STORMGATE - Vanguard Units with Artosis 

This is the concise description that I've been wanting. These should be mandatory for every race! Thanks for the insight Artosis.

The content of this video was super entertaining and informative. Artosis is always methodical and well researched! I think it’s nice to have a calm, friendly family video like this that I got to share with my kiddos (8 and 10) who are budding RTS fans. Well done buddy!

Hedgehogs already look like a balance issue in their current design form, quick moving building snipers? I can taste the salt.

artosis reading like a hostage reading a manifesto, are you safe man? blink 3 times if you're kidnapped

Thank you for making this video Artotis - great comparisons, super helpful to understand just starting out. You rock!!! 🙂

Artosis genuinely looks like he's aged about 50 years from Brood War ladder/Twitch chat.

Definitely we needed this from one of the best rts caster and player

It's interesting to see so many buffs/debffs able to be cast on friendly or enemy units. Makes me wonder if we'll see some varied unit compositions (perhaps what the developers were hoping to push)?

Comment for algorithm! Also super stoked to see you posting videos for this!

8:20 yay, Terrans finally got their own Reaver and Shuttle tactics

I dont know seems alright but there isnt a single unit that really excites me. They need some bigger late game units to get casuals engaged.

Bobs are Warcraft 3 Human Peasants, they build in groups but are vulnerable and their town hall turns them into "Militia". The hedgehog are command and conqueror Generals GLA rocket buggies, super fast hit and run micro buggies with a long reload good at sieging and pretty meh vs light ground units.

Bruh the siege tank is basically Pacifier FAV from Red alert 3

Very informative!

Maybe it's just me but the Lancer is a Footman and the Exo is the Rifleman from Warcraft 3.

nice overview this is why i enjoy campaign mode. get to learn the game bit by bit

Good Overview! Thank you arti!

The siege tank is my favorite unit, i like it because it rewards you for taking important places on the map away from your opponent, the tank in this game doesnt look like it does enough damage to hold down an area, like really fast units are going to be able to dance around the tank shots and kill the frontline without getting hit

Hey artosis. Today I want to watch your video. Let’s start off with hitting the play button.

This is excellent after just getting into the alpha/beta

Vulcan is literally tychus from hots lol

Really love these indepth explanations. Awesome job Artosis!

Very informativ. Thank you.

Arty is not amused to read this lol.

Hey, you can copy my homework, just change it a little.

Fantastic video! This is the style of overview I really enjoy watching, so this saves me the trouble of having to make one haha

No Battlecruiser equivalent = Shut up and take my money

Spoken like a true prodigy! The information and script of this video are well broken down and simplified. Well done to you and your editor.

my prediction will be similar to what happened in sc2, instead of making the best possible game ever, they are trying to make a 'next generation of competitive RTS' what made broodwar and lol so good was they organic evolution of their popularity and fun. sc2 was a great successor to bw, but it couldnt carry the crown. i'll be excited to see if storm gate or any of these next gen rts's will be able to carry the load.

I hope this game succeeds, but the current iteration looks really conservatively designed to me. Maybe so much focus on esports and balance that it's missing fun/exciting stuff?

Artosis this is actually very helpful because i had no idea what any units did from stormgate. I’m very excited about this game ! I plan on playing vanguard so this is awesome. I hope you continue that series as we get more information about the game. Thanks Dadtosis

The art is getting MUCH better.

This reminds me of how Heroes of Newerth came from DOTA. These units are so obviously just a replica of Terran but slightly changed. Currently for unclear benefit.

Very good vid about units. I like how you point out similarities and differences to units we all know.

Thanks Artosis.

Vulkans are the army of Tychuses

I dont know if its just me but this game feel souless

Finally!! I have been waiting for a video like this for months, thanks Dan.

Awesome thank you for I have been trying to watch some of these casts and was not really enjoying it. hopefully this helps. it seems that the maps are ... smaller ? ... than SC2 maps. Maybe it is the scale or something. But thank you this series helps.

everytime u switch to starcraft u can clearly see the huge diference... SC2 is just on another level man.

This was awesome, thanks!

Is the medtech dispel ability autocastable like a wc3 ability?

Artosis should lead with "yOu GuYs WaNt Me tO pLaY a FakE gAmE??

Hey Arty. Nice hair cut. Your mom give it to you? Lol

The Vulcan is like Tychus from HOTS

Awesome deeing Artosis doing some more Stormgate content!

Vulcan is basically Tychus from HotS.

love you

Does the habitat currently do anything besides being a supply structure?

"Are very similar to X." "Are very similar to Y." I wonder if this game will ever get units that aren't "very similar" to something.

im here for more stormgate content

Will there be variants or factions within factions each with skins, models, voices or abilities? - Like a Certain Vanguard with steampunk technology and their dog is a mutant Kane Carso or cyborg rottweiler that is a "bruiser" not a shepherd scout. A hybrid of melee tank and anti-infantry. They got steam powered artillery firing 40-inch white phosphorus shells against buildings and clockwork ballista for rapid anti-air firing. The old-school mechs and soldiers are dressed and decorated in Napolean style clothing. They are demi-humans known as "dwarves". But they have a French, not Irish accent. Preferring wine over beer. When destroying mechanical units or enemy buildings, they can "salvage" to increase production speed of their own mechanical units or speed up the construction of buildings at a discount price. - Maybe a in certain Inferno branch there is someone like Archimonde or Jaraxxus summoning them infernos? Like a boss or powerful non-playable hero. They got "Butchers" over "Brutes". Even some balrogs and pit lords as their heavier units that do nasty cleave damage for aoe or mighty shockwaves touching not just land, but enemy flying units. As they are quality over quantity... Absurdly powerful, but expensive units that take up a population cap.

I want to see a joke version of this post-launch where you talk about how bullshit and unfair the units are in an escalation of both anger and pitch.

The hedgehog's burrow ability reminds me of the ability the tick tank had in Tiberian Sun with it burrowing into the ground to make it more sturdy in a fight, the hornet's RTB also being something Allied vindicators and apollo fighters had in Red Alert 3.

The vulcan is just an autocannon dreadnaught from DoW. The vulture thing is just a buggy from C&C Generals.

6:57 they remenber me goliaths

They're not reinventing the wheel or anything, but it seems to be very solid gameplay, so far. Ain't broke, don't fix it. I do think the "command center" buildings need more personality and presence. The overall art style is fine - League of Legends-esk, although I prefer the look Zerospace is going for.

The Vulcan looks like a Tychus from SC2

Why are they replicating SC2? Yea there are some differences but the core seems pretty much the same to me. Isn't gonna feel incredibly similar to playing SC2? Or what is the great added value they are bringing to the table that would make this so much better than SC2. I would like to know since I honestly don't see what that would be, from the progress released so far at least. They would need to bring an incredible amount of added value to make this succeed, but they seem (to me at least) to just be recreating an already existing game in SC2 with some differences.

Really liked this video. btw, the Atlas looks terrible... Unsieged is not that bad, but in siege mode looks awful. I really hope they change the design in the future.

5:19 YEAH MY RON JEREMY BUILDS GONNA POUND EM!

i dont like what they have built. i hope its the real deal, but i dont like these units for one, the graphics annoy me. the engine seems to be good.

idk the specific design philosophy behind the game (and what "new"/improved things it wants to bring to the table) but from the presentation it very much seemed that many of the units shown r pretty micro intensive

Id love for you to do the same video with Infernal units! Keep up the good work!

I like the unit type so far, but man, they really lack "punch" when attacking so far.

this feels like such a low number of unit variation. is this supposed to be increased on release? or are they planning to add new units later with expansions?

Are the workers called "Bob" because they're... the builder?

This games development reminds me dawn of war 3 levels of disaster.

sweet

Thanks RT, this was very well explained

Very noice, this gets a watch from me for sure if you do this for every faction of Stormgate / Zerospace

I mean, FG need to do something about how the game looks. Not even necessarily the graphic style, but the lightning or camera or something. It looks like SC1 more than SC2 and SC2 is 14 years old.

man i wished they kept tankivacs, it was so cool ofcourse it needed nerf but still

fantastic video i cant wait for release

you said Vulcan doesnt remind u of any RTS units well the Vulcan Reminds me of Tychus from starcraft 2, or Heroes of the storm Tychus, Vulcan plays alot like Tychus but way less damage

he said unit

Why are there so few units?

No invisible units/abilities in Stormgate it seems. Might be a good thing given the higher number of abilities and mechanics SG has over SC.

this looks line starcraft 1.5

Looks less strategy and macro focused and much MUCH more micro intensive. I don't think that's a good balance.

Vulcan kind of resembles an Assault Dreadnought from WH40k Dawn of War series, especially the DoW 2 version, which doesn't have Jump Jets, but it's Assault Cannon has ability to mow down an area in a cone, dealing massive damage and supressing enemy infantry.

All of these units are malformed clones of SC2 units.

@artosistv Can you proc the lancer's/exo's buff yourself by attack your own units? I noticed the "minerals" are not spread out there seem to all bunch up so a AoE harass like a storm drop will be super strong is there a unit that has an AOE similar to storm/widow mine?

what happened to him? he seems so calm

I dont think Artosis is super excited about stormgate he sounds like he doesnt even wanna make the video

I'm so hyped to play this game

hope we get a video of the infernal host units too!

Vulcan seems very similar to Tychus from Heroes of the Storm.

The dropship is soo similar. Can they get a lawsuit?

I look forward to seeing the other race(s) in the future 🎉

The vulkan looks like Tychus as a co-op commander in SC2.

This video has been up for a month and there still isn't any copy pastas in the comments smh

I do enjoy greatly Stormgate content! Thanks for posting the video, will be following what ends up coming out on this channel and artosisCasts2

I just want to know if it's just me, but I don't really feel any appeal to any of the unit designs? Like the Zealot in Starcraft is fucking "cool" - psi wrist blades, super tanky warriors, like it's a "cool" concept. The units in stormgate feel like Fortnite skins almost. They all feel so inoffensive and boring. I hope the third race is more exciting. Edit: ghosts, zerglings, goliaths, hydras, stalkers and dragoons, carriers, vikings and BC's, there are no shortage of awesome units in Starcraft. Meanwhile in Stormgate, atlas is a siege frog

I do hope this is all the units "so far". I know we are still very early on but the units right now feel underwhelming to me. (clarify: like 2-3 units short. Missing the big dogs like Thor or Battlecruiser. Time to kill also seems too slow to me. Graphics still need polish.)

What about Broodwar? This seems like a betrayal, for some reason.

When does this game come out? Looks cool. Finally.. something new

Cool video. Cant wait for Starcraft-but-Worse!

I don't know if graphics are final, it looks they are not. But almost none of these units feel cool... Well except giant mecha with gun, but even it needs more polished details. One of the things I liked in sc2 was how cool were units. I wanted to use Thor because it looked and felt great. Same for ghost or dark templar.

Hmm 🤔 I think I will have to try it, based on your two race vids, and some promotional materials the game just doesn't generate any hype for me. The graphic issues discussed in the comments on the infernal video. Combined with the fact that I can't see or feel why I should play this instead of sc, aoe or frozen throne, makes me unsure of my purchase.
