minus-squarenii236@lemmy.jtmn.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up14·edit-22 years agoBeyond All Reason is AMAZING. I can’t say enough about it. Its my favourite game, and totally annihilates (!) the competition. Though I guess the competition is pretty small for large scale RTS. Maybe: Total Annihilation Supreme Commander Ashes of the Singularity Sins of the Solar Empire (sorta) BAR has fixed all the UI/UX problem, scales well, has a big community, is free, fun, and super deep and complex.
minus-squareVitaly@feddit.ukOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·2 years agoI don’t really like this type of games but the game looks pretty cool
minus-squarenii236@lemmy.jtmn.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 years agoYeah its a specific type of person that would enjoy it, perhaps a Factorio/Factory Must Grow genre mixed with small scale RTS. Still, playing 20v20 games are incredible.
minus-squareselzAm@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoHad too scroll way too far for BAR. It’s amazing!
minus-squarenii236@lemmy.jtmn.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoIts also gone gangbusters over the past few months, unsure why. Hundreds of concurrent players at any time which is pretty amazing.
minus-squareFarceOfWill@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoAlso ZeroK, on the same springRTS engine
minus-squarenii236@lemmy.jtmn.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoZero K is also great, but they’ve changed the gameplay a lot from the original TA
minus-squareSyreniac@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoZeroK has some of the nicest QoL features I’ve seen in an RTS game, I’ve always wanted to see if the other big Spring games are similar.
minus-squarenii236@lemmy.jtmn.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoI found all the ZK ones made it to BAR, right click formations, area mexes, repeat queues, fancy waypointing etc. Maybe its just an inherent part of Spring RTS so they all share the benefits, who knows.
