Awesome game. From my time playing Frigate, most people used Celestials like this every game, but eased off over time. While they have the flexibility to easily proxy, their units aren't strong enough to provide a big power spike at the start of a game, and the inherent weaknesses of not having any base defenses were still there. The faction definitely had some weird balance due to their unique design, but hopefully it hits a nice equilibrium.
SUPERB match! This totally looks like so many early games against Celestials. I'm so surprised it wasn't a blowout by either side as that's almost always the way it ends.
Great hold. not sure how I feel about loading sieged up units into transports though. I recall that being patched out in sc2 because it was too strong.
I was hoping to finally be done with cannon rushes 😂. Props to Percival on the hedgehog drops. I wouldn't miss cloaked units either, but it already looks like vanguard has a tier 3 unit with active camouflage
First Video I've seen from you, great casting! Insta subscribed and hoping to see a lot more Stormgate on your channel in the future, especially when early access opens their gates for everyone.
Yoooo! dude thanks for the comment, that's really awesome to read! I'm an established aoe4 caster and content creator but made this channel for stormgate and am really unsure how the crowd would find my casting with stormgate. Its great to read your comment, hoping I can continue to improve and learn to cast stormgate better! 🙌
@@FarmManOfficial-Stormgate Right, now that you mention it I do know you! :D I saw some of your videos back when AoE4 released, but back then I lost interest in the game shortly after release. Liked your videos at that time too. Keep 'em videos coming!
Yeh don't blame ya the game was really in a bad state on release, it's a gazillion times better now though thankfully! Sad because I imagine they burned a lot of bridges with a poor launch
12:15 how did my ass burn when the player went to defend the base for the armada, I had to go in exchange and demolish the enemy's base because that army was divided, and you have towers just in case
@@FarmManOfficial-Stormgate I participated in the free beta test, then the key was taken away from me, unfortunately my computer gives 20-30 fps so I couldn't fully try out the game
Even if it turns out to be balanced at pro level, I'm not sure this ability of Celestials to build "in your face" right at the start is healthy for the game. It's going to be an absolute noob killer and completely dominate the lower leagues in which people don't "study" much how to parry cheese. Canon rushes in SC2 have induced many ragequits away from multiplayer and this is that all over again (arguably even worse, as celestials can build their whole base in your face, whereas Protoss can only start the cannon rush with a pylon, a much weaker structure)
Yeh very much agree, I think there are cheeses and then there is in your face annoying cheeses that are crazy suffocating lol. Maybe they'll find a way to reduce the suffocation
That was weak af.... Like the dude literally only built teir 1 units and then lost.... full map control for over 10 minutes tons of money and yet only the most basic unit you can build.
I love how the celestials shake up the gameplay. haven't had this much fun watching RTS matches in quite some time. great casting too!
Same! Celestials really look different from the other two especially in how they play! Thanks for watching hope you enjoy the upcoming casts!

👌 they definitely play interesting, curious to see how the Devs change things for EA!
that was quite a defense and reversal from Percival!
The moment we’ve all been waiting for 🧀

It seems annoying as heck to have to deal with LOL
I found You and Stormgate through this channel. Really enjoying Your casting. Keep it up hehe
Yooo thanks so much! lots more to come!

I'm not sure what you're saying here tbh

I use a translator, if something is not clear, you will forgive me
No problem! 💙 Were you one of the players?

ah its protoss vs terran all over again...?
I wouldn't know, not really played Sc2, someone in the comments, is this fella right? 😛
yep. protoss vs terran but better.
Cellestials is completly diffrent than Protoss. They even don't have normal workers. Flying buildings. Playing them is totally diffrent game.
