This looks freaking amazing

It sure does.
Sigh, so many games so little time...

Saw it while I was browsing games in the Steam store just looking for some new strategy games to play and this one caught my eye. Subsequently I put in a request for a trainer.

This gun is amazingly fun. It has a level system for your commander much like CoH does though. When you level up, you can select special skills to get.

I think the usual trainer options would be:

Unlimited Shardium(resource to make units)
Unlimited Energy
Unlimited Food(Unit cap)
Unlimited Skill Points
Unlimited Commander skills
Fast construction(both for units and buildings
Fast Research
God Mode(both units/turrets/buildings)

But really, if there's only God Mode, that would be fine. Just use a god mode unit and destroy eveything. lolz

If anyone is on the fence about this, I highly suggest getting this. I very rarely go for early access games, but this is definitely worth it. Wanting a good modern rts for a while and this fills the void with amazing visuals. The sound is lacking and needs work but other then that, amazing and worth 15 bucks on steam.

is it any good ? like what are some positive points and what are negative points ?

I played a skirmish map and I can say that the unit cap is very small compared to games like Supreme Commander or Command and Conquer. You start off with about 15 Food(units require 1-2 food each) and it increases with each Shardium mine until you reach 45 which is the current max. The dev is thinking about increasing it to 60 which means you can at max have between 30 heavy units to 60 basic units.

That said, it also has an element much like CoH with commander abilities. The first ability you have is healing which allows you to heal half a unit's health. As you level up, you get a single skillpoint to allot to another skill on a skill tree.

The devs also described the AI in the game, Easy AI has a 1 minute delay between your actions and their actions, Normal has a 30 second delay, and hard has no delay. Hard AI also cheats with the option to take out "loans" of shardium so they can do below 0 and they get to purchase power plants at 50% off the price.

The graphics are quite nice but unlike other RTS games, you can't zoom into your units or zoom out. The devs said they did that for a reason(although I can't seem to recall it).

Lastly, you can equip your units with different weapons if you have them researched in the Laboratory. There's rail guns, plasma cannon, rockets, laser, auto-cannon, and more. They all have different attributes such as one damaging higher on vehicles and lower on infantry, or another gun being able to damage all ground units but no air units.

It helps to strategize more when you can't spam units and each unit can have different weapons that are effective against different types. Of course, I ended up holed up in my base trying to protect myself from a constant onslaught of AI...but that's because I suck

Just spent all my points towards this trainer. This game was created by ONE GUY. The voice overs aren't top notch, but they certainly aren't bad. The gameplay is simplistic, which is refreshing after playing Starcraft and SupCom for so long. The graphics are just beautiful, and I LOVE some of the music tracks. I can't wait to see where this game goes!
