>We asked thousands of RTS fans what they actually want from a modern RTS and came up with a game that favors clever tactics over action, player freedom over scripted set-piece moments and strong singleplayer campaigns over long-term monetization opportunities.

>Iron Harvest takes place in the World of 1920+. It is an alternate version of our own world created by Polish artist Jakub Różalski.

>Humankind, fascinated by technology, iron, and engines, invented powerful walking machines, that proved to be mighty weapons on the battlefields of the Great War and are now part of everyday life.

>Now, a few years after the Great War, (((secret forces))) are working towards the destabilization of Europe, determined to set the world on fire and seize control.

>Over 400,000 USD in ~30 hours from backers

What are /v/'s thoughts about modern RTS? Can this game redeem the genre, given that lelic isn't involved?

Is this a CoH mod?

Anonymous 03/14/18 (Wed) 21:33:39 f21976 No.14486601

>CoH with mechs

Visually it's pretty awesome but I'm not convinced. They say it'll have base building but if it's going to be as restricted as in CoH then it's pointless. Maybe the single player campaign will be worth it but I wouldn't back this, even if I wasn't wary of kickstarters.

The Kickstarter page mentions completely separate development of GUI and control schemes for PC and console if you scroll down a bit. Here's hoping that promise actually stands, would most likely drive a lot of people off if it didn't.

does that RTS have any non-automatic special abilities for any unit?

I don't like having to frantically click between units to click their hotkeys and also target certain units or the ground with their abilities; that isn't fun

also, does that RTS have really, really, really relatively fast units, such as aircraft in total annihilation?

We got a few decent games from Kickstarter in the past, anon. Divinity Original Sin was Kickstarter FFS.

Crowd funding is a much better way than dealing with the gems at EA and Ubisoft.

No thank you, and don't give my any bullshit about how Starcraft 1 was also on consoles or some stupid shit, there's a blatant difference between a strategy game made for PC and ported to consoles and a strategy game made to be multiplat from the ground up.

TS was the peak though, it still has so much that has not been matched by later RTS.

It sure had great atmosphere and worldbuilding, but the gameplay left something to be desired, what with Nod being dogshit in comparison to GDI and most multiplayer matches boiling down to disruptor/mammoth + carryall rushes. The game would need elements from all three.

Balance was pretty shit, but as a whole the game still is miles ahead of (almost) anything released later. Deformable terrain, asymmetrical but interesting factions, ion storms, fauna, hell even the blue tiberium being volatile. It was hardly perfect but it was a rather natural evolution for the genre. Sadly it stopped there and was never evolved past that, nowadays we still get static plain maps.

Best attempt at evolving the genre after TS was Maelstrom, which, as shit as the base gameplay was, did some very impressive stuff. Sadly nobody else seems interested in doing so, either games go the RTT way (e.g. MoW) or they at best do something like Grey Goo with faction differences (Grey Goo didn't do it any better than Earth 2150 many years ago, however).

Deformable terrain sucked though. It was badly implemented and one blast capable of deforming the ground made a good chunk of buildable ground on your base unusable, on top of slowing down vehicles. Everything else is good.

The thing that sticks in my mind was a mission trying to get past mobile arty nod had. No matter how fast the unit was moving, or even what direction, the arty shell would always hit the unit. Even if it was on the other side of the screen to the projectile graphic landing.

>a mission trying to get past mobile arty nod had

Nod's artillery was broken in base Tiberian Sun because it was stronger than Juggernauts and never missed. Firestorm fixed them a bit to make them miss moving targets.

And there were multiple missions with those pieces of shit actually.
