But I will be able to judge more by watching full games on stream or youtube. Then I can decide if I even want to bother trying it. | ||

From the trailer, it also looks like the micro is closer to SC2 than WC3, which is a shame. Micro is not like Sc2 at all. Surely there is no damage point or turning rate, however there its nowhere close to how fast and responsive Sc2 units are. And in terms of TTK its much much closer to Wc3 than Sc2. And the reason you see a big battle is because its the total army value combined of 3 players. A 3v3 Wc3 game would probably look similar. So there is absolutely no way to compare this to Sc2. It's on the complete other side of the RTS spectrum. | ||

In WC3, even the weakest units would take 10 or so seconds to kill, the units are dying a lot faster in the trailer. There also seem to be some units/abilities that can one shot a group of units, which was never the case in WC3. | ||

However, I still maintain the overall "TTK feeling" is significantly different from that of Sc2. Not saying micro is similar to Wc3 either. | ||

Unfortunately I must say that this is more of a twist on MOBA recipe than a twist on RTS recipe. As I don't play MOBAs (anymore) I am not excited about this at all. | ||

As I don't play MOBAs (anymore) I am not excited about this at all. yes, it looks more like a slightly different MOBA than an RTS with MOBA elements. its hard to anticipate ahead of time what one will think is fun; F2P games are meant to exploit that by letting people in for nothing. if the group/clan that i play SC2 with end up liking the game i'll prolly join in. no F2P RTS has ever had a modicum of viability; its no surprised that after 3 years after saying it was a F2P RTS its not an RTS. So what started as browser based RTS game and platform that would make the console obsolete we now have another MOBA.

Though the effects for the AOE are a little under whelming. I liked the large rhino things that pushed the other units around like Magus from Dota 2. i'd prefer they start with underwhelming effects to make sure readability is 100% spot on. Then, as they get comfortable they can later on toe the line that separates readability and spectacular effects. SC2 followed that path. | ||

The difference is it looks like you can dodge everything that deals such high damage in GoA. It is a lot more problematic for an insant damage unit to be able to one shot.About the MOBA vs RTS debate: I still think it looks like an RTS with some mechanics borrowed from MOBAs. You make and control armies composed of different unit types, that is fundamentally different from MOBAs. The whole point of a MOBA is that you control a single unit. | ||

They could add tons of things to improve the design, but I would play the fuck out of a game that was a series of micro battles with some long term strategic decisions. | ||

Contrast this with C&C which has a very important economic component that requires far less babysitting and less than half a dozen harvester units and there are viable RA3 builds featuring 1 harvester. Are we thinking about the same games? Last time I remembered, you could basically lose your whole economy in C&C games within a few seconds if you weren't watching. | ||

I think his point was more like, how long it takes to build one-three harvesters versus how long it can take to build 50 SCVs. Ok, one thing I'm kinda confused with, the gifs seems to show different clumps of units, can you move your units separately from your hero are they kinda one blob? | ||

Guardians of Atlas is a unique MOBA-RTS hybrid (“army battler”) for Windows and Mac which combines the action-packed, hero-centric gameplay of a MOBA and the economy, territory control, and individual unit control of an RTS. There are also some instances in the trailer that shows units moving independently from the heroes. So I would assume you can control units individually but players in that gif chose to select all of their army and move it together. | ||
