My last 3 1v1 games went like this: both players Castle first I scout them going fast Fort and sometimes quick 3rd with no units. I throw down 3 Rax and get +1 for my riflemen and proceed to end the game. Lots of Dragon turtles. The better players play dragons like sair reaver, make like 4/6 dragons go to fast +5armour mass mage How do you not straight up die to cata/rifle?

Well my con is too bad to stream properly but i will record some games and upload on youtube. 1on1 is fun so far but 2on2 is mainly rifler and later add footman spam boringness. Might be a problem of the map though (The Ring 1.3). I guess its too small and no high ground areas. BTW is there a high ground bonus like in bw?

I gotta refine some builds some more going to watch JBS's games as I got third in the tourney and he 2-0ed everyone he played.
They said he has won every tournament hes played in. I was messing around when I thought I was done in my first matches and went 2 base Dragons with +5 armor into mass soldiers and actually won vs mass rifles just because 200health Dragons with 5 armor can tank rifles easily while soldiers tear them apart.
I don't know if its really viable as I lost later with the same build vs someone but I may mess around with it a little more.

Interesting. Are there replays of JBS?

Why haven't you told me about it?!
I played one game against the CPU and actually enjoyed it, except for the fact that I can't seem to change the build hotkey to B. -_- if anyone wants to play I'm "shoxxx" on the server
Edit: nvm i'm dumb, changed it to B and now the game feels muchhh better :D

Played a few games against a real person.. was fun. Having BW experiences definitely pays off. I'm sure they were really low level games but there was still some multitasking ability needed for harassing and having good positioning in fights.
Someone in game taught me this and it works amazingly well. You can play in Chrome without the annoying window about playing in full screen, and without having to deal with not being able to scroll up, if you save this line as a batch file (.bat) and simply run it. The downside is that you have to alt f4 out of it to actually close the window, but it launches up like a real game: + Show Spoiler +
I'm looking forward to playing a little more this week and seeing if I still like it. I fear that it could get boring very quickly due to the low amount of units and the fact that all of the units are pretty generic.. but we'll see. I have to keep reminding myself that this is a very early version of the game, which is surprising to me considering how nice it looks and plays. I'm hoping for a good future.

I expect it to change a huge amount with the addition of wolves, priests and zeppelins. (I believe those are the units their adding so far)... Hopefully the zeppelin will be fast and we can get some cool pick up + drop micro.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I just feel like the game is soooo slow. I don't really mean the start, as I loved how in BW you start with 4 workers and that opened up a lot of different cheeses, I'm more talking about just the gameplay. Everything takes so long to build, there's a lot of dead time, units are slow, they attack slow, mining takes forever.. I feel like the game would be better if things were sped up a bit.

Menu music reminds me of battlefield 1942.

Wow such a great game. I think Knights kinda suck though? Maybe it's just the level I play at, but knights feel nearly useless outside of an early game 1 knight 2 rifleman poke.
I actually like this more than Starcraft. I prefer the medieval setting to sci-fi, and the graphics are really dropping the nostalgia bomb on me. Though currently gameplay wise Starcraft is way better. Who knows though, maybe with updates it could get to a similar level of depth

Yeah this game is pretty cool.

I would love to play this game against a better AI. I don't like PvP in RTS, it's way too stressful

Soldiers are really good for tanking Rifleman shots, it's good to have them later on. I would never say I like it more than SC but the graphics are really good. The game needs more depth, I think new units that they plan on adding will help this, especially if it allows for more harassment.

Anyone have any build orders yet? So far I'm just doing 6 castle, then tower whenever you can afford. It sounds kinda dumb, but no one has been able to kill me with a rush yet, towers are too strong early. And if you castle on 6 you'll get just enough gold for another worker as the current one finishes building.
