Tell us more!
We would be interested in hearing what you think of what we have shown so far. Naturally its difficult for you to make judgement when there isn't much for you to use or see but that will all change in Feb.
When the updated site goes live with access unlocked to testers we will be expecting a large amountof feedback in a short period of time as there will more than likely be areas of the site that aren't ready at all to handle the stress of players. As such the testing will begin a period of activity dedicated to ironing out these areas.
Testing and Stuff...
Towards the end of this month expect an update on how the testing will be structured and what times to expect your emails. That’s it really - so if you could just provide us with what you think of the battle system purchasing units and more it would be really beneficial. Have your say in the comments or contact us! Thank you
I think so far it is unclear on how the actual combat will be shown. Will you control the physical 3d units or make decisions on a menu and watch them play out in real time?
Faced is partially correct. There will be 2 modes in total (to begin with). The first will allow players to select another player, and then begin a battle. They can then choose which units to use and the battle will begin whilst you spectate as displayed in the most recent video we posted of the battle system.
The second mode will be like Halo Wars, with a player starting a mission which has predefined units, or specific ones. On start, it will open up a Unity Player which has an RTS environment.
The upcoming testing will be for the former type of battle system, and in addition currently (until testing is underway) - ALL units go to battle, not just a selection.
I was hoping for it to be like Halo wars, sounds awesome and i cant wait to take part, also are you considering making a launcher for the game so we can choose between the launcher or browser? I like to be able to launch it from my computer and not browser but i dont know if thats just me or not:p
A launcher sounds like a great idea to me.
How about hidden items :)
Already have those integrated - however they won't be a priority in the test.
