Hey TLers,

I wanted to share with you a new RTS. It is Boid. Game just got out of early access and now is free on Steam. Game has it's own unique design that maybe no other RTS has.

Current Features
* 1vs1 Ranked System

This game is great! All it needs is more players.

I played a ton of SC2 and this game does a great job being a familiar but fresh take on the genre.

Really enjoy the game so far. Only downside is: Comebacks seem to be impossible on most maps.

Indeed. Making comebacks is very hard. If you are slightly behind it's still possible, but other than that, it's GG.

No resource management? I thought that was a primary requirement for an RTS. Haha.

Well, but it's still a real time strategy game. Your resources are your units and you have to manage them!

There are a decent amount of RTS's that don't have building management and very very little resource management (Company of heroes comes to mind). I want more old style RTS like age of empires back!
When I think of something else, something will go here

And they are usually called RTT (Real time tactics). Without resource management (and usually collection), base building and such it cannot really be called strategy.

I don't like this game, it is way too simple and very far away from classic RTS games that we are on this forum for.

At high level, game isn't simple tho. Yes, at first glimpse game definitely looks simple, capture spawners, make units and that's it. But at the higher level, there's so much more to do. Harass with scout, map control, balanced composition, constant rally point switches, splitting against AoE Bombs, focus firing support units and so on!
