8vs8 Rushing Juggernauts! Beyond All Reason (Epic RTS) 

Would love to see him try Forged Alliance!

@@jamyorday But why? That's so similar to BAR. It would just be re-learning a bunch of stuff to arrive back where he started, but with worse controls. The only other game in this genre that would different enough to be worth it is Planetary Annihilation.

@@catbert7 they are pretty similar! But the 4 different factions offer much more variety in units, I find the battles are bigger in FA, don’t get me wrong, I’m playing BAR a ton right now and loving it! I think I just want to see his opinion on that game

Yeah, the genre is massively under-appreciated. I think it's jus too overwhelming for most players to learn. Still, should be popular to watch, at least. Far as I'm concerned, Planetary Annihilation is the most impressive RTS ever made.

He was a part of it for sure but TheXPGamer's video (with nearly 327k+ views) was also instrumental for getting the word out.

I've tried FAF after BAR. It really feels inferior. Not bad at all, but a bit obsolete if it wasn't for the nostalgia for the people who still play it.

Have you played much BAR? It's better than FaF in pretty much every way... Cept maybe the ferry command functionality. I can't stand how air units ai in FaF are utterly broken at scale. They can't even fly properly less than 10 minutes into the game regardless of performance overhead... And the stupid fighter micro that players have to do at high levels to achieve anything is lame and defeats the whole purpose of how air should function. Don't think those problems can ever be fixed with that engine, and BAR doesn't suffer that fundamental air issue.

@@kirktown2046 better waypoint management, race diversity, and as you mentioned, ferry. Air is a little janky in BAR too, bombers especially, I take your point though

​@@atrtsh Good point on the waypoint management. Though it's pretty good in BAR, SupComm lets you delete orders and move queued build positions which is really nice. Bombers in bar having no vision seems pretty balanced, they become MUCH smarter with vision from scouts or loitering gunships/fighters.

Changing direction to avoid incoming fire?

There is never a good reason to overflow energy. If you're overflowing, you should convert it, reinvest it, or store it. Ideally T2 convert it... or share with teammates. Construction spend both metal and energy based on what they're building, they don't magically cause more energy drain than the unit/building requires. You'd have to have a really unbalanced economy for it to feel like supply blocking. Veterancy, though pretty cool, isn't usually something that obviously wins or loses games, but spamming t1 units often does. For most units it's too hard to hold onto the vet and keep them repaired, everything tends to die and get reclaimed... Res bots will NOT retain the veterancy of the units they raise. [Edited, resbots don't retain veterancy, only capture does.]

@@kirktown2046 you don't understand the game on a basic level.

@@PeterRudesindus You're saying overflowing energy is good and I don't understand? xD None of the top players overflow when ecoing. You simply use the Energy Conversion slider to control when fabricators eat energy.

@@kirktown2046 If this was tic-tak-toe, you wouldn't understand that the game was about placing 3 marks in a row. BAR is more complex but you are on that level of not understanding the game.

​@@kirktown2046 Okay let me do the thinking for you. Imagine that the game was a farm and your goal as the farmer is to expand the population of your livestock. You do that by buying more food with the money you make from selling said livestock. Now what would you do if you want to use the income from the livestock to also build a house? Well according to you, you would just invest half of your income each year into building your house even if that means not feeding 50% of your livestock. (The livestock are your metal converters/extractors, the money you are investing into building your house is energy and metal) The actual smart thing to do in this situation is to just build slower and not starve your production (your livestock) of materials (food/energy) so that you can continue to use the income of your livestock to build at a slower speed instead of crashing your whole economy and basically supply blocking yourself. lol So to sum it up, the reason why there can be no balance between energy and metal is because you need energy to make more energy. Your goal is to always be on the edge of barely having an overflow but still ALWAYS having it. Always have enough to Invest into your livestock so you can pay for more houses. Never let some of your livestock starve because that will slow down everything.

He’s been streaming earlier lately

the problem is, BAR gets quite addictive lol
