The three available factions on release will be the Republic, the sith empire and the mandalorians. I think Corey also said that they want to add the hutts in the future, but not at first.

Hutts are going to be an inactive faction this patch cycle, but Corey plans to make them an active faction later. The problem is that the devs have to make new assets for the Hutts, and the Mandalorians, Republic, and Sith are already a lot of work to create full rosters for.

Stopped reading there, the median voter wants 3% or lower inflation (which isn't contradictory with a "booming economy" nor with a tight labour market); a double digit deflationary economy would stagnate harder than the japanese did.

People want lots of things, they never said they were one person or that they think it's realistic.

People love to assume a single guy is responsible for a game being good or bad when it's made by a team of people.
Think of it more like football than movies. Everyone has to work together and big teams often involve a lot of different directors for different parts of the game.
Either way, shit happened during development of Spore and it was supposed to be something much, MUCH grander. Not to mention how fucking underbaked that shitty space stage is.

am I getting bad RNG or do base-stat spells do fuck all against anything? I just cast Fire Bolt on some spearmen and they didn't even notice.
>>
>>1755458
a fully charged firebolt can kill a unit of spearmen if you are extremely lucky, if they are veteran or above its basically not gonna happen tho
>>
>>1755458
fire bolt is basic spell, spells have the same rule as normal damage aka 30% hit chance (unless its something like chaos bolt) and get reduced by armor, when hitting multi figure unit its better to use something like fire ball cause it hits all units at once

I've replayed the campaigns recently and loved it. I usually play SC2 but am interested in doing WC3 ladder. Is it possible to get into as a new player or will it be like Brood War where all I can do is get stomped by people who have been playing for 20 years?

>co-op with a friend on voice and on insane difficulty
How the hell can you manage that? I can easily beat insane AI in 1v1s etc but the co-op campaign was kicking our asses on hard. I can't think of any amount of extra micro or macro that would save us on insane difficulty in the harder missions of Frozen Throne.
>>
>>1757682
Understandable. My favorite streamer plays it so it's a pretty good game.

No, it's just the original SW4 plus all its DLCs. The "expansion", 4-II, was already on Steam ages ago.

Compared to BAR it actually has a campaign mode. But if you expect comfy turtling, you're wrong.
The enemy is diabolically aggressive, base defenses are completely worthless, and you get merciless secondary objectives like 'destroy [x buildings] in six minutes', making the game very hectic and micro-intensive. I guess it's meant to groom players for multiplayer, but it sure makes things harsh.
Also, what's up with the resource costs? Everything costs the same amount of metal and energy - why even have two separate resources? If it was just the metal, the game would be immediately debloated and more enjoyable. These costs also mean that you're always short on metal, and there are no metal makers in the game whatsoever. It plays nothing like TA is what I'm saying.

all I know is that it seems like Homeorld 2 again - the gameplay is really really good and story is very decent, although a comma is missing from one sentence.

What is it about the pike & shot era that scares strategy game devs so much? Literally more strategy games have been set in the Bronze Age than in the pike & shot era.
