Had a LAN together with 10 friends last weekend. We played BAR. What an absolute amazing game!! 1000s of units, AI and large scale battles - No lagging, No crashing… just ran smooth all the time, even on old crappy gfx cards with 4gb memory. Wow!
Highly recommend trying. We disabled tech level 2 and 3 the first rounds, then just 3 and finally ran everything. A nice way to start without being overwhelmed:)
If you loved Starcraft and RA2, try this game 🥰


I gave this a go today. Honestly, the game felt annoying and I didn’t last more than 2 skirmishes. The troops don’t defend themselves like in any other RTS (unless you give hold command), they just stand there with zero fucks to give while enemies kill them, so the game becomes a micromanaging hell. This also means that baiting tactic does not work, like in any other RTS. As soon as slightly larger battles begin, my troops constantly get stuck or hit wreckage. What’s also annoying is that whenever you get units under attack alert, the radar/map does not highlight where it’s happening
At this point, even 9-bit armies feel superior
EDIT: Tried out scenarios and second scenario got bugged. I explored the entire map and could not find a single enemy unit (destroyed them all), but the game didn’t end. The supposed task was to kill the commander, which I did.
