Great to see games like this being made. Has a Dawn of War 2/Company of Heroes feel to it, really makes me wish THQ hadn't gone under.

Looks like the guys over at Camel101 really want to make a great strategy game and from what I've played this game certainly has the potential to be one.

What areas do you think it is lacking in?

the pathfinding and general unit ai is somewhat lacking, they seem to have a mind of their own sometimes, and take stupid paths to get to the chosen waypoint. Its a good month for strategy games, still got Etherium and Grey goo to come out this month, hell thats more than we usualy get in a year for rts games.

Seems the points were raised pretty darn fast, i was a bit worried, i tired to put the request in for this game a few days before release, but it only got apporved yesterday afternoon, i guess more people were looking forward to it that i thought.

Pretty much what Ashar said, AI and Pathfinding seem to be a bit wonky at times.

I've had units stay crouched after reverting to standing position and vice versa. Also I've ordered units in to cover and part of the unit will go and part will go to the other side, not sure if they still receive the bonus or not.

But all in all it's been fun to play and really scratched that strategy itch.

I have noticed too about the weird pathfinding issues, which I would think is the easiest part of a game AI to get right.

I have been looking forward to Etherium as well, it seems to be a type of strategy game I have been wanting to play for years now.

Apparently they're planning on adding some sort of new game mode to increase replayability, so with that in mind I'm sure they're taking a look at addressing some of these issues as well.

Sorry in advance if I break any policies.

I'm unsure what to do because my windows 10 is screaming like hell saying it's a virus when I know it's a false positive. It just refuses to allow it continue running even when I turn off windows defender, added it to exclusions and etc. I have no other anti-virus installed. A bit weird, huh? Any fixes/tweaks for Windows 10?
