Why is it that you hardly ever hear about RTS games that aren't either Blizzardshit or C&C?

>>16285204

What kind of marketer am I supposed to be? The studio went out of business and the game is hardly known. Now discuss the game or shut the fuck up, you faggot.

>>16285243

He's doing for free but that does not make him a marketer. Tomorrow there could be a dubs thread competition where you play the game matching your post number and you'd shit yourself at all those dead companies paying OP ectoplasmic spunk.

You're this guy aren't you?

OP, if you or anyone else has any experience with the game, please explain me the point of Tier1 and Tier 2 units.

I've pirated and tried this since it seemed to have some interesting mechanics regarding pop generation, but there's something fucky with the way you train your units.

You have 3 Dojos, one for melee, the other for ranged and the other for alchemy\magic. You can train units in 1, 2 or 3 dojos, changing the unit according to the combinations you chose.

However, you can essentially make a chain production of Tier 3 units simply by setting the rally point of each one to the next one, the final one to wherever you want your units to be and a single house producing peasants to the first one.

The thing is, the stats of Tier3 just seem to be all around better than everything else and they don't seem to take any extra popcap either. Considering how resources and villagers are generated, your bottleneck will most likely be villagers, not resources so not even the training costs offset this.

TL;DR: What's stopping me from just mass producing T3 Ronins instead of bothering with archers, spearmen and everyone else?

Also, ATIs seem to have some kind of issue with the game and the ground isn't rendered properly.

OP just got banned for a day, but for some reason left OPs thread up.

>>16285328

Tier 1 units are Cannon fodder units

Tier two units are specialists, you have your siege units, units with attack bonuses, etc. Tier 3 balls are effective but you lose out on things like cannoneer aoe, sniper ballista, unit healing, etc. This is compounded on by special abilities unlocked for each unit, microing a mixed comp army where you properly use the unit unique special abilities can be more effective, time efficient and cost reductive than a t3 stack.

>>16285363

Well, that's fucked up, what a retard.

>>16285373

That doesn't sound much better. T1 are useless, T2 require heavy micro and T3 are far more simple, so you'd only use T2 or T3 according to how well your oponent can micro his army.

My favorite clan is Serpent. I remember, back in the day, my brother's was Lotus because, as a rule of thumb, the most scary-looking bad guys in an RTS are the most fun to play so Zerg, Undead, and Nod were also his favorite factions in Starcraft, Warcraft 3, and Tiberian Sun.

>>16285405

Hey now, Lotus Staff Adepts hit pretty hard.

>the most scary-looking bad guys in an RTS are the most fun to play

Like the Cybran in Supreme Commander except they're the good guys.

Is the prequel to Kenshi?

I wouldn't say that T1 and T2 are shit, but they're certainly not great on their own. Spamming T3 Samurai, Ronin, or even Berserkers is a terrible idea, now Warlocks get away with it though because they are a kind of dedicated ranged unit that are tough to kill without exploiting their weakness to cut, drains enemy stamina in melee with magic damage, and their ranged attack is explosive damage which is very deadly to other T3 units AND it gets the added benefit of minor height advantage due to the warlock's passive hovering. In a 1v1 scenario with just basic units, the warlock will most likely come out on top because Samurai and Ronin are weak to all the Warlock's damage types, and the Berserker is the shittiest T3 in the game despite not resisting or being weak to the Warlock and having the damage type advantage, it simply loses because it has the slowest attack animation out of all the other T3's. T1's and T2's should not be ignored in favor of being able to spam T3's as the only thing that matters in a fight is exploiting enemy damage weaknesses.

Want another unit comparison? Comparing all the other T1 basic melee units, on paper the Brawler is the strongest but it loses to every other T1 unit despite having more health and attack damage because the Brawler uses a series of light jabs instead of a great big puncher which draws out the total damage he could be doing over time. The strongest T1 unit is the Spearman simply because he does Piercing damage, the only reason Piercing is so good is because mostly nobody is weak or resistant to it. The lone Spearman won't be able to hold his ground against T2's which is where Battle Gear/abilities come in. While the Brawler is the shittiest T1 in the game it can 1shot heroes with Zen Counterpunch. The swordsmen have their glass swords which will 1shot non-heroes but kill them in the process. Blade Acolytes get Inner Strength for a burst of health and that's it. Spearmen have Whirling Strike which when massed will LITERALLY WHRRR YOUR ENEMY'S ARMY DEAD.

tl;dr The strength of your army is based on unit composition, exploitation of your enemy's damage resistances, and knowing your unit abilities. Not massing.

I feel similar towards that kind of thing but I understand it would be a pain for 2D so i give 2D games a slide.

never heard of this one

>>16285170

did they ever fix the multi monitor bug?

>>16285190

WTF? I love being kiked now!

Thanks rabbi, off to install (((steam)))!

I always thought this game was a WC3 ripoff

>>16287322

Very good

why is there a thread about a good old game on 8/v/?

this board is only for margeting threads and gorilla pr stunts!

At least this thread is slow and almost dead!

So, never ever again make a thread like this again, or bump a thread like this again. Only post in threads about pro-nintendo stuff or any new upcoming gaming events/games.

you the people of 8/v/ can make this place to something better for this industry!

>>16285170

>You can buy Battle Realms for only $10 on gog.com!

Why would I give my money to a bunch of literal unknown faggots who will never produce another game in the series, let alone make it as good? For fuck's sake, even you somehow understand this judging from >>16285222 and yet you don't at the same time.

you farm rice in this game because its oriental

boy thats funny

>>16285170

If it is on sale, it must not be discussed. All companies are shit, and must never receive any money.

Pirate everything.

>>16285222

This is /v/ anon, where the word shill has lost all meaning and no one is allowed to ever be positive about a video game.
