I just remembered an Age of Empires match where my cavalry got stuck behind one tiny tree and i nearly lost my mind. Why was pathfinding so terrible back then? You command soldiers to attack and suddenly they start trekking around the whole map. But somehow we still loved those games more than...

The most illegal-feeling move has to be hiding my artillery behind trees while baiting the enemy units. A friend did it to me in Company of Heroes. Everything looked normal until, half of my army disappeared. It was so painful. The annoying part is that it was fully allowed 😂 they see as...

It's been a while i've been replaying skirmish matches and i realised something, if i was a commander, I’d definitely be aggressive. Sitting back and defending forever just stresses me out. Once I was able to gather a small army, I would move immediately. The funny thing is that I usually regret...

I was replaying an old RTS and honestly fan-made patches deserve more respect. Some developers abandon games immediately after launch, then random community legends start fixing the bugs for free. One patch made for Generals Zero Hour literally made the game smoother on my current laptop than...

The Tower Defense custom maps were part of my games back in the day. The standard gameplay was cool but the tower defense maps had a different vibe entirely. Especially those ones where teamwork mattered more than fast clicking. I even preferred them because my micro control was terrible 😂.

The developers should release modding tools immediately. It's the community that keep many games alive after the hype dies down. I was literally talking about this today because some companies behave like fans are criminals for trying to improve their games. Meanwhile old RTS titles survived for...

I was checking one old hard drive and found the Mental Omega mod for Red Alert 2. That mod was very popular back in the day. It felt like developers secretly made a whole new game and hid it online. Modern studios are charging people for tiny DLC meanwhile fans were creating complete experiences...

Yesterday, i've been inside map editor instead of playing actual matches. I can't be the only one. Sometimes creating nonsense custom maps feels more relaxing than competing online. Back then in Warcraft III, I used to spend hours placing trees, hidden units and broken traps like one unpaid...

I tried one mobile strategy game last month and the experience nearly gave me hypertension. The screen was so tiny and I had accidental taps often, then one random ad will appear in the mid-battle. RTS needs space to be honest. Mobile controls just make everything feel like punishment. I know...

My biggest heartbreak was Dawn of War III. I saved some data for weeks to download it because the older games were legendary. I didn't enjoy it at all. I nearly uninstall it the same night. This is exactly why i stopped trusting hype trailers. Back then sequels used to improve the games...

I remembered those days where everybody was talking about Warcraft III. I still think that game is the king. The story, the factions, even the custom maps had pure energy. Modern fantasy RTS games have great graphics but they have no soul. Some newer games feel too polished and empty. Even with...

That game is so interesting. It's been fun since I started replaying Command & Conquer: Generals and one mission carried me away completely. The soundtrack alone still gives me goosebumps till today. Meanwhile games now want 200GB storage and monthly updates before you can even play it. Back...

I reinstalled one old game and honestly RTS games have not been the same lately. Everybody keeps hyping flashy graphics but there is nothing to enjoy. I tried that new Tempest Rising after spending a lot of time on it, it actually surprised me. The base building, unit sounds, even the tension...

I just completed one remastered campaign and honestly the remaster trend is saving RTS to some extent l 😂. Many younger players never touched these classics before. Without remasters, some legendary games would disappear completely. Plus not everybody can run modern games with current GPU...

I've been trying one newer RTS and honestly modern strategy games are becoming too simplified. Everything is now designed so nobody gets confused. Please, where’s the depth again? Old games used to trust players to learn through suffering a little 😂..Now tutorials hold your hand like a nursery...

I was watching old Red Alert 2 clips and honestly that franchise deserves a comeback immediately. At least they should bring back the games with proper madness and personality. The campy acting, crazy superweapons, ridiculous factions. They are great for entertainment.Modern RTS games feel too...

This StarCraft vs Age of Empires debate can linger forever 😂. Personally I lean more toward Age of Empires because it feels more relaxing. StarCraft is too intense sometimes. Just a little distraction can wipe out your whole base instantly. But i cant lie, StarCraft has deeper competitive...

I just finished reinstalling one old Command & Conquer game and honestly RTS games from the 90s had a different soul. Nowadays everything is too polished, too safe, too focused on esports balance. Back then devs just threw crazy ideas together and somehow it worked beautifully. I think the...

I’ve been practicing hotkeys again and honestly people clicking icons manually in RTS are brave warriors 😂. I used to be one of them until StarCraft humbled me badly. By the time I clicked three buildings, the enemy's army had already reached my base. Still, i wont lie, sometimes clicking icons...

I checked one replay and realized the guy was obviously map hacking 😂. That should attract permanent ban straight. No appeal. There is already enough cheating in real life, so at least games should remain clean. Back then, once somebody got caught map hacking, nobody wanted to play with him again.
