My question is, do the planets actually get blown up? Will there be a planetcracker?

That is all nice and well, but can someone actually tell me a decent Sprint RTS mod/game with a proper AI and a proper lobby (with links?) that is not TA Balanced and NOT TA AT ALL... because if I wanted to play TA, I would do that (have the original and all bonus units ever released...)
Evolution RTS looks like the only decent non-TA spring rts from what I can tell. I would have tried it, but i don't really wanna bother with *another* distribution platform (Desura).

Eh Desura is kinda handy for easily downloading mods and updating them though....

LOL so my first experience with evolution RTS....

1) Starting bot match was confusing as hell, but OK, it worked.. so 1 bot match..

2) Oh, it is exactly like sup-com.. builds 2 metal and 8 gens

3) Huh, why can I only build 1 unit (engineers) in the factory...
4) HUH? why can I only build 1 defense building despite having economy...

Or basically.. HUUUUUUH? I don't get this mod.

Yeah my looking already ended as far as Sprint rts goes ^^ I remembered what a pain in the backside the lobby system was.

Wrong way bro. We want LARGER scale, not less.

Yeah, well the RTS genre is painfully underpopulated ::) The last major non-silly release of an RTS was arguably Forged Alliance/C&C4/SupCom 2 (depending on which you're anti-fanboyed vs), and the only real prospects that are upcoming is maybemaybemaybe C&C Generals 2, as well as Planetary Annihilation (ofc). Spring is around but that's a bunch of TA clones and then some lame original works, and... yeah. Lemme do some googling...

The RTS genre is underpopulated because most RTS games are unbalanced.

All RTS games made by Electronic Arse are retardedly unbalanced. The "good guys" are always overpowered and the "bad guys" are just bad.. literally. Perfect examples of this are the Battle For Middle-Earth games (Gondor and Rohan) and C&C Generals (USA).

Sins of a Solar Empire (dunno bout Rebellion) is a bit unbalanced.

I think Wh40k DoW2 was unbalanced too not sure.

Rome Total War (Roman Legionaries or something like that) was retardedly unbalanced too. If you saw your enemy playing Rome you could as well save time and quit the game.

Heroes of Might and Magic III was unbalanced (Angels rock, Devils suck {again good guys>bad guys[otherwise I loved this game]}). The best units were Arch Angels>Titans>Black Dragons/Ancient Behemoths.. and everything else compared to these units were bad.

And then what balanced RTS games we have.... um.. Starcraft 1 and 2? LOL. If I remember right Heroes of Might and Magic IV was quite balanced too. Oh and Civilizations II was balanced! I still have that game.. in fact I'm looking at the cd case right now. How balanced is the newest Civilization? I tried the demo but I didn't like the fact that it DOESN'T HAVE A WORLD MAP?!?! LOL.. the only world map I could get was a MOD I would have to manually download and install. But maybe I could overcome that if the game itself is good.

AI War is quite balanced too but it's not famous. AI War does have some obviously useless ships that should be simply buffed without any polls (Anti-Starship Arachnid, Infiltrator, Deflector Drone, NYCommando, Grenade Launcher).

I wouldn't call C&C4 a serious release, but thats a whole 'nother argument.

C&C Generals 2, as far as recent news goes, is not going to be much of a serious thing, unless the most recent video is about EA's F2P C&C idea and not the actual Generals 2 with less title.

By the way, Planetary Annihilation was successfully funded yesterday. Now we're headed for the stretch goals.

It's looking like we'll easily make at least one or two stretch goals. If I had money I'd be giving them it right now, so I can play this game as soon as possible... I'm pretty excited about blowing up my friend's planets... and also giving my friends, who love level design, the level editor to make galaxies designed to ruin my life.

I found it early enough to get into the $15 tier, so I'm good with leaving it at that, I don't have much to spend right now anyway.

I'm content with the cost of 20$, and I'm debating the 40$ option. I'll probably stick with 20.
