The game is OK I guess

they FINALLY released territory mode? i guess i'll give it a try then. i really enjoyed the base campaign then was disappointed by the expansions they put out. didn't like the new units and i found the mission design to be tedious and focusing on the least fun aspects of the game.
but the new maps in the trailers look like a step in the right direction

am i reading this right? it's not a risk-style campaign map, just something akin to how Company of Heroes maps have territories and control points?

i found that the base campaign was great but a little too slow in the beginning to teach you the game, didnt care much for the raising hell dlc, but really liked the city dlc and it was fun/tough. the few maps i've played are fun.

it's similar to coh, yeah. the controlpoints give stars to buy units/upgrades/buildings/etc. each unit you call in lowers your income. there's a bar at the top that slowly fills over time and allows new arachnid types to show up, calls a bug horde, etc.
the overworld just has you selecting various missions on the different planets to do. some missions unlock new techs/units for you to use. no research/units carry over from previous missions (from the few missions i've played), so you have to spend your stars in each mission to research riflemen tech/engineers/building towers/etc like in most RTS games.

>no research/units carry over from previous missions
That's kinda pointless. So it's just an elaborate skirmish mode instead of a proper game mode.

When would you say it became great? I played some dozen missions back when it came out and got bored to tears.

Saw this, reinstalled. The game is still pure braindead dogshit.

>>2182459
you quit right before it becomes great. it becomes great on mission 13

>>2182459
unironically, it's around mission 12/13/14 where the game starts getting difficult/fun on the brutal difficulty. cant remember the exact one as i played the campaign a year ago, but its around there.

>pure braindead
it's not braindead at all

You don't have to autistically bump your shit thread on a board this slow. Dumbass.

Its trash

none pvp rts is lame.
alright game got some neat elements would have liked to give it a shot in pvp with all the choke points and formations stuff, transports and all that would have been neat with a real opponent. insted you are slowly just wipeing out bugs from their holes.

the game sadly isn't finished, recent updates have shown promise though
