Gameplay Question The games current state

22 Upvotes

I had been watching this game and patiently awaiting its release. I played the MINUTE it went live. For some reason, probably age of empires 4, and multiplayer not being ready or something I vaguely remember, i didn't get too deep into it. Played a bit of the campaign.

Curious how it is now? Multiplayer? I play SC2, aoe4 and i really miss c&c and recently built a pc (7800x3d and 9070xt all white build, I LOVE) And I was thinking of putting the new ssd to work and re downloading it.

Can anyone give me the rundown? Just about to watch a video from wintergaming on my work break, hoping it's in a little better of a spot.

Really sad to see starcraft 2030 release not an RTS.

THIS MAY BE OUR ONLY NEW RTS HOPE 😞😓

General They sure weren't kidding about the enemy attack bug on higher difficulties in the campaign

Veti mission 3 feels like a completely different beast now with having to juggle both the objectives and the constant base harassment.

Kind of makes it feel like mission 4 when trying to keep all nodes intact in that it's easy to get overwhelmed.

Kudos to the mission being actually difficult now, but struggling a bit trying to figure out how to deal with it.

Story/Lore Talon

21 Upvotes

Spoilers for anyone who hasnt played the Veti Campaign

Talon are an interesting sub faction. Combined GDF and Dynasty stolen tech united into an anti Alien force.

Renamed units like the Hunter tank becoming the Heavy Tank and the grenadier becoming the napalm grenadier. Stolen building too.

But theres the odd reskin here and there that went beyond “they have this” which was really nice.

Im on my way through the Veti Campaign on insane and the campaigns name is “to kill a mocking god” so to speak. And mission 8 comes along and we hit the talon stronghold.

Thought to myself “lets capture their buildings, see what this “4th” faction can do”

They all self destruct.

What are you hiding Saber?

Is Talon just a campaign gimmick? Or is there something else cooking at HQ.

Personally id love a 4th campaign

Story/Lore New achievements is campaing

6 Upvotes

hello everyone, I would like to share that there are not enough achievements in completing the campaign in a complicated form.

I completed the Dynasty campaign on insane difficulty without using doctrines and the arsenal. And I decided to complete the GDF campaign as well, and now I’ve decided to start completing the Veti campaign.

Dear developers, could you please add this achievement to each campaign, and if it’s not too much trouble, add a difficulty rating for it.

Game Feedback Another terrible design choice

0 Upvotes

I'm honestly tired of the "not too fast, but fast enough, but actually not that fast. A little bit of defensive but actually also offensive" philosophy of this game's missions. Just give me a timer or don't, give me a defensive mission or don't. Like, fine, I can restart the mission to take care of secondary objectives before it tells me to, or the timer even appears, but don't tell me to stop collecting tempest to destroy two well-guarded airbases about two minutes before I'm about to beat the mission. I really don't like the Dynasty campaign compared to GDF. For a wannabe evil cult like Nod, they sure don't like actually destroying GDF bases unless it's secondary and last minute.

And I still hate that there's no option to just stop trying to kill everything in sight. Again, the Dynasty pretends to be about stealth, but units cannot help themselves but just start shooting things even if in Hold position. You're copying Command and Conquer, unit stances are right there! Yes the objective is often to kill the enemy, but not when you're told to capture something, which again, the Dynasty keep telling you to do.

Is Mission transparency one of those mods I need to ask ChatGPT to make, along with an actual Guard stance? Okay, rant over. I guess I'll just have to restart from a save point and destroy these bases early. Secondary objectives already annoy me in games, because it's just an excuse for uncertainty. If you want me to destroy or capture about six buildings, don't yeet me out of the battlefield before I have a chance to do so. Do you want me to or not? This isn't the Game Awards, there doesn't need to be a "one last thing".

I remember making these complaints a year ago, and someone suggested I try not to be too harsh because it was still quite early. This game has been out for at least a year and people - including the designers themselves - will argue to the death that these options aren't even worth considering.

General I still hate GDF Mission 8 (the Ancient Basin)

5 Upvotes

I'll probably do it after reading strategies online, but this is my second playthrough of the game before I play through the Veti campaign. I would have thought the balancing of this mission would be tweaked with the game being out for so long, but it hasn't. The narrative sucks, and the difficulty curve is jarring. You're tasked with getting Indiana Jones and his two brothers into a temple and have them research the tempest for like ten minutes, while you protect them. But along the way, you've got like a handful of secondary objectives with people asking you for favours if you happen to have units cross their section on the map.

The one where you find and rescue a handful of hostages makes sense, but "oh commander can you just capture this radar station" and "oh commander it might be a good idea to kill this tempest rig. Like, shut up, I'm trying to concentrate on defending my base against long range units making it so I have to babysit both entrances. But I have to, or else the game will be a nice OCD inducing gap in my achievements.

Anyway apparently drone operator spam works. But it's a stressful fucking mission and I hate it, I've dreaded it through the entire playthrough. Oh and they still haven't introduced different stances. "Jack Russel Terrier with ADHD Stance" is still on by default for every single unit and can't be changed.

General Can't finish The Fall of a Dynasty mission

I have searched the internet and watched videos, but somehow when I put Aleks in the red circle it doesn't end the mission. The game just continues as if nothing happened.

Is this a bug that they put in a new(er) update or something?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m27Fc6VRy8

I did exactly as this guy, but still it didn't finish the mission. People also commented under the video about the same bug.

Does it work on an empty Tempest field?

Say in a 2v2, your ally who is a GDF mines out the shared Tempest field. Will you still get credit from the empty Tempest field?

Forum Question Good maps for three friends vs CPU?

15 Upvotes

Hey guys. We are new to the game but love it so far. Wondered if there are any custom maps such as choke point maps that anyone has made that are great for a fun 3h vs 3 cpu or 2h vs 2 cpu. Any maps with unlimited or huge amounts of resources would be nice too.

Thanks for any info.
