Scale Megathread

I agree, this was particularly obvious through Destiny's (a newcomer to PA with extreme fame from the starcraft community) videos.

he, at many times confused both land and air techs. in both directions.

I have to throw in with decreasing the size of the units somewhat.

The scale of the units compared to the curvature of the average map is very jarring to me.

If the map could be flattened when zoomed in to a certain degree the scale might not be such an issue.

good to have ye aboard matey!

To input my 2 cents, it isn't really the scale I find the problem but the lack of strategic elements in the terrain. I would really like to see something like https://forums.uberent.com/attachments/803039d27609863bb30966f702c1-jpg.13820/ .

Besides smaller units your suggestion has it's own thread (were you actually posted already) https://forums.uberent.com/threads/different-heights-in-the-terrain.52807/

But I do agree, units should be smaller and there should be height differences in the terrain, I also think the distance between planets, moons and the sun should be larger.

I am just going to place this here. There were some pathing issues and targeting problems, but THIS is EXACTLY what I was hoping for. Thank you, Uber. This made me so much more excited about your game.



Also, fun note. I got that artillery to take out an air unit. It was unintentional, but I made it target the ledge right by the AA bot and it shot shells at about twice its range. One of these shells hit a flying scout. So much win.

This looks freaking awesome

Wait, we can walk into the metal trenches now? Intentionally?

Oooooo.

awesome. Imagine bigger areas like this, with bridges over it. and ramps. and chokepoints. and and and.!

yea. more of this volume please uber.

Imagine if all the units were smaller though.
you could have a small base right there right in that little niche, wouldn't that be even dope-r?

omg omg omg.
WHAT WHAT?!?!?!?

I want more of this!!!!


But see how that horizon is still flat?
Hoping we get some plateaus and platforms

it's that time on my silly watch again:

...that I'll write a book about.

yeah the sizes of units and buildings need to be reduced

and that picture of the metal planet.... well....

YES PLS MOAR Uber MOAR !!!!

That picture instilled in me the wish for movable covers over those trenches. So you can actually, well, entrench, you know. Tie control to a metal spot nearby or whatever for reasons.

Uber : THIS IS WHAT WILL MAKE THIS F****** GAME JUST AWESOME !!!!!!!!
Extend this to all biome concepts and no one will ever be able to drop a better RTS for decades !!!!!
PLEAAAAAAAAAAASE !!!!!!

if you saw the biome concepts that's what they planning basically

we can just hope they can do it and it will work.

so uhm. some new input?

Of all the ideas floated on this board, this may well be the worst.

@Quitch says you vs 267 people, please elaborate otherwise your post is quite weightless.
