Supreme Commander Gold (The original SC, plus expansion Forged Alliance) is on sale for $4. This is one of the greatest RTSs ever made. http://store.steampowered.com/sub/11732 / Seeing as this is one of the primary influences for AotS, I thought people might like to know.

Please let us zoom out at least as far as in your picture. It still looks very playable to me. Forget about icons but give us the zoom. You wanted feedback from

By no means do I want to turn AotS into SC3 or anything, just trying to remember what made games like that special. Understand if stuff like that doesn't make launch, but hopefully it will be con

I remember playing some custom Starcraft maps with infinite upgrades, and it was always a chore to keep up with that one opponent who had 15 attack power upgrades. [/
One of the great things about Dune II, TA, or SC1 are the wide variety of unit locomotions, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. For example, wheeled/tracked units tend to be tougher, but are limited in the terrain they can traverse, while walking units are a bit weaker, but can get up slopes and stuff. It makes for more strategic options. I know Brad mentioned they were going with all hover units, that this simplifies pathfinding. But it also simplifies str
[quote who="OoohShiny" reply="3" id="3599622"] 2 million? No more excuses for people claiming PA did what it could for low budget. I dont get the whole wreckage hype. It is rather annoying (for me), makes the battlefield uglier, and probably consumes a lot of Ram. And the extra metal you gained by it never really was worth the effort.
