    Wow this actually looks amazing. Reminds me of Supreme Commander, I used to play Forged Alliance Forever back in the day. Good times.

        Yeah the more I look into it, I see that it takes direct inspiration from Total Annihilation and SupCom. I messaged my friends who used to play Forged Alliance with me and at least a couple of them have already played this game.

        I’ve been waiting for over a decade for a new game in this mold. It’s not just an RTS, it’s a very specific kind of strategic RTS that has a much greater scale than a tactical RTS like Starcraft. I like that it’s more focused on macro than micro.

        And the fact you can do 16 player matches is just epic. Supreme Commander was originally limited to 4v4 and then they eventually modded in the ability to play 6v6, but it would frequently cause the framerate to drop to slideshow levels. Can’t wait to try this game out!

          Oh it’s 100% inspired by TA, I played that game so much as a kid and this one is it’s spiritual successor IMO

    I’ve played it for a bit, and it’s a decently fun and well-made game! My only gripe is that it requires an email for signup; I wish it would only require a username and password. For most users, though, I’d wager that that’s a pretty minor issue.

      Just a note for those interested in the local play aspect of it like I was.

      You don’t need to create an account to play the game locally.

      You can just exit out of the first menu and play the scenarios that are available.

    Started playing BAR recently and am loving it. Prior to this I’d only played some SC2 and watched some videos about FAF.

    I’ve been playing with my 8yr kiddo against bots as we both learn the mechanics. The amount you can customize a match has been great.

    Also been watching the pro league tournaments on their YouTube channel which are great fun to watch.

    what distros are tou guys using.? In my Fedora it lags horribly in the main screen (after the launcher), but works fine after the game starts.

    This game is fantastic. At first you got to get used to setting up production lines and how to tech up quickly, but once you got the hang of it, its super fun, even just vs AI.
