming landscape/genre there is so many more things that can be done. I dont want someone to just rehash a game in a modern engine with modern graphics like Barkhan is doing. Im still interested in it, because I would like to see Dune II updated, but because of licensing that will probably never happen. Older RTS games also have big flaws. Empire Earth has a terrible AI that cheats to absurd levels, Dawn of War has a pretty bad unit control system where you cannot manage units well in battle aside from constantly clicking the re supply squad button, World in Conflict had the COD of campaigns in terms of production values, but a rather poor strategic/gameplay element as tanks is the only thing you really needed to complete scenarios. As for games that dont have significant flaws, how many C&C, Supreme Commander, Warcraft, Starcraft, AOE, etc. clones do we need? You can still play all of them and all of their clones. We know where to get them, we know where to get mods/patches for them. I mean I do like Armies of Exigo, it has a nice campaign and a nice mature style, but its weaker than the game it took inspiration from. Im not going to pay a lot of money for another clone if at all as I already have these. So yes, we need something different. Barkhan likely isnt going to be more than a nostalgia trip, which is fine. There is room for that. But I want to see the next C&C generals, the next Warcaft 3 the next Age of Empires in terms of how they push a new standard and expectations for the genre.

[@perafilozof]

Hi and thank you kindly for sharing your thoughts on this subject. I have so many of these games on my to play list, especially the old ones, and I think I will find it a similar experience to yours once I get to it. We need to judge new games far less and play the older games more to understand why. Hopefully these developers and others like them will do new ideas in their latest games and push the genre forward instead of copy pasting the past.

[@korsekil]

Agreed. I still play modded C&C Generals but it would be amazing to see an updated version with, say, better pathing, which in my opinion is where the game shows its age, and other more modern features.

[@bhushanharripersad5716]

I have. And it is incredible to see the developer rework the same systems over and over again. He will never finish the game at this rate.

[@RoadKamelot2nd]

It appears that the game mostly took pages from C&C Generals and Company of Heroes. More CoH though: the resource gathering system, support powers and unit abilities costing a separate resource (munitions in CoH) and infantry coming in squads. Both C&C Generals and CoH have special abilities on their units and allow infantry to garrison buildings. The building system is pretty much the same as early C&C games.

[@perafilozof]

Indeed, they have mixed a lot of different elements from across the genre. There is some World in Conflict in there as well. Along with the games you have mentioned. I think it is an amazing bled and as long as they make a good campaign it will sell like hotcakes. Which faction do you like the most so far?

@@perafilozof My PC is not strong enough for it, so I only played a few skirmishes with the EDU during the Next Fest. The stuttering and framerate drops eventually became too annoying.

[@RoadKamelot2nd]

@@derekreed4910 Dawn of War didn't have off-map support powers at all. Company of Heroes does. In Dawn of War II, they cost what's called "red" because each faction calls the global resource (gathered from killing and losing units) differently.

What's the use of a close range heavy damage? I mean, take any pack of units and it will be the same damage wise. Artilleries on the other hand allows for different strategies at long range without even getting close to the other player, you can wreck him if you play well. Also, there could be some walls because it's really missing !

Bit niche, but I hope we get to see certain infantry units decked out in more near future stuff, let the imagination go wild again like it did back in the 2000s and early 2010s. Like the E3 presentation of Ghost Recon Future Soldier or the fellas in Black Ops 2. You know, exoskeletons, micro rocket launchers, wearing bodysuits. A couple mods in CnC Generals did that to varying degrees. It’s gotten pretty bland seeing yet another special forces unit looking like a bunch of lumberjacks because “it’s what’s practical.” (Also, I’m looking forward to playing as the Euros.)

how do I download this game please?

Hello, you have to wait until the next playtest. Follow the game on Steam and my channel. The game's discord server is in the description of this video. And while you wait you can see more similar RTS games on my playlist here : kzbin.info/aero/PLRYGjguAn0CFpLi_MlTb6PIgLkXQM632Y

Hmm I play the demo. The veh and air power are good but MAN...Infantry need Nod style to punch anything.....IFV cant even kill anything without support. Even when it say its effective against infantry

[@perafilozof]

Hi and thank you for sharing your thoughts and impressions. It is a combined arms modern combat in fact. IFVs are just transports for heavy infantry which is the real firepower in that duo. Each infantry type has its best use and if used in a big bunch as you can see during this video it can be really strong.

[@raptorssngaihte2695]

naval unit will be a great addition

That is something they would like to do if possible. So support the game, Wishlist it and buy it if you like the playtests.

Money = harvesters and the RA2 way of collecting from areas with gold or gems, or like tiberium sun farming blue or green tiberium. This is basic basic basic things that will set me off if not in place.

Hi and thanks for the comment. The developers already have plans to make an alternative resources mode.

It looks amazing 😊👍

Sure does. They did an amazing job considering how few resources and people they have. Hope to see you playing in the next playtest! Which faction do you like the most so far?

man I just want a company of heroes like rts game am I asking too much?

Have you tried any of the other similar games? Like DoW, Iron Harvest and others?

[@NukeThemAllGame]

Another quality review! The game itself is very promising, I played the demo few weeks ago, but I think it needs more balancing and improvement in the terrain, it looks very flat. lets see how it goes!

[@perafilozof]

Hi and thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience with it. Especially as another RTS game developer.

[@unixten7310]

Linux compatible?

[@perafilozof]

Support for Linux is planned

[@For_the-Emperor]

We shall see if it makes it to release. Most RTS nowadays either get cancelled, broken on launch, or just gets abandoned in early access. RTS is a dying genre which sucks because command and conquer is still king and that game is ancient.

[@perafilozof]

Hi and thx for sharing your thoughts on the genre. I can honestly say that I am 100% certain it will come to EA on Steam. What will happen after that is up to the player base and the adoption level = profitability for the developers. Hope you will join us for the next playtests. BTW you can find more such projects, some already released on this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLRYGjguAn0CFpLi_MlTb6PIgLkXQM632Y

I agree. They did an amazing work, and I can't wait for the next playtest and EA. Thank you for the comment. You can find more footage here : kzbin.info/aero/PLRYGjguAn0CFVkbOmbvpl2Wpxkqw5yio_

[@ceratops95rambler5]

​@@perafilozof a remake of the generals and the red menace and tiberi war is a classic that will shine for a long time and there is nothing difficult in updating the picture with the graphic and rolling out not a mod but an official product that will be sold by him, remakes of other games are an example of this, plus right now old-school shooters are booming. shooters released 2023-2024

[@perafilozof]

Well the problem is usually companies like EA not wanting to spend resources on project that won't yield a lot of cash for them.

[@ceratops95rambler5]

@@perafilozof Yeah, but now they spend money on failed projects or on disgustingly created characters and NPCs, feminist camunit, so that they can all

That I do know. It is their managers doing bad moves and spending money on all those things... They think or are told it is necessary...

[@RyanJosepher]

those air unit models are waaaay too big.

[@perafilozof]

Hmm, you could say that, but also they are closer to the birds eye view camera :)

[@fberdf]

To be Honest EA didnt fail, Generals is Great, C&C 3, Red alert 3 and their expansions are amazing. However for some weird reason they 100% destroyed themselves with C&C4 and mobile games, so they failed but at the same time they did not, a paradox, more like they no longer have the creativity and capacity to imitate their own past creations.

[@perafilozof]

I totally get your point. I look at it from the final nails in the coffin with C&C being turned from a very loved franchise to a dead end. So as long as EA has the license and lets it root I consider them failing at doing anything with it.

[@fberdf]

@@perafilozof EA is a very weird company, reminds me of Konami, letting good titles and licenses go to waste because of mobile sales, lazyness and aggressive micro-transactions. These types of games that are basically clones of old C&C titles and their respective mods, if polished will thrive, they fill the gap in todays few RTS non space games (although i love those too).

[@perafilozof]

How ever you turn it, we are all sorry to see such behavior by the company to our loved IPs.@@fberdf

[@AHappyCub]

UI is horrendous honestly, it needs to fill the whole bottom part of the screen, having only a small 2x6 in the middle just looks disgusting and low quality

Generals clone lmao

[@Quadc4nnon]

Calling this game AAA is a huge exaggeration. Unfortunately, you lose credibility. There are countless terms that can be used to describe this game. But not tripe A 😄

[@perafilozof]

I beg to differ, because the production quality of this indie game is no par with almost any AAA RTS people adore from 2000-2010. As for the functionality and features like cinematics, live action characters, entire story telling campaigns and such, no, this game isn't at the same AAA quality... yet. But that is exactly where publishing into Early Access and gaining funds to create these features comes in. So I would say it is a matter of time and money.

[@Quadc4nnon]

We can philosophize for a long time, but I would have chosen a different title. AAA are simply large studios with publishers and professionalism at all levels. Graphics, audio, image, film. For example, you can't make a pixel game and say AAA because that would have been great 30 years ago. But I wish the game all the best and l like your videos. I just found the headline too blatant@@perafilozof

[@perafilozof]

Sigh... thumbnails and titles like this are just something I am forced by what people click on other content creators channels. I personally can't stand disingenuous titles and thumbnails and have resisted giving in even a little for a full decade. But people have kept on clicking, and if I don't want to be left out in the cold by the KZbin's algorithm for impressions I have to make my content similar to what my viewers are already watching. I even have a whole page of my analytics which shows me exactly what thumbnails and titles my viewers watched previously so I can see what they click on. And it is much, much worse than anything I have put up so far.

[@Quadc4nnon]

I didn't mean to criticize you. I like your channel and like your videos. It's about this one title. I didn't mean any harm. Otherwise, I'm always happy to see something new from you.☺ keep it up.@@perafilozof

@@Quadc4nnon I have no problem of discussing it. And I take no offense, nor do I have any issues with taking criticism. I just like to also make my motives transparent.
