So i just saw this on Kickstarter...

What do you guys think?

[Sean_Seanston]

Dunno, never played TA, just heard about it even "back in the day".

More good RTS is always something we need in recent years...

Would have liked a billion times more to have Metal Fatigue II though

Oh, one can dream...

[Erix]

I'm seriously considering throwing some money at it. Only other Kickstarter I've done that with is Grim Dawn.

[Matticus88]

i'm considering the same erix lol.

Ever since i saw this posted in the generals 2 thread, i've been really interested in it.

STRETCH GOALS

Our stretch goals are there so that the entire community can benefit from bringing in more pledges. By bringing in your friends, participating in an add-on, or simply upping your pledge together, we can make a better game for everyone. These first set of goals are based on the questions and comments we have received from the community.


$1,100,000 - Naval units and Water Planets

We are happy to announce that our first stretch goal is a set of naval units and extended support for water planets. One of the most popular questions we receive is whether or not naval warfare is going to be supported. We like naval warfare and want to have it in the game, but it’s going to be quite a bit of additional work. We want to not only support naval units but to do a great job at it. Likewise we want great support for water in the engine and the ability to create amazing planets that are largely water. First class support for naval means you will be able to have a combination of water and land planets as well as ice asteroids. Huge water only planets to play out all kinds of naval only scenarios will also be supported. Asteroid tsunamis FTW! Some of the water units we can expect include subs, amphibious units, floating buildings and of course battleships!

$1,300,000 - Gas Giants and Enhanced Orbital units

Many of you are excited about the idea of more planet types and more gameplay to take specific advantage of those planets. This stretch goal is to add gas giant planets (similar to saturn or jupiter) to the game and an expanded set of orbital units with unique gameplay. Gas giants have no land in the real world but we may allow some buildable areas on “high mountains” on these planets. Imagine massive fusion reactors sucking helium-3 right out of the atmosphere and giant orbital defense lasers. A more expanded set of orbital recon units, space platforms and other types of orbital units based on your ideas will be added as well.

See our goal visualization below. Let's destroy those planets.

I just orgasmed slightly.

[slornie]

Aand, it reached its initial funding goal, with sixteen days still to run! If it keeps up maybe we'll see water and gas planets too

It might just be the animation and the way they presented the trailer, but it looks a little...primitive. Like, it will be exactly what Spore needed in the Civilisation stage, but not large enough to be an RTS in and of itself. That being said, I like the presentation of this game and really hope it works. It really does look fun and imaginative.

[Piglet]

Dude, that animation is just to make you HOT for the game.And I can say... I am HOT for that game, baby. So HOT that I will forgive your ignorance.

Don't think that the animation is everything that's going to be in the game, because then all you can do is just smash planets up. I bet you can aquire resources, build units, have a campaign, be able to inhabit those smashed up planets again with some spesjul tekno.

Uh-huh. Let's just leave it at, "I'll believe it when I see it". I did say I like the presentation and concept of the game, so let's see some actual gameplay footage when they make it and I'll reassess my observation from there.

[Berek-PG]

I've funded this project!

That's been a long time, Berek!

Good thing you did, a project like this needs EVERYONES FUNDING!

[Erix]

36 hours to go!

And I pledged some cash to this a couple of days ago.

[Piglet]

Finally, besides Rome 2, a new RTS to look out for.

[Matticus88]

I backed it

[Erix]

They got the last goal, and with 3 hours left too!

[RussianSushi]

Looks amazing. Looks to be my Other RTS alongside Wargame by Eugen Systems. Sort of wish I backed it .

Just one question; where is Chris Taylor? It has big mechs, epic scale and commanders. Why did these guys have to leave GPG and Kickstart their own project?  Just curious.
