 So here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna go and we're gonna play a little bit of Stormgate here. Here, Stormgate's the new RTS. This is not a sponsor, but we got a chance to be able to stream this, which is kind of sick. A lot of the dev team for this game are the people who made Warcraft, the people that made Starcraft. They've started their own studio, Frost Giant, and this is a very, very, very exciting sort of thing. People are hyped up about this if you're an old school RTS player. I love RTS games. I grew up playing Starcraft, especially Starcraft. Actually, I liked Starcraft more than I liked Warcraft. As much as I like WoW, I liked Starcraft more. My first RTS, I think, was Warcraft 2, Battle in the Edition. This is from the same people that made Warcraft 3 and Starcraft. Yeah, Starcraft 2 is free to play now. Actually, so Stormgate will also be free to play, and it's like going off the same model. Like the same sort of monetization model of what Starcraft 2 is now, not at launch, but what it is now is what they're going to be basing it off of. Look, Stormgate just put out this video today, or Frost Giant just put out the video today, for the next 10 years of RTS games. Hello, and welcome to the Stormgate Kickstarter. I'm Tim Campbell. I'm the Game Director and President here at Frost Giant Studios. And we are here assembling some of the world's greatest RTS developers who've worked on some of the biggest franchises in the genre to come together to build the next evolution for the real-time strategy genre. Welcome to Stormgate. They have an honor mode now? RTS of all time. And to us, that means a lot of different things. First, it starts with core gameplay. We're opening up the RTS experience to new players through new games. Co-op, competitive custom games. This is what me and Asmin are going to do today. We're going to do 3v3 versus AI. So you want to get right into ladder and play hardcore competitive. We have content for you in Stormgate. To build this vision, we had to start first with the technology and tell us to bring it to life. I'm James Anhalt, the chief architect here at Frost Giant, and I'm here to show you the custom tech we built for Stormgate. It transforms Unreal Engine 5 into the most state-of-the-art real-time strategy game engine. Get ready for snow play. Supports thousands of units, hyper responsive gameplay view. Up to 32 players at once. Mass spectating. Hot join, reconnect, replays. Rollback, using simulated and high latency. I want to see that. I want to see that. Snow play. Using simulated high latency conditions, they have rollback. So if you're lagging, it comes from fighting games. If you're lagging, it makes it feel like you're not lagging. Make Stormgate a truly next-gen real-time strategy game. And we can't wait for you to get your hands on it and play. At Early Access, we will have three distinct asymmetric factions, each with their own unique gameplay, their own unique identity, and core mechanics that are unique to them. We began developing Stormgate by focusing on our 1v1 mode initially. This allowed us to make sure that the game was responsive, and it's felt good, and the game blew us away. The response to our earliest pre-alpha test was that it was already incredibly fun. And so we've carried that with us forward into other modes. Discovery, this is command. We're kicking off Early Access with the first few chapters of an epic sweeping campaign that will allow you to experience the story of Stormgate, either solo or cooperatively with your friends. As an extension to our universe, we're building an expanding roster of hero characters that you can use in the single-player campaign or co-op as you're exploring the story, but that you can also lead into battle in the three versus AI cooperative mode or in the three... A co-op campaign sounds kinda cool. ...and we're building after Early Access. We're then taking the technology and the tools that we've used to build all of these modes and we're planning a month to release to you so that you can really unleash your creativity and introduce the world to your own stories, your own characters, and your own mods. Storytelling is near and dear to my heart. It's why I got into the games industry and began developing this type of game in the first place. I was the lead campaign designer on Warcraft 3 and the Frozen Throne, where I contributed to some of the epic chapters in Warcraft's history. Together with the designers here at Frost Giant, we're working with Mickey Nielsen, a multiple award-winning best-selling author who helped contribute to Warcraft and Starcraft working over 23 years at Blizzard on those franchises. Do they say it in this video? You guys are gonna love this. The War Chief and one of the key creatives who came up with the vision for Warcraft and Starcraft originally. Together we've created a framework for storytelling that's going to enable us to tell an ongoing narrative for years. We partner Warcraft award-winning with the designers here at Frost Giant. Sorry, let me replay this here. We're working with Mickey Nielsen, a multiple award-winning best-selling author who helped contribute to Warcraft and Starcraft working over 23 years at Blizzard on those franchises. Additionally, early on, we partnered with Chris Metzen himself, the War Chief, and one of the key creatives who came up with the vision for Warcraft and Starcraft. So they say in the video, Chris Metzen actually helped make the campaign for this game. Chris Metzen helped make the campaign for this game before he went back to Blizzard. They were working with Metzen on this a little bit. Which is pretty sick. Before I went live last night, I was live last night for a few hours. I actually knew about this last night, but I don't want to say until today because I didn't know if they wanted me to not say or whatever. Because me and Azen were on a call with one of the devs. Alien race of infernal demonic invaders has swept into the world and destroyed civilization as we know it, subjugating all of humanity. And in the middle of this, we mixed together post-apocalyptic settings with survivors and ragtag militias and marauders and all these desperate circumstances, along with hard sci-fi elements like battle mechs and spaceships and cybernetics. And then we introduced through the others these fantasy elements with dark magic and sorcery and rituals. At the end of the day, what we really want to do is be able to have a mech bunch of dragon. I had the pleasure of working on the Starcraft 2 version of co-op, and it was a mode that I loved dearly. We see Stormgate's highly replayable three-player co-op mode as an evolution of that mode in which there are even more replayable missions. There are more opportunities to corroborate. In addition, enemies will be more varied. There will be more dynamic occurrences in every given map. One of our primary design goals with Stormgate co-op will be a new experience every time you play. A large part of what makes Stormgate co-op very exciting is the heroes that we have planned for you all. The Stormgate hero is not only just a unit on the battlefield, it's also a brand new array of global abilities you can use anywhere on the map and new units that are very specific to the hero itself. Let's take our first co-op hero, Blockade from the Vanguard faction. Blockade is known for being a resilient fighter supporting his teammates with heals and buffs. But Blockade's not just about defense. As one of the most grizzled fighters in the Vanguard army, he'll be able to jump into the battlefield and swing his hammer around to strike fear into enemies. Blade Storm? And in a pinch, he'll be able to help his allies from across the map. He's like a warrior paladin. Not only himself, but his units across the battlefield. He's like Garrett, warrior paladin. Blockade is really a mode for everyone and we can't wait for you to try. In more than 20 years, real-time strategy games have been a leader in the world of competitive gaming. Dreamhack? In Stormgate, we want it to be easier than ever to compete. Our goal is to reduce the points of friction to enter events and play with your friends, find out who the best player in your school, in your town, in your city is. If you follow a content creator, if you're part of an online community, we want you to be able to play with your friends and other people in that same group. We want you to be able to spin up a tournament and just be competing immediately. That's sick, actually. Dude, community tournaments. At Frost Giant, we see competition as more than just esports. It's about community. It's about empowering and facilitating the community with what they love and to let them do what they want to do without dictating it to them from the top. So much damage over time on the high ground here. God's trying to snowball, but they're just going to take a massive shot. We've already gotten the game into the hands of some of the most skilled players in the world and the results have been phenomenal. It's been fun to watch. It's been super interesting to play and really exciting to see. The RTS genre has a long and glorious history with editors being released to the community. We've seen entire new genres spring out of the Warcraft editor, for example, with Tower Defense and MOBAs. That started out as RTS mods and maps and then grew into entire new genres that have dominated the gaming industry. We aim to continue that tradition. Our team worked directly on the editors for Warcraft and for Starcraft. We built content with them and we actually helped build the tools themselves. We're rolling all of that knowledge and experience into the tools for Stormgate to release to you. The map maker. Yes, let's go through the map maker. They're built directly into the map itself. Yes, let's go. That's sick. And editing mode. Huge, actually huge dude. Dude, I used to spend hours in Starcraft 1 doing this. The maps were terrible, but I spent so much time doing that, man. Oh my gosh. Dude, I just have massive memory unlock. Of course. Oh my gosh. Dude, I just had the biggest, like, uh... Hours, man. Hours. We thought that this was the best way to give the community what they're asking for. Dude, I used to have... Dude, I had AOL, man. I had AOL. We had dial-up internet. So I couldn't play all the time, like online. So I would play the campaign mode and I would just make custom maps all the time, dude. Oh, dude. I just... Dude, I had just the biggest, like... Dude, I just had the biggest, like, nostalgia just... Oh my gosh, dude. I loved the Starcraft map maker, man. Oh my gosh. That was amazing, man. I got my career straight and making Starcraft 2 arcade games as good times. That's so cool, man. Gaming is coming back. Gaming is back, baby. RTS is back, baby. Let's go, dude. We received a lot of requests for physical merchandise. Also, we've received an overwhelming number of requests for how players can get into the beta. Online multiplayer testing is really expensive and we haven't made any money to date yet. Through Kickstarter, we can expand the beta pool and allow more players to get into the game while supporting Stormgate. One of the great things about Kickstarter is it allows us to deliver a Stormgate physical collector's edition. The Vulcan Mech is one of the defining units of the Vanguard Army and we decided to make the Vulcan Mech the centerpiece of our collector's edition. Ooh! Here, you see a fully-painted prototype of our six and a half inch Vulcan statue. We're really excited to build Stormgate with you and for you and to have you be a part of this journey and help shape the game that we're creating. This is the beginning of the next ten years for the RTS genre. I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts at Frost Giant for being a part of this process and helping to bring this game to life. Dude. Dude, I'm hype, man. I mean, these are the guys. If anybody in the world is going to come out with an RTS and have it be right, it's going to be these guys. I'm excited, man. I'm excited to get to play, man. I'm excited to get to play today, dude. Oh, man, I spent... I spent so much time playing Starcraft, man. I spent... I had Starcraft 1, dude. I loved it. I loved it. So, damn. I hope you guys are excited, man. I hope you guys are excited about RTS games, about all this stuff, man. I really hope you are, because I'm so, so excited about it, man. I'm so... I'm excited about everything, man. Gaming is just great right now, man. It really is. It really, really is. Here, Azman's calling me. You see, I just need to get one. Like, this is an old PC. Yeah. I know exactly what the problem is. You know what up? Can you hear me? Yeah, dude. Did you watch the video they just put out, like an hour ago? No, no. It's worth the watch if you have some time. It's really good. All right. Awesome. Is Finn ready? I believe so. Okay. I'm going to create a game and I can try and do that. And we'll do, I guess, broken crown hinterlands. Okay. Let me reload the game here. I'll make a private lobby, and then I can just give you guys whatever the invite is. I don't really know exactly how this works. Yeah. I'll be ideal. Okay. All right. Dude, I'm so hyped, man. After watching that video, I was already excited. You've got to watch the video after. You have to. Your chat's going to love it. Okay. All right. That's going to be so good. Yeah. I made a private lobby except for the ideas and the fucking. Oh, I, you know, I try to add. Community tournaments on custom maps. Content is going to be insane. You guys want to draw? Okay. Yeah, it's probably a better idea. I'll just join you. Okay. Finn's game. And I will, I guess joined by ID. Oh, it's a private lobby. Can you like link the thing? It's private. Wait. It says join lobby by ID. You can get a lobby ID from your friend who has created the private. Oh, got it. Yeah. Let's let's do the wreck havoc map. So, Finn, you played a little bit of the alpha for this game. Right. That's right. Oh boy. Expert. All right. Great. Let's see. So now I guess I go this little thing infested ready to blow her on a schedule. Like, what is this thing? This drop down menu for none. So these are mutators, which I think we leave off for now. Okay. Let's just, yeah, let's just play the game raw. Yeah. In fact, I mean, my recommendation is we go to beginner because I don't know what to expect with this co-op map. And then we bump it up. That's what I think we do. Well, no, let's, let's do normal. Let's do normal. Let's start on normal. And then if we can't beat it, then we do, we do beginner. I think we can easily be normal. We're like, what, what difficulty measures do they even have? Uh, it's like they got beginner, normal, hard and brutal. And then there's the modifiers. Oh, yeah. I think we should just do normal. Okay. Uh, I'm playing on beginner eyes. Screw that. You guys can, you guys can play on the hard modes if you want. I'm a beginner. Well, of course, I think it averages it. So it'll bring you. All right. All right. So we got that. And then for mutators, I'm not going to worry about that yet. And I, so like, what are the mutators? Like, how does that work? Um, let's see. There is infested, which is when any enemy unit or sorry, when any unit dies, an enemy fiend is spawned. So there's essentially more to kill. Yeah. Ready to blow. We'll make it so that if an enemy unit dies, they drop an explosive that detonates after a short to play. Smith applause. Shortly. So, and then the last one on a schedule reduces the time between attack waves and convoys. So quicker waves. So basically like the, they attack faster. They blow up whenever they die. So like, these are like affixes that you can apply to the other, like the enemies in order to make them harder to kill. Uh, yeah. I mean, they each do that specific thing, but they all translate to. This is going to be harder. Okay. Right. Yeah. At the end of the day, that's the outcome. Okay. Um, I think I'm pretty much good to go. I'm going to play the infernals at the beginning. I'll go, I'll go Vanguard. Okay. Uh, okay. So here's the thing I specifically for, for us then too. So blockade, which we were already selecting. This is the version of Vanguard that has the hero blockade. Yeah. And again, just so you know, what I was told is that this is tuned balance wise for blockade. Oh, so I might as well blockade. Yeah. You may as well go blockade. Okay. So it'll be a slightly different version of Vanguard. Uh, there's like a buff type of unit with blockade. Um, but you can obviously play any of these other ones. You just be technically at a disadvantage without a hero. Right. Just keep that in mind. But yeah, we'll do whatever we want. You know what? I think I'll play blockade on the second match. I want to try infernals at the beginning because that's what I'm really interested about because they've got like that weird tech stuff with like the white health and like all that. And I'll play blockade second. And so like blockade is like the hero unit. That's right. Yep. That's the name of the hero unit. Yeah. Uh, but he also affects the base faction too. Okay. A few small ways. So that's cool. Oh shit. Oh, sorry. All right, let's go. We're in. We're in. Watch this. Sick. Oh my gosh. A little bit. Smaller. Okay. So our workers, our workers immediately start right off the bat. They're already gathering. So we don't have to select them and gather. So we're all next to each other again. Oh yeah. Okay. Okay. Under attack. Okay. Oh yeah. Okay. Under attack. Okay. So then talk to units. All right. Full position control. Okay. Train units. Build structures. Build shrine. Okay. The shrine is your like essentially command center. Yeah. Meat farms and houses. I see. So you can hold down and shift and construct multiple things. Yeah. That's how you stack commands. Okay. And then I'll make some imps. Yeah. Damn. They're fast. They are. Holy shit. Okay. So I'm building this already. And then this like these little things here. I guess this is like gas kind of. Yeah. Like yeah. The green ones. Uh huh. Yeah. I think that's like that's a gas. Yeah. It's like the gas. They call it. What is it? Okay. There's the secondary. Oh. Ethereum like the like so I'm mining crypto. Yeah. Yeah. It's great. Actually. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I got it. Okay. And there's a maximum amount of workers that you can have. And like one of these things. Okay. And I guess like with the infernals like they craft automatically. Which is a pretty interesting. Yeah. Yeah. You want them in waves. So I wonder if. So I wonder if we can. Oh, okay. So so when you craft how do you how does your crafting work as man? Like D are you are you just crafting like you you make something and it just sits there. Can you have like a second guy working on it so it crafts faster. I don't think you can. I'm not sure. Usually I remember like with humans you can do that. How do I move my units? Sounds like. Kind of like click and drag. Yeah. Click and drag box. And then right click moves. Yes. Right. Left click doesn't do anything. Left click is like for selecting. Yeah. It looks like. Their allied units. Oh, that's why I was so confused. Oh my bad. Yeah. My guys are just sitting here wasting their time probably. On the mini map. They've got to mean something. I'm going to go investigate. No, I think it's probably fine. I don't think that's an issue. Oh shit. That's you. Oh shit. That's your hero. Okay. So I'm going to I'm going to follow up with you. Oh wow. Yeah. I'm moving back to hasn't base here. Okay. Let me see. Let me see. Coming in. Yeah. The computer is harder. What the frick. Okay. I've got a little iron vault. Oh. I'm going to build two of the bases here. And then. Brawl production structure. What the hell is that? Okay. I think it's a class of like fighting units for. I see. So my units sacrifice themselves to have these buildings built out of literal hell. Oh shit. Oh, so it's kind of like how. What's it called worked. Yeah. Yeah. I know. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's been a while guys. It's been like 10 years. At least. At least 10 years. Okay. Guys, we're all okay. Reminder. Yeah. Yeah. Dude. This is this feels really smooth. Okay. Yeah. I think I just off the cuff. I'm just going to assume based on what you're saying that Vanguard is probably much more. Like straightforward. Than playing in finals. Because like for me, it's like I can have I can have two guys crafting something and it goes faster. Like I can do all that. Yeah. Train more similar to other RTS games. Like that faction is. Oh shit. I've got a big boy. All right. So wait. There's a there's some sort of. Thing happening over here. Okay. I'm back up. It's just destroy this. Oh, are these like events? Kind of. Yeah. There's like something going on. I think it's a convoy. I think we have to take that before it gets across. Okay. I'm going to send over my guys. I'm going to send my boys over. All right. It was a health camp here. Slabberator. What is that? I got to use one of my abilities. I'm going to use a hammer time on this. Oh. Oh, wait. That's the whirlwind. Okay. I'm going to have them attack. I'm going to have them attack. And hopefully they'll be useful for you guys. Okay. Sick. I'm done. I think I got this poppy. I'm going to do the ritual chamber. Under attack. Where'd my guys go? Oh shit. I'm going to come with you guys. Under attack. I'm coming. I'm coming. I'm behind a little bit. I was crafting more guys. I'm not looking. I got like freaking four APM dude. Right. Alex are under attack. Good to go. Okay. Okay. Bro. Blockade has got like holy light. Yeah. Blockade is sick. This guy's whirlwinding. Jumping up. I can zee. Oh my gosh. So I can zee heal you. And there's no cooldown apparently. It just burns mana. Oh, our base under attack. Break. So we can like stand heal if we have full mana. Holy shit. I get it. All right. Yeah. Now I'm building some troops. Okay. Good. Okay. Break. Right. And then I see here. Okay. Oh my hero. Oh no. Oh, I'm upgrading my shrine now. Oh boy. That's right. I'm coming. Okay. Dude, my guys got absolutely owned. I just, I just dragged a lot of creeps over here. Okay. Okay. I healed your guy though. All right. I'm going to come with you guys. We're going with you guys. Okay. Dude, we can cross heal each other. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We can cross heal the hell out of each other. Okay. Okay. No, this is the perfect timing. Okay. Okay. On the minimap, another convoy just spawned. Okay. So we should go get that, right? It's up at the top. I think so. Okay. I assume our objective is essentially to continue to stop the convoy. I guess we'll find out. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Right to us. We got this. Okay. Okay. I got to do a little bit of a little bit of work here. Oh, somebody's crusader is here. Build ritual chamber. Oh, that's good. Okay. I'm going into this convoy. Okay. I'm going to imagine. All right. Let's go. Oh, there it is. There it is. There it is. Nice. Okay. Oh, they're getting farmed. You're directed. Okay. Good. Okay. Oh, nice. So I can heal you guys too. Let's just run down. We can heal. Yeah. We can. We can cross over. Health camp. What's this? I think if we kill this, we'll get healing for our units. Okay. Let me see. Because there's like creeps in the game. So they're neutral. Oh, I see. So we stand in it and heals us. It's like an aura. I don't know if we can get this thing though or not. Oh, I forgot about the check. My guy is just slow. We're catching up. Allies are under attack. See if this stuff works on the actual conflict. Oh, it does. Oh, nice. Nice. Nice. Okay. We're going to go in. Okay. We're doing big damage. Big damage. Big damage. Big damage. Big damage. Okay. Nice. Nice. Nice. Allies are under attack. There's like bad boys. Ask me to handle the defense. I'm working on it. I'm building centuries. Well, I guess you guys got back to my base. Allies are under attack. Here's the speed. I'm going to use them. The music is really nice. Oh, no, no, no. Oh, shit. So you, I can make these units like as fast as I want to. Allies are under attack. Like I just spawned these guys out of fucking nowhere. I think it were our middle guy, whoever it is, is getting attacked. Like I'm actually getting fucking farmed. Oh, wait. Oh my gosh. I'm coming. Okay. Okay. I think I'm okay. Wait. Oh my God. I'm dying. I don't know. I'm coming in. I'm coming in. Dude, the. I'm trying to. Okay. I'm good. Dude, my guardsmen just all got owned. I'm getting farmed. Okay. Shit. Oh, so he can't heal himself. Okay. Okay. I got some higher tier units. Under attack. Okay. I'm trying to make them now. Oh, this thing. Dude, my guys got my things. All right. I'm coming on your base. Okay. Vulcan's baby. Jesus. Destroyed. Okay. We got. All right. Fight them off. Okay. Jesus. My hero died. Yes. I don't mind. Really? Yeah. So top right. I think is a cool down for him to respond. Oh, okay. Oh, man. It's a good point. Flying scout anti-air is suicidal. Okay. You know what I needed to do? Okay. Build a shroud stone. Okay. I'm going to build that. Okay. So convoy. We missed the convoy, but. What's the worst that can happen? Is that bad? We'll see. Probably. Yeah. Yeah. We'll see. I feel like that's probably going to happen. Okay. I'm not sure how to make the room that I have larger. All right. Under attack. All that research. Yeah. Hey, I'm building these. I'm going to build these different sentry posts. Okay. All the points around the base. So now they're going to turn into the guys on their own. I'm clearing out the extension area in case. Oh, my gosh. Wait, what the hell? Oh, no. It's an airstrike. This is what the convoy does. What? What? I'm getting destroyed. Okay. All right. Allies are under attack. I've got three guys coming in. Oh, these are all enemies too. I thought this was a space. We got this. Okay. All right. I got my three guys. I'm going in. There it is. There it is. Huge damage. That's good. There it is. There it is. Oh, they're going to have to stay on the base. Okay. Our forces are under attack. We'll not want those. I think I just killed someone's crusader. I killed your crusader. I clicked them and I was like, wait a second. You clicked them. That's right. You can manually attack allied units. What? Yeah. So an attack move is kind of like one of the games you can do, which is like clicking A and then clicking the ground. I think my guys are stunned by that. But if you click A and you click a unit, it'll attack it even more. I'm dead. I'm dead. My units all got stuck up here. I don't know if they're like some kind of like stasis or something or a blue thing on them. Listen, this is part of the gameplay, because we learn to adapt. That's right. That's right. We do what we need to do. No, uh-huh. Under attack. What's the cinch? Maybe it's just a, maybe they bugged out. I don't know. What's the cinch? Oh, you guys are getting attacked a lot. No, we're like dead. It's over. Like, wait, wait. I'm on the lower. Under attack. Areas. I got these boys. We got like five dudes with me. I clicked it, but apparently I didn't. I got it. I got it. I'm going to save you guys. I'm going to save you guys. Okay. Can I look around and see him? No, I think I had to stop on my guys, but it didn't, it didn't unstop whenever I moved. Okay. Um, okay. So, okay, let's make more guys. Wait, I can call down medics. Oh, they're getting smaller. No, guys, I think we still got this. I think we still have a chance. We got it. No, we're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. Okay. Okay. Come on. You kill that guy? Under attack. This is where multiplayer refuses to leave the game. Uh-huh. No, no. We're good. Allies are under attack. Hey, the comp. Hey, the convo is about to make it. Oh, I'm sure. Yeah, we should go get the convo. Yeah, we should go get the convoy. Yeah, I'll just give me a minute to build up my board. Yeah. Okay. All right. All right. All right. Build them more guys. Um, okay. Okay. Okay. Oh, geez. Oh, geez. Oh, another convoy made it great. Oh, here comes the barrage. Bro, the AI's bunker right here. That's the barrage. Bro, the AI's bunker rushing me. What? It's all right. I'm getting bunker rushed in it. This is just normal. I'm getting under attack. Oh, my God. Okay. All right. I'm going to play the one with the hero this time. We need three of those guys. I mean, I think surely if we do have all three of those, then I think we're going to, it'll be easy. I mean, we'll just roll it. Yeah, yeah, for sure. 100%. All right. I'm ready to lobby. Okay. All right. Let me rejoin. It's only fuel my need to destroy the AI. Let me get you the ID. It's okay. We can just, just make a public lobby and we'll just join. Oh, that's what I thought I did, but. Oh, really? Okay. But apparently I'm not smart enough to make a public lobby. Okay. Let's go. Yeah, bro. We got wrecked. Oh, my God. I mean, to be fair, we're all learning. Uh-huh. Is that the way? Okay. All right. I want to make sure I use the copy over. Give me a second. I had to report a bug after that game. I noticed that I lost and I wasn't true. True. I think something is wrong. Yeah. I also sent in the bug. Okay. So now I'm going to play blockade and I think we should do begin. Let's try and do beginner. Let's see if that's any better. Yeah. Let's be honest. 1 out of 64. Yeah. I don't know. I think that could just be a limitation because like, what's the, uh, the largest, like, is it usually like what 3D 3 is that the most it can be? Cause it looks like there's like six slots here. Oh, I'm sure they'll, I mean, I guess I don't know officially, but I'm sure there'll be a lot. Yeah. Yeah. I know that for co-op versus AI game mode, I believe it's focused for three player versus AI. Okay. So I'm going to go with the flagship social playlist. If I understand right. All right. I'm ready. As fam waiting on you. Yeah. I'm ready. So Frost Giant is, is, uh, Frost Giant is asking, or I guess, I guess saying they, they heard that people think that the camera should be zoomed out a little bit more. Like what chat, what do you guys think? Like what, like what's the, what's the general consensus on this? I think it should be zoomed out a little bit more. Yeah. But they're listening to people and they want to hear feedback. Yeah. What do you guys think? Yes. Yeah. Maybe a little bit more. Yeah. I feel like it should be like twice as much maybe even. So this is my guy. Oh shit. This is my hero unit right here. They can do revitalize. You can feel people. Heroic leap. Hammer time redemption. Oh wow. Placing structure. Okay. All right. So make sure I make more of these. Okay. I'm here to listen. Oh, I'm going to stop. Okay. I'm going to try and fast expand this stuff. I'm not getting banned. So if I have multiples. Same, same, same, same. So they can do the same thing. Like, so if you have multiple builders, they build faster. Yeah. If you hold alt and take a mini map of ping. So I'm pinging a spot where all three of us can expand. I'm going to try to attack there sooner rather than later. Okay. One base economy. Not the best. Okay. Make sure I have that. Oh, he's taking build bases now. Got my guards in production now. It starts already way better for me. So, yeah, I now I kind of understand the game more. And so I'm kind of getting it. I mean, I don't really know what the hell I'm doing, but I kind of get an idea. But we have, we have a more, more of an idea from not knowing more of an idea. Yeah. More than last time. Definitely more than last time. From negative 10 to like negative eight knowledge is good. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. A neck bay. Oh, shit. I'll say bad ass. That's under attack. Yeah, I'm clearing some of these creeps early. Oh, okay. Okay. I'm going to move my guys up here. Okay. And I can make guards. Allies are under attack. Combat medic and crusader. I can make a dog too. Sick. Yeah. Allies are under attack. That's the scout unit essentially for this race. Yeah. But you can upgrade it too. So it like slows in the units down. There's other stuff you can do with it. Okay. Allies are under attack. I'll build one of those too. So I'm working on kind of building up our defenses this time. I'm going to build a bunch of these sentry posts. And you take a guardsman if you guys want to build any. And I think you put one guardsman inside of a sentry post and he like mans the turret. Uh-huh. So it's just, it's kind of cool. Well, the ability is actually changed based on which unit you put in. Oh, really? I'll turn into a cannon. But if you put like a mob worker, it'll turn into a, like I think it repairs mech units. Oh, sick. Yeah, so it's. It's like a repair shop that they can go to now. That's actually bad ass. Oh, shit. So we're actually, we're thinking about making two different bases. Gunner here. Yeah. Yeah, let's do it. Oh, it's cool. It could go all the way. Yep. We're not slowing down for nothing. That's right. That's right. Okay. What's the stitch? I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I can make a hedgehog? Atlas. Oh, shit. Look at that. Oh, the Atlas. That's like the tank. I think you can do. Yeah. Yeah. Scouts, guardsmen, dig in ability. Okay. Like make a combat medic too. Dude, I was thinking composable too. Stick to you like glue. I immediately was like, yeah, composable. I'll stick to you like glue. Okay. Like three more houses. And actually send more workers over to. It's going up. I'm building more sentry posts on the, who's the top team? Is that you? Yeah. Yeah. That's me. Okay. I'm going to, I'm going to put a, I'm going to put some surgery posts around you too. Okay. Yeah. Go ahead. That's great. I've been keeping an eye on the mini map looks like no convoys have gone yet. Yeah. That's good. I imagine it's going to be soon, but maybe the beginner difficulty makes it so that's fast. Yeah. It's not just like in me like strength or something. Okay. Okay. So now see now I got all, all them working right now. I got two bases going on. Like we're popping the fuck off right now. Yeah. Well, they can't stop me. Okay. It's fortify. So these like actually the command centers have like their own thing that they can do. What's the sex? It's kind of a bad, the way that I'm building is kind of like a bad strat. Isn't it? I should put these on the side and then make them run full of them shouldn't I? Hmm. Okay. Yeah. With two bases now I've just like I'm making way more fucking money. Yeah. Oh yeah. This is nuts. I can make another crusader. I don't know if crusaders are that good. I kind of just want to build. Yeah. Go ahead. That's the unit that gets altered with this hero blockade. He's like a melee hero. And those are originally called Lancers, but they're both called crusaders. Oh, I see. Even better Lancer is essentially what a crusader is. Uh-huh. So it's like a, I think each hero will alter the faction like that. Yeah. I've noticed we haven't had any convoys or convoys only at the higher levels. Maybe he's just taking a minute to start. Yeah. I guess that it's just going to take longer. Allies are under attack. Oh, are we getting attacked? No, I'm attacking neutral units again. Okay. I was about to say. So if you run over here, because this one gives you a speed boost. Uh-huh. So if you run into it, your units will go faster. They run around like maniacs. Uh-huh. I'm going to start clearing these. So this is a resource camp. Once I kill it, it should give us all resources. Okay. Okay. How can I help? Allies are under attack. Oh, what the fuck is this? Oh, before we had a convoy object object object objective in the top left. Uh-huh. We don't have any more apparently. Oh, so we don't have no. Okay. Okay. So now I can make. Oh, bro. I can make ships. Allies are under attack. Oh, hell yeah. Okay. Nice. A sentry post. Are these bunkers? Yeah. Those are the things we were talking about. Okay. And you know what unit you put in it. Yeah. It's function. Oh, okay. But it would work as like a bunker or like a turret. Yeah. Allies are under attack. Okay. I've got one. I've got one ship here. Fuck yeah. I feel like I don't know if the ships are even that good. Like the aircraft? Yeah. I'm not sure. It's going up. I'm trying. I want to build tanks, man. Atlas. I'm going to build these. Oh, yeah. I'm going to build all of these. I'm going to make like 50 tanks, dude. I'm going to make a bunch of crusaders. The crusaders seem like they seem like they'd be pretty good. Yeah. They're super good. I think they're like the premier like tank unit in the game. Okay. For this active. Okay. I can do like range units and those mechs that shoot down against the Vulcans. We should have a good balanced force. Okay. I love it. All right. I want to see what these units even look like. Oh shit. Deploy BFG greatly increases the range of Atlas's attack. You're directed. How can I help? Oh shit. BFG big fricking gun. All right. We're going to make all we need to make 50 of these. It's going up. Yes. It's simple. Okay. Yeah. I'm going to go with the armor too. I like how it tells you like attack power, durability, speed on the units. Yeah. So like if you're like you know that you can learn it pretty quickly just by like looking at that instead of having to look up weird stuff. Oh shit. I need to build more houses. Alex are under attack. Battle. Let's see. Battle mech with powerful area attack effective against lightly armor units. Damage increases the longer the Vulcans in battle. We actually get attacked again. No. I'm just going around killing neutral. Okay. You know what? I'm going to try and do that too. Okay. What is the siege camp? Oh, that'll give you if you kill that chicken. That chicken dude. Don't underestimate it. There's a shit. Wait. There's a chicken. Yeah. You're in front of a chicken. So they're really powerful. And then if you kill under attack, we'll give you a neutral siege unit. That's like really strong. Buildings. It may automatically attack. Okay. I've destroyed one chicken so far. Oh, shit. I got my guys with you guys. Damn. These are really good. I'm going to, I'm going to explore bottom right of the map. Okay. Oh, shit. Because there's another, uh, there's more resources here. But oh, oh, I can't even control it. Okay. I think it, I think it's running out mid. Yeah. It just does whatever the fuck it wants. Okay. So our horses are under. Okay. More atlases. Good night. Oh, these are. Ooh. Yeah. That's fine. You see this in me beside us. Uh, yeah. Right here. And bottom right. Yeah. You got close enough and there's a play dragon. So like, we actually have to kill a dragon. Okay. Oh, I'm down about that. Should I go over there? I think we kill a base. Yeah. I think we've got enough. Okay. All right. Give me a minute. All right. Under attack. All right. I'm going to bring in actually give me a minute. One more set of my tanks and then I'll be ready to go. All right. Like, yo, fuck these like little mosquitoes and shit like over here. Like, bro, we're not going to use that. We're going to use a tank. All right. All my way. Yeah. My big thing is I'm real low on gas. Oh, here. Are we going in on this? No, the catapult is attacking automatically. Oh. Just kind of doesn't want it. Wait. So if I attack these. Oh, you have the upgrades here. Nice. Yeah. Wait. My guys getting killed by goats. Let the healing begin. Dude, go go to the other end. Under attack. Okay. Good. All right. We'll get this. I feel like I spent a bunch of time like adding defenses and we didn't really need them. I don't even had that many, but so I'm going to go with you guys. I think beginner makes it so you don't get attacked in the middle. So normal is a pretty big job. Yeah. Normal is huge. Okay. So this, I think it's just this huge ramp. Who wants to go first? I'll bring it in. Yeah. As soon as I get my guys, I'll be ready. Oh, he's the, uh, the other dudes. Oh. Back and up. Oh, shit. We're going to attack. Oh, we are. All right. How tough the flag dragon. Yeah, we got it. We got it. We got big damage. You guys got it. Yeah. Right here. Oh, that's extra shields. Easy. Okay. Okay. So we're all, we're all going on this. Oh. I'm committed. We're going to destroy. Our under attack. Okay. Our forces are under attack. Our forces are under attack. Allies are under attack. We're pulling the main one up. It's actually huge. Yeah. This is. Yeah. We're just kind of railing them now. I love beginner. The beginner is sick. We're so good. We're owning. All right. I'll go over to you guys. Okay. That's one based out. Should we just go straight to the other one? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I feel like we're at the point where we can probably just steam roll now. I think so. So did we, did we hear? Allies under attack. Did we hear from them like, how long they expect the game to be? Like, but what is our attack? Our under attack. Yeah. Our forces are under attack. That's a good question, but I don't remember. I'm thinking like 15 to 20 minutes probably. Okay. Allies are under attack. Allies are under attack. I may be wrong there. Whenever these things go into like their, their tank mode is insane. Oh my God. Hey, something to keep in mind is apparently. Yeah. The blockade can't, can't heal himself. I don't know if I said that earlier or not, but. Okay. I'm going to run over and try. You're just kind of stuck. Yeah. Our forces are under attack. Yeah, I'm bringing them in. Oh shit. He's got the tanks too. All right. We'll bring in my tanks. I'll just take them out right here. Oh, this is like a big shablammy. Yep. Ooh. They won't get past. He didn't destroy. Damn. Allies are under attack. Yeah, bro. As soon as we got those tanks out, like that was good. Yeah, that was GG. Yeah, I think, you know what's real nice is, I think. Allies are under attack. Got him. I like the feeling of swapping between like having like a group of units and a hero. Because it almost gets like, when you play the hero, it's like you're controlling like a unit in League of Legends or something. You know? I wonder why it feels that way. Yeah, I know, right? Yeah. But like, it's like Dota League of Legends stuff, but I just, because I played a lot of Starcraft 1 and Warcraft 2, and I didn't play a lot of Dota before I started playing League. So like, for me, like, I had a big gap in there where I played WoW, you know? And so, so as somebody who like played a lot of old RTS and then didn't play a lot of Warcraft 3, or even like, I don't know, Age of Empires stuff like that, I didn't play any of that. Yeah. It's, that's kind of like how my brain immediately like, links it up, I guess. It's the same thing, kind of? Yeah. When we go ahead and join Fen, your new game. This should work. Okay. I think this time we should go up against normal. We should do all normal, but we all play blockade. Because I think that we can do it if we are, if we're like, cause I kind of sandbagged us, you know, like with that other one, like those units that I had, like they didn't do shit. Like they got destroyed. Oh yeah. I'm super down for that. All normal blockade. Yeah. I think we can handle it. Cause this changes this mission like quite a bit. So, okay. As we're getting any screen tearing at all, you know, Not that I noticed. Did you guys notice anything? I had a, I'm trying to turn V sync on. So it doesn't do that. Come at the idle. I think that like really for me, it would be nice if like the screen that like shows where like the units are and everything, it would be nice if that was like smaller and more compact. Like it in a, in a way like it feels like, I'm thinking of a way to put it. It feels like it was made for like a 19 inch monitor, but like I have a 27 inch monitor, right? So the scaled up is too much. If you go to gameplay interface, a console scale is the setting. Oh really? Yeah. Okay. Well it's like, we have like wow brain, where brains like rotted from wow, and it's called something else in wow. So like, it's just like UI scale and wow or something. Oh it, it automatically started the match without us being in my bed. Oh wait, what really? Okay. Yeah, I just left. Sorry. I don't even know. I think it was probably on a timer. All right. I'll exit. Okay. I'm not creating private lobbies by the way. So they should pop up eventually in that feed. Okay. Try and try and give me the new one. New one. Okay. Ready? We should be good. All right. Okay. Esfand, you're ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. Are we ready? Is it time? All right. It's time. All right gentlemen. Let's do it. Well I love how like the beginning of every match is just this guy talking about it. Dude, I literally was about to say. Who's he talking to? What the fuck? Dude, I feel like, dude, I feel like this is like, we're like chat listening to streamer. Yeah. I'll just get talking about it. Yeah. This guy's so upset. He's so mad. Chill out, man. What's wrong with this guy? I feel like maybe the best play is to just like, do the early expand as soon as we can. Yeah, that's what I'm trying to do. I think yeah, that's probably the best idea I think. Especially now because we have like our own like, offensive units. Once I get like two or three guardsmen, I'll probably head over there and start trying to kill the creeps. Yeah. I've always got one barracks now. Tell me something. Nice. Can you build walls or anything like that in the game? I don't think you can, right? No, but I think... Like, Age of Empires walls? Yeah. Yeah. There's like a implied, you would use your supply depots as walls if you wanted a wall next to it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But no dedicated walls. Okay. As far as I know. That makes sense. Sorry to interrupt. Uh-huh. Oh. I'm still in my Starcraft 2. Yeah. Yeah. I think maybe I should just only use infantry. And I just use like a crazy, huge amount of infantry. It's like a... Oh, they're already attacking. Oh, my gosh. Okay, I'm on my way. I'm on my way. Oh, sorry. That's okay. We got him. Fuck him. It's the easiest game of my life. Man, we own... Okay. At your disposal. All right, I'm going to start trying to clear... You're going to move up there? Okay. Good idea. Yeah, I'll do the same thing. Oh, there's actually more stuff up here. Allies are under attack. It's okay, though. Ready to work. Heroes. Flooding cord. Yeah. There it is. There it is. Allies are under attack. Yeah, this is from the same people that made Starcraft and Warcraft. Yeah. Allies are under attack. Okay, so we have a convoy now. We have to get ready. Allies are under attack. Okay. I'm getting over there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we should probably hit them soon before they outpace us. Uh-huh. I'm coming to you. Yeah, we got to. We have to. Oh, we're just going to fuck them up. Yeah. Allies are under attack. Oh, there it is. There it is. The double stun. Yep. Oh, spinning. Allies are under attack. Damn. Oh, my God. He's getting destroyed. Okay. That's a lot better. That's nice. Nice. Oh, we shit. Yeah, that's what I'm trying to do too. I'm just glad we destroyed that one convoy. Like, this is already going so much better than the last time. Like, that was just him. Honestly, I was embarrassed. Yeah, I was just like, hey, guys, like, this is just, this isn't me. I swear, guys. Yeah. Yeah, I'm, uh, I'm just working on the base right now and trying to build up defenses. If you guys want to go more, more offensive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll defend the expansions. It looks like there's two groups attacking. One's headed down to the bottom right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's already a year, so I'm going to defend expansions. Allies are under attack. Okay. Oh, I'm spinning. Oh, bro. They just got spend on. All right. All right. That was easy. Yeah. These hero units are nuts. Nice. Nice. Oh, yeah. I got everything going. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're right. Actually, I didn't think of that. So, so here's what I'm doing chat. I'm going through and I want to add. I want to basically set up like a little, like tunnel that it runs the enemies through if they want to engage on this. Now, here's what I'm concerned about is they can just hit these guys one-on-one, maybe. I feel like that starts so much better now. Okay. Oh, I can't, I can't upgrade my thing because I'm making other guys. Oh, shit. They're trying to pull that bullshit again on us. I'm on my way. I'm about to fuck their shit up. I wonder if I can put block. I don't think I'm going to put a hero in here. Let me see what happens if I put a hero in there. Nice. Isn't it India? Yeah. But we got special access to show off the, to show off the co-op. The enemies do a whole career. Allies are under attack. Oh, there it is. Double trouble. I'm spending, one last, spending, one last, spending. Allies are under attack. Oh, they're just getting destroyed. So let's see what we have. One. Yeah, yeah. That was just, I was embarrassing. Okay. There it is. Nice. It's like as soon as we stop those convoys, like we're actually just completely controlling it. What? Sentry post. I'm going to start building like just all, all fucking, like, I've got, I'm going to have like 10 barracks. Hey, can you put some guardsman or something in those, in those sentries that I'm putting on the south side? Yeah, I'm trying to. I don't know if I can load into your buildings actually. No, I can't. You can't. Do you think it would be good for them to add it or add that or not? That's a good question. I'll stick to it. If you can like fill somebody else's. I'll stick to it. Yeah. I think it should be an option. I guess it's something that's probably better for like an option. I would say. Like, I don't really know that. Maybe, maybe it's like, if I crafted it, I can, I can make it like public or something. Like, somebody else can put something in here. Uh-huh. Yeah. Under attack. Who's getting attacked? What's the cinch? Oh. I can. I'm on. Under attack. Oh, nice. That's true. That's right. I'll stick to it. Under attack. Oh, nice. That's true. That's right. At least. Oh, bro. It's hard to make. Oh, damn. Oh, there we go. Jesus. Oh, nice. The centrals are owning. Hell yeah. Yeah. You didn't even have to do it. Hell yeah. Okay. Let's go. Like, we just, all we do is we just build all centrals. Yeah. I didn't realize you were building like a maze. Go all in on centrals. Yeah. Okay. Hell yeah. We're going to become full tower rushers. Uh-huh. We're going to be full tower. We're going to kill their bases with our base. I'll build some medics too. Oh, yeah. Dude, this is going to be nuts. Is there like the idle worker button? Oh, yeah. There is. Okay. I have four idle workers. All right. That's kind of embarrassing. Okay. I might have, um, hold on. I might have made a mistake. What do you do? What do you do? Uh, something. Okay. You know what? We're just going to run with it. Okay. Okay. Another convoy. Yeah. Come on. I'm running over there. Vulcans this time now. Bit of a beefier army. Oh, all right. All right. About to end this dude's whole career right here. Okay. Oh, these are under attack. Nothing going to slow me down. Oh, there it is. There it is. Waiting for their instructions. Nice. Okay. Oh. Under attack. That's a good one. Spend a win. Spend a win. Jesus. Nice. That went really well. My units are getting promoted. I got a promotion system for your units. Congratulations, man. Oh, is that like in, uh, what was that? Is it Command and Conquer generals? Didn't that have that? Dude, a couple? Yeah, yeah. There's a couple games like that. It's cool, cool system. I wonder if the promoted units, if you load them into sentries, like, if it buffs their damage at all. I'm going to build eight barracks. I'm going to make so many of these fucking units. I'm just going to send all of them. Just like a massive fucking army. Waves on the mini map. Allies are under attack. Okay. Dude, you know what I like is, uh, I like just having a bunch of, uh, a bunch of these workers, a bunch of these bobs going, uh, craft together. Allies are under attack. Yeah. It's just fun. Oh, yeah. That speed up the buildings. Yeah. I just tested something. Oh, you got them. You got them. When you're in world one, you can leap. You can do the leaping ability wall world. Yeah. Allies are under attack. That's actually kind of sick. Okay. We're going to have more people attacking at the bottom. I think it will be fine with all of our sentries. Oh, there it is. There it is. I'm not doing anything. Down here, bro. We got a whole tower defense here. Yeah. This is great. Yeah. It's going to be sick. I just don't want them to hit us through the air, like in the middle because that's what I'm afraid of now. I'm going to make a few more things here. I'm trying to make all my guys, man. Okay. Is there a way? You know what? I think after this, now that I understand a little bit better, maybe I can play the Zerg and not be garbage. Because I feel like, I don't know, though. I don't know, though. Maybe I still want to be garbage. Yeah. Maybe I'm still garbage. Maybe I'm still garbage. Yeah. Maybe I'm still garbage. Oh, shit. We have two convoys. All right. I'm going to do the bottom convoy. Okay. I'm going up to the top one. There it is. There it is. Ooh. I'll stick to you. I'll stick to you. Oh, bro. I got destroyed. I'll stick to you. Oh my God. Tell me something. Jesus. Allies are under attack. Wow. Got a big ass fucking army. Holy shit. Move him over here. Nice. Got some fucking army coming up. We may want to kill... Dude, I don't know why. Why do people get so sad? Okay. Yeah, yeah. Give me like two minutes. I know, man. I'm going to have like all the boys ready. Like what do you want to say? Oh, yeah. I don't like... I literally have seven barriers. Nice. I have four mech labs. I'm just trying to like get a bunch of those Vulcans with the chain guns. Allies are under attack. It just starts to make sentry posts too. Oh my gosh. Dude. Dude, this is so sick. We start putting sentry posts like in those. Oh, yeah. We got people up top. Are you good? You're going to lose that one. Damn. There it is. Jesus Christ. Dude, I'm... It is sick. You know what I mean? That fucking whirlwind. That whirlwind is badass. Okay. Bro, I'm building up an army. Guns dropping. Oh my God. Guns dropping. That's a lot. I will say, I don't know how about how you guys feel. Yeah. High five. Wait, did we just... Wait, did they just allow me to zoom out more? I think I changed like one command and like now I can zoom out more. Wait, why? It's really? Yeah. Wait, did they update it like this? Okay, so this is what I changed. I changed gameplay and I went to console scale and I moved it down to 70% and I can zoom out more. Oh, this is way better. Wait, mine doesn't want me to zoom out more. Maybe it just feels like I zoomed out more because of the console scale being done. Yeah, maybe you're right. More. I'm going to take the top one. Yeah, I actually feel like I have a good... A good viewpoint. Under attack. I got this one early. All right, I'm taking this. I'm about to... I'm going to just take care of it. I'm going to just take care of it right here. Oh, there it is. Where is the idle worker button? Allies are under attack. Oh, my gosh, you have so many guardsmen. Oh, God. I'm running away. Hey, somebody's Volk. Is that yours? Okay, I'll just get them all. Allies are under attack. Oh, my God. What do I... How do I get the idle worker button? Where's the idle worker button? Where's the idle worker button? I'm blind. No, it's actually pretty small. It's right to the left of the mini map. I see it. In the top left. Jesus. At your disposal. So, on my gas, what I'm seeing is... On my theorem, I'm seeing five out of one workers. So, am I running out of theorem and I just have too many people there and it doesn't matter? I wonder what that means. Yeah, it has to do with the efficiency of mining. So, it does run out. If you have five out of five, it'll eventually sort of run out. But it slowly regenerates. What? I'm gonna find out a one. Yeah, so... Oh, yeah. You could put it back down to just one worker. And then that would be max efficiency since you're like over-saturated. Oh, okay, okay. But it will kind of slowly respond the resource. Okay, well, damn, now I got eight workers. Okay, I'm just gonna like, I guess, zoom, zoom, zoom, build stuff then. All right. Yeah, maybe we take that base. I'm about to have destroyed this fucking base, bro. Like, I'm tired of them being a... They can be in my base, bro. Like, that's it. That's just how it is. Yeah, the hell, man. Let's go. Get rid of them. I gotta leave them. You have like 500,000 guards. No, no, we're good, we're good, we're good. All right, I gotta help you some more. There it is, there it is. I'll move in. Guys, offensive units are old metam, okay? We just need a bunch of workers. You know what's funny? You're probably right. Under attack. You're probably right. Just making up random stuff. Oh my God. You guys are playing Last Patch? Yeah. Okay, now we got some momentum. Yeah, now we're actually winning. Imagine that. Oh, we got more... Under attack. Maybe we try triple infernal. I'm going to turn around and I'm going to do the convoy. I'll take care of it. I'll take care of it. Well, there's one on the top. I'm going to run to the top. Okay, yeah, go for it. Allies are under attack. I hope they don't have air units because I'm just mass ingrat. I have no anti air. I do. Yeah, a lot. Allies are under attack. Oh, I didn't mean to. There's actually one at. Oh my God. Allies are under attack. Oh, I forgot I didn't know. Oh, is there only one structure menu right now? Allies are under attack. It's sort of the pen. Oh, no, there's... Remember in Starcraft, there was normal and then advanced structures? Yeah, I think there is only one right now. Allies are under attack. Okay. They'll probably end up being two because I think there's still another tier. I don't think that we lost a single guy. Allies are under attack. Dude, I kind of like the idea of there only being one. I don't know. I don't know. It might not be like complicated enough for people that way, though. They're combining all the buildings. Allies are under attack. That opens. So maybe it will just be one. Yeah, I guess I don't know. You might want to hide. So we were getting like overrun hard in that first time we played. Oh my God. This guy's like, actually dude, this one dude is like just killing all my guys. Uh-oh. Allies are under attack. I didn't even know this could happen. I don't know how the fuck he got in here. Jesus. Our horses are under attack. Okay, he's dead now. Bro, he took out like 10 of my dudes. Maybe I'm playing the wrong guys. What even was that? A volcano. Oh. Well, but he can only attack ground. Yeah, see, that's when I'm massing and that's the only way. This is such a massive fucking wonder. Maybe I should build turrets around here. Oh, maybe I should actually build units to farm again. Considering all my guys are just dead. Oh, you lost all your guardsman? Yeah. Yeah, I think they get hard countered by those Vulcans. Yes, right back. I killed a base though. Well. Okay, so a convoy. You all gonna do the top one. We got that system down. I'm starting to mass air units too, so hopefully that pays off. Yeah, I'm starting to air units too. Allies are under attack. I mean, I think our base is looking okay. Just like the... I think that events is gonna be okay. Allies are under attack. Uh-oh. Vulcans are a little slow too. Allies are under attack. Yeah, I'm making Hornets. Yeah, Hornets are good. They're weak health-wise, but they can attack ground and air, so they're like... Three guys won't. I think they're really good. Yeah, I feel like... Yeah, I'm just trying to think like maybe it is better to build the Vulcans, but these guys can also destroy anti-air, and we can also kill the Vulcans really fast if we can just focus fire them. It's just that we're not doing that. Oh, no way. I think I found a... The first bug I've seen, which is really funny one, I'm stuck whirlwind. I actually love this. Wait, I think I see it. That's gonna blow up. I'm gonna use this to my advantage. Yeah. I've hit overtime, but... Dude, the hold balance. So if you go over here, this is like... I guess this is what they were talking about, where you can actually destroy... You can destroy like trees and shit to like... Do like a separate attack, like some kind of like special attack, like sneak attack or something like that. I guess that's how this guy got in through here. I think they're gonna attack our expansion area. Oops, sorry, I was thinking. Yeah, sorry, I'm away. If you can defend, I'm gonna destroy this. Yeah, I'm on my way. I think we're getting to the point where we have more resources than we have the ability to even spend. Oh, yeah, dude, I'm like... Yeah, me too. It's kind of bad. I need to start spending. Oh, my area. Dude, I do it a lot. Like, I tunnel vision super hard on like... Just... And I can't like outrun my... Like, I can't out-produce like how much... How many resources I'm getting. It's kind of bad. Yeah, I have like... All right. Just ignore all those things. Okay, I'm gonna send in my units. You want me to go? Okay. Yeah, you do. Being super low. Yeah, let me go find... Do you want the max supply? Like the amount of people you can have is? Yes, 300. 300, okay. And Starcraft, I think it's 200. Yeah, it's like 250 or something. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, we do the convoy, then we pop off. Yep. I think that's still whirlwind. I love it. I want this to actually be permanent. Oh, wow. I have so many Vulcans. Allies are under attack. Mm, control two. I got you. Ooh. Allies are under attack. Okay, I'm coming up with you guys. Who's purple? Allies are under attack. I think I've lost a lot of my medics. I feel like I don't have as many medics now. Is there a button that we can... Well, I don't even know who's dying now. Yeah. Is there a button that we can press to like go to our unit? Sure. I thought you could click Portrait. I don't think there's an automatic button, but control groups is what I would recommend to do. So you box the units you want in a group and then hold down control. I have that right now. Yeah, but I'm like, if I'm clicking on them and then I want to like go to them, you know what I mean? Oh, double click the number. Double click the number? Oh, yeah, okay, sick. Yeah, I use that constant. That's like most of what I'm doing right now. Okay. So like I put my base on a hotkey. I put my army. Oh, that's sick, actually. It's really fun when you... Allies are under attack. It's kind of like if you overheat at the beginning, but after a little bit, it's like boom. Yeah, no, I totally get that. That's sick, actually. That's perfect. Allies are under attack. I'm bringing my whirlwind fury over to Aspen. Yeah, I might need a little bit of help. Yeah. Let's get those guardsmen that are just going to town. Yeah. Under attack. Unable to build where? Guns dropping. Pulse inhibitor. Guns dropping. Ooh, this is cool. You're directed. All right, they're just killing everything back here. Guns under attack. All of your life decisions. Ooh. I make so much gold. Okay, nice. Allies are under attack. Nice. Oh my God. Who are those dudes? Yeah, I end up collecting a lot of these puppies. Holy shit. I'm just going in. Yeah, I'm sending them. I feel like you could probably sell them. Dude, oh my gosh, man. Jesus. The Hornets get immediately destroyed. Under attack. Yeah, yeah, they suck. No, the Hornets die in stuff. Yeah, they're super cool. It's funny because in the alpha they were looking at you and they had missiles that they shot in the ground with. I just masked them to get all of them. I won, like, 30 games in a row. Uh-huh. That's a Hornet. It is. Yeah. That went a lot better. Nice. Under attack. There it is. Nice. Our forces are under attack. Easy. You see how I did on that game. Oh, I forgot to look at the stats screen. Yeah, Finn. You popped off. Killed like 400 people. Good. Murder. Yeah. Jesus. Yeah, that one went way better. So I think we should try. I think we should try normal with, like, the infernals. Yeah, I like that idea. Yeah, you like that. All right. Let's do it. Yeah, yeah. All three of us play infernals. Yeah. Okay, I'm down. It's going to be way harder. Yeah. Because I want to try that. Like, I feel like that's what's really interesting. Yeah, I actually wanted to win, like, against the hard one. I think that straight up what we should do is just build like literally bunker rush and just like build bunkers across the entire game. The bunkers were really good. I think that might actually be the, that might actually be the play. Yeah. Especially because are you talking about the Vanguard where you can build them super fast? Yeah, just build more and more bunkers. That's it. It's that easy. Also, I noticed that there was like a really extensive mini map ping system that you can use. I may try and figure that out. But like normally it's just like exclamation point. I think there's a lot of different stuff you could do with that, which is kind of cool. Yeah. If you're playing with randoms, at least I imagine. Uh, okay, dope. We win this. All right, starting her up. Start her up. Let's fucking do it. Okay. Okay. Oh, do the imp spawn insta? Yeah. Yeah. That's the, that's the special thing that this unit, like this army has. Oh, but you know what? You have to wait for, so it's like, it's like a flipped, a build time. Yeah. Yeah. Like you can queue it up. So like you can summon an army super fast, but you know, like that costs something else. Yeah. Calls and iron vaults. I don't know what the hell that is. So should I, should I not go as ham on the defense at this time? I feel like in hindsight, I feel like I didn't need to do that. I mean, like we're playing a different race here. So like, I don't think it's really going to make a difference. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, I think you just do, do whatever you think is the best option. Right. Okay. Oh yeah. And the imps, they, they delete themselves to craft the thing. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And you can't have additional workers, build things faster that way. They're okay. No, you can only do that with like the, the vanguard. I think. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So what even do I need to do here? Train brutes. I don't really want to use brutes. I just make one. What do I want to do? I'm going to start. So those, those like obelisk towers spread shroud. That stuff that gives you the audition. Uh huh. So I'm probably going to try and spread that across the map. So we just have it. Yeah. Maybe that's the right option. It's been pride, but I don't know what would be the best unit. Uh huh. Yeah. I'm not sure either. Maybe a gaunt. Oh, here come the first waves. I'm going to, I think top left. I'm going to defend. I have three units. Oh dude. We don't, oh my gosh. Yeah. We don't have a hero. Yeah. I've got some. I think I'll probably have enough. Okay. I'm going to come help you. That's nice. It goes for the white health first. So these guys are pretty strong. Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah. They have a shield. Okay. Ah, it does. Meat farm. Alrighty. Meat farm. Meat farm. I was my nickname in college. Don't even think about this. Old meat farm. Old meat farms coming over. Okay. I don't know what these fell. Oh, the fell hogs. Okay. So you can. So some of the like tier two units in this faction. You can actually eat them for quicker shields. What? It's like a consumability. Yeah. I don't even know what the fuck. What is that? Oh shit. We already have one. Oh, bro. There's no way. Oh, a convoy. Yes. Oh man. It's so fast. Dude. Now I can help. Are you already have a nice army? Yeah. I mean. I'm going to go straight for the convoy. Okay. I'll send my like Zerwings or whatever in. Try and tack with it. Oh, that's actually a good idea. Where is it at? Yeah. Collaborator under attack. Jesus. Oh, I'm going to break a couple of mine for that too. Maybe they'll still get it. Oh yeah. Oh, just barely. Holy shit. I lost all my guys though. Some time. Fuck man. I've got one little guy. He's not even going to make it back before he dies. Okay. That was weird. Oh dude, I'm getting. Oh my gosh. Hey, this is really bad. This is bad. Yeah. We're in bad shape. My other group. Yeah. My guys are out of position. Dude. Dude, we're aft. Okay. We're aft. I got reinforcements going. Oh boy. So fell hog. Attack. Base up like now. Yeah. I'm not going to. Yeah. I'm. I think that I'm fucked. I think I'm fucked. Stabilize. Shroudstone. Shroudstone. Oh, they just destroyed my little. Shroud will save us. Shroud. It's something. Shroud. Yeah. Good guys. He just sits in the tower. Yeah. I'm barely hanging on, man. We win this all day every day. Oh, I forgot these little, what do you call them? Peans. They'll die off. Okay. I'm going to stop the convoy. You guys just build your condos up. Yeah. I'm trying. And what economy? What are you talking about? The hell? Do you have to mine resources with this race? Oh, there's a lot of stuff. I'm going to live. Yeah. This is. Okay. Really bad. Yeah. Uh. We're playing normal. Yeah. Yeah. It's hard. It's not tuned to races about. Yeah. But. I think we can do it. I just believe. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. Oh, God. We have to do a survive this bombardment. That's better. Yeah. I'm sure what could go wrong. Collaborate or under attack. Collaborate or under attack. Looks like it's about to end. I'll. Oh, for it. Oh, no. Oh, God. Oh, this is looking bad. Oh. Collaborate or under attack. Okay. Okay. We survived. Debatably. Collaborate or under attack. Research flame on. Shit. Bro, he's got that. Like these little vehicles and shit run around. Hedgehogs. Okay. Pull him back. Okay. Okay. They're attacking. I'm sending a bunch of brutes at him. Oh, nice. Okay. We're winning. We're winning. Are we? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Good. Good. Good. Good. Okay. With other convoy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's. Anybody want to go kill that? No. I'm just going to avoid that and blame somebody else. So I noticed whenever I do the double tap. Stun Daryff. I feel like my. I keep hitting something that's causing my. It's causing my units to. Like my presets to break. I don't know what it is. Okay. I wonder if there's something we can do to. Heal the iron ball. Yeah. Just go all here. That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to try and get this second. The second place here. The second. Mine. Huge army. Yeah. You got a lot of. Wow. What the fuck. I'm working on it. I'll try again. I had one of them, but it got destroyed. Okay. Oh. Oh. We're going to attack. We take it. We take it. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, look at all these. Oh, I'm going to attack. I'm going to attack. Jesus. Oh, dude. I might just gotten real. And. That sucks. Yeah. I was trying to mass, but I'm too late. Like mutilisks. Yeah. I think so. Battle. Oh, isn't that okay? Not too bad. Um, yeah. We're, we're in some trouble. Yeah. This is it. I think we're dead. Yeah. We're like 100% dead. Follow this one up on. Um. We'll even try the other one. What are you doing? Well, I mean, we're holding on. Actually, I just got enough guys to kill him. I mean, to be fair, I think I'm just not spawning on units fast enough. Yeah. Maybe. I feel like just. If we get more units out, maybe. I don't know. I'm going to crack it. Are these bad guys? All right. I'm going to attack. What the hell are these hedgehogs? Oh, they can do anti air. I'm getting attacked. I'm coming. I'm coming from the back. Well, I think you got him, but I'm going to, I'm going to get around anyway. You. Oh, God. Oh, shit. That's bad. Well, the good thing is, at least we can move units out. Oh my. Oh my gosh. Oh. Oh my God. That's a rat, boys. Yeah. Dude. Oh my God. Fuck man. That's hard. Funny dude. Forces are in battle. Yeah. I think if we play that unit again, we've got to play with, um, uh, uh, we got to play with fucking like, I don't like beginner mode or something like that. So, so what I'm feeling like right now is like the, like you said, Finn, they said that the, the game's not balanced around not having a hero. Obviously you're supposed to have the hero, right? Yeah. Cause we got rushed right away. But I mean like, yeah, I feel like beginner would probably be too easy cause we barely got attacked in the beginning. Uh huh. So maybe, Yeah, that's true. Either, either normal maybe should be brought down a hair. Well, maybe it just doesn't matter cause as soon as they add the hero in it just doesn't matter. Yeah. But, um, but I feel like beginner, if that's the case, then beginner is probably just a hair too easy. Mm hmm. And they could probably, they could probably buff it a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like the, the other like the Terran, the human race, Vanguard, it, uh, it seems like it's pretty, pretty well designed, et cetera. I'm going to take a break. And, uh, I think I've, I've, I've gone into mental overload with this game now. And, uh, I've, I've done too many matches and like now my brain is, is, is malfunctioning. Yeah. That's probably part of me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's it. Um, Yeah. I mean, I had a blast. Say what? I had a blast. I think that's great. Yeah. I mean, I, I feel like I did way better with the other, the Zerg, like the other one was not, not very good at all. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like, I mean, we also, we also need more experience. I feel like, I feel like that's a big part of it too. Cause they're, they're two very different play styles and maybe, maybe the, uh, uh, blockade, maybe Vanguard's a little bit more intuitive, at least it was for me. Yeah. I just couldn't get the hang of the other one. Um, but, uh, let's see. I think the game is on, I think it's like a Kickstarter, right? It is. Yeah. Oh yeah. Lunch today, I think. Okay. Yeah. There it is. So storm gate. There it is. Um, yeah. Thank you guys for the games too. By the way, I appreciate it. Yeah, it was good. Yeah, it was fun. Yeah, I had fun. And, uh, I'm going to go ahead and probably just do some, uh, maybe season of discovery. Um, you know, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I got to lay down. Oh, like, uh, yeah, I haven't played RTS in a long time. Yeah. I get that. Do you want to, do you want to do something together in a bit? Uh, probably yeah. Yeah. I'll be done. All right. Cool. I'll just let me know. All right. For sure. See you guys. See you later. All right boys. Peace. See you. That was good. Chad, I mean, obviously like, I'm, I'm not like a pro RTS player or anything. I love RTS games. I'm not some RTS pro. Uh, but I think that's, that's a big part of what these games are. And I think, I think a lot of times RTS games, they, um, uh, the, the idea that you have to be some kind of RTS God to, to play the game has started to like, we're not has started to, but I think it's driven people away over the years. And, uh, I think if the game is accessible, that's like the number one thing. I think the game should be accessible to have like people of all kinds of skill types, be able to play or skill levels, be able to play it. And I think that's, that's just the key. That's just point blank. Right. Um, which I think from, uh, from, from frost giants perspective, that's probably why they wanted me and asthma to play. Cause we are noobs. Right. So I'm like, yeah, like, let's show them that like, let's show them, but you know, it was fun. Uh, I, I had a lot of fun with this man. I mean, I, like I said before, I grew up loving Starcraft. I played more Starcraft than I played Warcraft even, even though a big wow guy, but, um, I think it's cool. I think it's, uh, I think it is, it is, uh, cool. And I think this game has a lot of promise and it was, it was still intuitive. It's, it's a different game, but it's still intuitive. Like there's enough similarities in terms of like how, yes, like, yeah, you're going to understand like, you know, while I was playing, like I was like, okay, well this is like a supply depot. This is a barracks. This is, you know what I mean? It's, it's all that. So this is a bunker. Uh, service load on me doesn't seem like strides are being taken to make it unique. Um, I think the game modes is, is, uh, really part of it. I think like having, having like a co-op where you don't like custom games, right. I think that's part of it, but maybe that is something they need to expand on. Maybe you're right. Maybe they need to, uh, um, um, um, um, more unique, I guess, like you said, is this the official Kickstarter for it? Um, uh, yeah, I mean, I mean, it should be, I believe so. I mean, look at this, the fricking pledges are nuts. Yeah. I mean, this is, this is God be it. So, uh, if you guys do want to do that, you guys, you guys have that option. So, I think these guys are going to be the ones who are going to be able to pull it off, man. Yeah. From Starcraft 2 or craft 3 developers. I think, I think if anybody's going to pull it off, it's these guys 100%. RTS is back, baby. RTS is back. So, uh, I hope you guys enjoyed Stormgate. I had a, I had a blast playing it. It was super, super fun. Like I was saying, um, new RTS from the guys who made Starcraft 2 or craft 3. There's a, there's a whole lot of experience at that studio. So, uh, I, I'm playing RTS games. I'm not very good. Okay. I'm not very good, but, but I still love them. And I think that's, that's, that probably goes for a lot of people, right? Um, I had an absolute blast. I had, I had a ton of fun. If you guys are, uh, if you guys enjoyed this video, if you guys enjoyed this stuff on this channel, make sure to subscribe.
