I remember in TA, you could force attack a pixel away from your big bertha and it would just fire beyond its range. Don't suppose that's a feature of BAR? :D
Very cool replay! Would love to see you go for mass nukes, like 8 or 10 next time. A tactic I use sometimes, people usually make 1 anti nuke and then forget about nukes but If you build enough of them then they can get through and it's a lot of fun
generally speaking I like pretty much any cake that has as little frosting as it can get away with (this stays true even with good frosting not just that abomination coating storebought cakes) cheesecake meanwhile is literally nothing _but_ frosting and somehow manages to be among my favorites...possibly because it is actually a general category of [custard pie] with "cake" in it's name rather than a general category of [cake]
For rez the wreckage must have enough HP (the gray bar if you hover over it) for it to resurrected otherwise it just becomes debris and only be reclaimed. Fiends explode when they die so they dont leave a wreckage but a debris. If you self-D it dosent leave anything wreckage or otherwise, so if you have a juggernaut that is about to die its best to self-D so the other team cant reclaim or rez the unit
33:30 Ticks are vulnerable to Juno anti-mine/scout/radar/jammer missiles, it would take just 1 missile into your tick-spam factories to shut them down in the area and insta-kill them for like 30 seconds or so.
Yeah, this is why you don't want to spam just Ticks (although it seems like players often get away with it anyway because people forget the Juno exists) but I think it's probably better to spam a mix of units instead of a single type. Drongo had mostly Pawns with an occasional Crossbow in this one, but you could add in a couple of Ticks to that and get their speed and vision without leaving you too vulnerable to Junos. There are a lot of situations where I bet adding in a Mace or Centurion to the spam could make defending against it much more difficult, too. And if you're setting up 4 labs they don't all have to be T1 bot labs, you could mix in a vehicle lab to make Stouts or Shellshockers, or spam the cheaper T2 bots like Sprinters, Tumbleweeds, Ghosts, etc. to create as many different target profiles as possible that the defender has to deal with alongside the flood of basic infantry.
Juno is t1 and massively useful, only issue is it doesn't kill threatening units. It does kill support units used in every strategy and is a great assist when seiging or counter siege to remove radars and jammers
Love seeing folks move over to BAR from AOE4. I'm really enjoying this game over AOE4, glad to see content to stream! Thanks and keep them coming and I'll watch!
Zero-K is another TA successor that's also available for free on Steam, and Sanctuary is an upcoming nextgen successor that should come out later this year or next year.
I love emergent gameplay like that. It's a morton's fork too, either you remove the defense to stop the shelling and thus whatever it was defending goes down, or you don't and live with the constant shelling.
I just learned that this exists two weeks ago and my inner child couldn't be happier. There's a bit of a curve learning the proper mechanics, but thankfully a lot of the skills from BW and SC2 transfer over very well.
TA was the game that led me to strategy games 20years later ive only just started on this game so getting the hang of it then will try online. Great videos very helpful and entertaining
I think ticks are more annoying to deal with pawns, more of them and faster. However, Juno's stop ticks really well. So winter says, ticks first, and when the enemy starts using Juno's switch to pawns.
I wonder if one could simply place the ragnarok behind a mountain and order it to fire at the very edge of the peak, allowing some of the randomly-spread shots to miss high and fly across the whole map.
you can reclaim pretty much anything, even as little as a grave robber. so long as the explosion that killed the bot wasnt too big as to completely anihilate the bot. a thor lighting up grunts will kill 30 in a single shot, probably only 5 can be revived and 10 can be harvested, due to the highly destructive nature of high caliber guns
You're wrong on the cheesecake. It's one of those archetypal cases where less is most definitely more. An unspoilt, vanilla, ricotta cheesecake is to die for!
40:00 Oh why not ask cortex players for a t2 constructor since Cortex Calamity lol cannon is straight up better than Ragnarok? Metal cost - Ragnarok 63000 vs Calamity 61000 Energy cost - Ragnarok 752000 vs Calamity 718000 Health - Ragnarok 32000 vs Calamity 33500 DPS - Ragnarok 2625 vs Calamity 2660 Range - Ragnarok 5750 vs Calamity 6100
to respond to what you said around the 1 minute mark about the pink player position often going towards yours: i think it is fair, the middle point is between you AND your half has far fewer rocks getting in the way. so youre expecting them to take less than half the size and the part that has less build-able land % and that is not okay in my opinion.
Ticks are better to spam until they start Junoing. If they never do it, it's straight better than pawns. It's so easy to just switch to pawns if they "counter" (way more micro and brainpower to them).
why diden't they turn off the forward shield? I'd rather lose the protection on that once place (which wasn't even being directly targeted) then have my entire rear-line's eco...
Don’t play, but have you ever tried building your own keepers to extend the range? The cannon could cover the build and force fields typically protect themselves lol
How many shields does it take to stop ragnarok? Did somebody do maths about it? I once blocked it with 15 shields, but I had a crazy eco and didn’t care that much about resources
Commander corpses can be scavenged for 2k metal, which at t1 is like boosting your metal ahead by 3 minutes of idle mining. With the experimental nerf its still 2 min worth of rush.
Red Velvet cake is better. For your replays watch the game.. takes notes and make your talking points.. at some points your tripping on your tongue. Its distracting from an otherwise good video
you play very egoistik my friend .. overflow the 8k energie income to your team ... and give your team some mass .. if you got a income from 500 mass !!!!!!! that help more than your t3 gedöns !!!! just saying !!! or your t1 spam ! teamplay means not .. use 7 other player as a walll !!!!! teampllay means play together :-D sweethart
40:00 turn the keeper in front off.. and this hole cheatert echnik is done !!:D or build keeper in your base . also .. also you haf to build defence in your base .. why nobody do this . this buildorder gameplay is so boring . egoistig . so i can play again anno .. or cimcity 😀 if all would be play like this .. than this is just a better starcraft .. and starcraft is no rts .. starkraft was and is .. a buildorder game !!! the fastest guy win .. boringgggggggggg
exactly! .. everyone wants to be a robot these days.. just memorize the "perfect" or "meta" buildorder and win by being faster... at this point it would only be more effective to hack the game and fully automize it.. i dont know how we can stop this bs, it spreads out into every type of game.. be as fast as possible and win with aggression.. that leaves no space for fun.. makes every "game" feel like work...
I remember in TA, you could force attack a pixel away from your big bertha and it would just fire beyond its range. Don't suppose that's a feature of BAR? :D
still works :D
Oh yeah i remember, love it!
pre-internet, i think everyone who played TA worked this out and had a holyshsit moment
Also, bombers could bug out and do an endless bombing line.
Yeah that was awesome @@MarkkuS
When playing air, use the attack line command. It helps a ton, otherwise the planes get confused every time they lose sight.

Or 100🥴
As a former TA player, and having no idea about this game's unit names, I appreciate the TA games

In your next BAR video guide, would you discuss the best icecream cake ? Would be nice :)
40:53 you BEAMED an ACU right there, not an AFUS, sent that commander flying lmao
watching that Maurauder go to town in the backlines really was the highlight of the vid, too bad it didn't make the thumbnail...
I watched your Aoe4 stuff until my interest in it went away. Glad to see you in the RTS I'm currently playing!
The intimidating sound of gatgun, proceeds to make kitten noises...
your macro is god tier... i like the 2 T1 mex at 13 mins, thats my highlight :D
Scroll is fine, but you could zoom in a bit more so we can recognize the unites when using the phone
Cheesecake is delicious... but it's pie, not cake.
Pie > cake!
Ticks are better to spam until they start Junoing. If they never do it, it's straight better than pawns. It's so easy to just switch to pawns if they "counter" (way more micro and brainpower to them).
also ticks have muchwider view range, so in combo with the snipers they make way more sense.
The lol cannon. That is what i will forever call it
I never knew you had more than one channel 🤣
3:35 yeah)
39:08 xD
44:18 LMAO
Thx for the video!
cheesecake isn't a cake, it's a pie/cake hybrid.
speachless had me looking like a venis fly trap watching this vid thanks im check that out appreaciated
haha i just started playing yesterday and ive already played a game with Choice. Cool seeing a small but close community
Every cake is better than cheese cake, cheese cake isnt even cake
why diden't they turn off the forward shield? I'd rather lose the protection on that once place (which wasn't even being directly targeted) then have my entire rear-line's eco...
Hello. What its your computer spec? You have still ~60FPS even if its a lot of units fighting.
Don’t play, but have you ever tried building your own keepers to extend the range? The cannon could cover the build and force fields typically protect themselves lol
Damn I love these BAR content :)
If you want play very good, you need like cheesecake. Thanks Drongo, i got it
P.S. sorry for my English
can you use your own (or teams) shields to extend the range of the ragnarok?
Just started to notice but you should really look to leave a little bit of metal in your commander so you can revive it once your eco is a bit better
Where is the AoE content Drongo? My days are not complete without it
In total annihilation it was called the Vulcan
Try Caramel Bacon Cheescake. That might be heaven.
Cheesecake is superior. Subscribed
cheesecake is more of a pie than a cake.
I feel like ticks are way more savage to spam. Also harder for projectiles to hit.
Besides the juno which will massacre them
Good Stuff, subbed for bar. But feel free to post wathever you heart desires.
How many shields does it take to stop ragnarok? Did somebody do maths about it? I once blocked it with 15 shields, but I had a crazy eco and didn’t care that much about resources
He mentioned 7
@@ironyconfident woo that’s a lot. But it’s a lot cheaper to counter it than to fire this gun
I wonder why did they rename all the units that existed in OTA? Do you know?
if you dont like cheese cake your not human!!!
Definitely prefer ticks faster and more of them, crazy run pattern
10k hours, and playing with your dad? You lucky man. :)
if you held all those pawns till you had a big army you probably couldve pushed through
Couldn't you build some shields of your own to skid off of? Would be tricky but could probably finish off games nicely as well
I request an all T2 artillery game play. 😂
10k hours on TA? Amazing
Titans shouldn't really be used like Juggs. They don't have to be "better"
This looks alot like Total Annihilation. Is it a remake or something?
Yup, inspired by TA - but the devs wish to make the game different.
Sacher Tart is a way better as cheese cake. 😋
This looks like it could come out of supcom
Air seems a bit tough.
I had to come here just to get a dose of Drongos voice. sigh
It does I play bot matches and have like 6 of these :)
Drongo please! Forgetting the name of the big bertha!
I'm fairly sure the answer to the tick vs pawn question is the dirtbag.
Epic
chocolate
Why do people blow up there commanders??
Probably to get more metal instantly.
Commander corpses can be scavenged for 2k metal, which at t1 is like boosting your metal ahead by 3 minutes of idle mining.
With the experimental nerf its still 2 min worth of rush.
With the latest patch, the dropped metal is 1250m
Cheescake....
I do not like cheesecake
hey mate its pronounced "rascal" like the yanks do
Red Velvet cake is better. For your replays watch the game.. takes notes and make your talking points.. at some points your tripping on your tongue. Its distracting from an otherwise good video
All that eco just to spam zzz
Why suiciding the commanders ?
they can then salvage 2k metal from the commander corpse.
@@Maegnas99 It might not stay 2k, the current test change is 1250 metal instead... but it's still a lot of metal.
