The writing and humor in this game has already been on-point, but I knew this would have some particular gems just based on the chemical weapons focus.
3:25 is a reference to a Terran News network scene in the 1998 movie. The small room with a single dead cow is from a scene where they release a warrior bug into a room with a cow to see how quickly it can tear it apart. ua-cam.com/video/znYHzIqfc2Q/v-deo.html
On that day, the sarcasm and total joy of dumb shit in games shall reach critical mass, and thus only RTgames or Spiff could come to balance it out. (Or all four get into a heated HOI4 modded Game, which probably ends in them all losing to random Ai called Frank)
Obligatory book explanation: the M.I. in the book DOES use chemical weapons, but the nerve gas used by them isn't harmful to humans, but will kill the warrior and worker bugs. It also comes out as a black, oily, heavier than air gas that will descend down their bugholes, so they would toss an nerve gas bomb and then close the hole with an HE grenade
What's funny is that the sheer fact that the gas is that effective against tanker bugs even on the hardest difficulty made me physically pog in amazement
Haven't even watched the video yet and I can already tell Rimmy's about to make the Geneva Convention look like the Geneva Suggestion. Does it even count against alien bugs? Probably not, but it's funny.
10:36 lmao, it's only been a day but that still didn't age too well Or maybe he immediately realized it was Ukraine's missile, and he wants to take back some of their land
and, pray tell, what do you think the Ukrainian missile was trying to do? It aged fine. No one in Poland apart from vatnik simps blame Ukraine lmao, Poland has consistently supported Ukraine throughout the invasion. If Russia wasn't firing missiles, Ukraine wouldn't be firing SAMs.
@@RimmyDownunder the meme implies Polish Johnny Rico wants to kill all the people who launched the missile. At the time, everyone thought it was a Russian Missile. Now, we know it was a Ukrainian missile. I know Poland doesn't blame the Ukrainians, that's why it didn't age well. It went from 'kill all Russians' to 'kill all Ukrainians', which is of course ironic given Poland's support throughout the invasion. Granted, NATO is starting to get fussy with Ukraine and Zelensky since he just keeps lying and keeps trying to say there's no proof it was a Ukrainian missile, even though, as you say, literally nobody blames them for this. Very funny stuff.
If you enjoy the transitioning from above ground to underground (and vice versa) thing Armies of Exigo was a fun little game that had that mechnic, though good luck finding any way to get it to run on Windows 10.

Okay, here's a thought. Reinforcements come down in waves. You have 1 minute between waves to call down dropships, and with the dropship recharge mechanic, you may have to choose who to call in and who to reinforce. Might have to only allow 1 squad to reenforce at a time per dropship. Or have something like 10-15 troops per ship. Some way to balance it out.
The bugs probably utilize some sort of pheromonal based communication system. There should be an upgrade or alternative weapon that basically uses fake-pheromone bombs to misdirect the bugs, at least temporarily.
Honestly, this game needs to make it so you can play AS the Bugs, even if it does end up being similar to the Zerg in StarCraft, you can't exactly help but think of the amount of fun it would be to play as the horde for once.
It’s odd my dad said when he was in the military, whenever they made announcements over the intercom at any military base he said the intercom would say “Now hear this, Now hear this….(message)”. Not sure if they still do that.
The game should honestly have a custom survival mode that lets you pick which bugs can show up and how many bugs should show up. Imagine being able to play against waves of tankers, or unending hordes of Warrior and Tiger bugs, or even just being able to say "no scorpion bugs"
Honestly didn't ever realize you were apart of the yogscast, or is it just as a merch platform? Though to be fair, I haven't really paid attention to the yogscast these past couple of years, they seem so much different now days to me

It remind me. In Starship troopers book Mobile Infantry use special nerve gas to disable bugs but gas have no effect on soldiers. They use it against bug nests because cleaning with MI was very costly... Well to battle of Planet P every MI clearing of bug nest was complete massacre.
so I got the game for myself and it's way better playing for yourself and but of an unpopular opinion, the default troopers are actually viable. why you may ask? hoppers, with the priority targets available the default guys make good AA
When it comes to scorpion bugs, I would recommend halving their health in the files it’s not hard, also they did receive a nerf in range, but so did their counter, the rocket troopers making the nerf basically pointless
