Beyond All Reason! Good lord. It's amazing, but it will ruin you for other RTS games. 1) The flanking damage mechanic is brilliant and mean that positioning matters all the time. You can micro weaker faster units to do near double damage on slower units and buildings if you have map control or manage to breach enemy lines. 2) It tries to be as transparent as it can be with its information. There's no memorization and guesstimation of "how many workers" "what am I building" "what is my income exactly" etc because the game straight up tells you its state at a glance. How many resources in wrecks in a map area? Zoom out. It'll faintly outline the area and give you a number. It's magic. 3) UNLIMITED ZOOM LEVELS. Mousewheel for instant game-state overview. Zoom back in for your micro nerdery. 4) The unit command features have some incredibly intuitive that these old-school RTS designers NEED TO PAY SERIOUS ATTENTION TO. You paint a formation for your army BY DRAGGING YOUR MOVE COMMAND. How did no one else think of that for twenty five years since Dune II released??? 5) The command queue is malleable in a away that is impossible to unthink once you get used to it. What do you mean, in your RTS game I can't insert a command at the start of the queue by holding SPACE instead of SHIFT? No "repeat entire queue" toggle!? What is this, 2022??? 6) Build queue. Has. Repeat. Button. And. Insert. To. Front. The QoL features come down to it bein open source. It encourages user writing interface widgets - as long as players make them available to otheres. "Hacking" this game's interface isn't cheating, it's community service. Anything any player can think of in terms of improved usability they can also probably slap together as a LUA script with a bit of elbow grease and it'll eventually make it into the official release once it makes it to someone with coding experience who finds it useful and will iron out the wrinkles.

@@andrewtoledo181 It's not in early development. They just had an open beta. That's what it was. It's far closer to release now than any point during its actual "early" development. We're at the point the vast majority of the game and the assets will not be changing. That's simply fact and doesn't represent any issue or complaint about the game.
I think i understand the brute split at the start of the 2nd game: rushing doggos with their upgrade for early agression is a potent strat mainly because the infernal doesn't have great scouting options. Splitting the brute this way, vanguard will be very tempted to fight it with the dogs, which reveals the situation and gives the infernal more time to build a shroudstone. With the shroudstone on, the doggo push is pretty much done, which gives the infernal much room instead of having to temporize the doggos while the shroudtone is building Just my interpretation, i might be completely wrong though
Watching you play Beyond All Reason would actually be exciting for me :-) I've been playing it for a few weeks now and I still feel like a baby. It might be my incompetence or the complexity of the game. I would be interested to know how you cope with that.
been playing the beta, try going a fast expand build instead of barracks first, pull 8 workers to mass build a fast expo at 350 luminite! then you go for a few barraks after and mass bio
BEYOND ALL REASON. You should play it just for the wonderful experience of the Mico Mechanics Alone! I literally cant believe that their micro mechanic design has not been adopted by every RTS game, there is no better game when it comes to microing your units. Its Also an amazing game.
great games Harst! 😀 I'm getting annoyed with the mini map placement in Stormgate. I feel like they shouldn't allow you to choose, they should just pick left or right and force everyone to use that. This is a turf war waiting to happen 😆
Captain, I think you missed the multi worker build for faster expansion (also the bob overcharge thing which can be like a chrono boost but except for building buildings)
i dont know a lot of this game Captain but it look very very worst then starcraft i dont really see the point of playing a gaem so like starcraft when we have starcraft ... only logical reason is if the games look and feels better and i dont think that this is the case ... good video like always

@@pschafer89 you're damn right about that 😔 it's a shame (but maybe fitting) that the world's lingua franca is a hodgepodge of clashing influences that barely functions
The game feels really fun to play and its not even finished. Every new build has been better, and I cant wait to see the finished game. Gonna be sick having a blizzard style game that actually gets support from the developers. Its going to bring a lot of new people to the genre. Its easy to see thats what they are going for. I know because Im one of them. Started playing Starcraft about a month ago because I thought it would make good practice for the vangaurd race during this beta access week. Its pretty awesome that its fun to play with only the first 2 races, its gonna be even more varied when they add the third. Even when I get cheesed and want to pull my teeth out because im still bad at the game, Im still queing up for more. That seems like a sign its good to me. They want WC3 and SC2 players to like it, but they arnt making it just for them. They are aiming for people like me. I played C&C and AoE2 a little when i was a kid on my Dads pc. that was about 15 years ago and I havnt touched the genre until like I said, about a month ago. I play League of Legends, the worlds most popular pvp game. Thats who this game is trying to appeal to. They are going to copy the business model. The art style is already looking like summoners rift, without the polish. The noob friendly control scheme with your macro buttons all on the same keys as champion abilities helps the transition. Open your eyes guys. They want a piece of that HUGE market and oldheads are just a piece of it. And thats OK. It got me playing starcraft2, it got me to buy WarCraft3. They are great games, but Blizzard doesnt give a shit about them. And thats unfortunate. Thats why this game has so much potentional to be great. Look at League in season 1 and compare it to now, season 14. And you know, maybe it doesnt gain the audience it needs to keep going as long as league has. But even if the game is getting updates for 6 months after release, it will have been infinately more content than SC2 gives us.
I just cannot fathom how you spend so much time developing a game - one that looks mechanically decent at the very least - and not realise that the design is so utterly devoid of character. What about this is supposed to appeal to people, other than hardcore RTS fans? Feels like such a waste of what might be a good game, hidden under a completely uninspired exterior.
It comes down to poor leadership with a lack of creative vision. It's really quite sad because I can imagine Stormgate being used as a reason for future RTS games not to get funded.
For how much pride the game takes in bettering the UI, they still won't just place your buildings at the closest possible distance to resources if you just place your cursor to it closer than the nearest possible location. It's so fiddly this way.
graphics seem to be trying too hard to be WC3, while not actually achieving the fidelity or framerate... And WC3 was released in 2002... I hope this improves, but it might be too late to change the direction...
