RTS We Are Legion, indie RTS with millions of units

[Infinitron]

Taking the classic RTS rushing strategy to its logical conclusion.

Ancient China, 220 AD. China is in disarray and within years the population plummets from 60 million to less than 20 million. Massive war involving millions of men devastates the land. When General Huangfu Song 義真 was asked how he got around the unit caps to build such massive armies, he replied "小馬是世界上最好的開發商" which in the barbarian tongue of English means roughly, "What the %$#^ are unit caps, this is war!"

Forget about micro. Forget about build orders. This war is about one thing. Ridiculous, uncompromising, seething masses of blood hungry warriors massacring each other by the hundreds every second.

There is no unit cap. Control armies of hundreds of thousands, even millions. Send orders to a single unit, or send orders to a million units. Frantically maintain control of your resources across epic sized maps, while constantly building out your fleet of barracks to churn out millions of more units.

I don't know if fast paced, retro arcade style strategy is a thing, but if it is, this is it. 我會看到你在戰場上。

• No unit caps
• Command millions of units
• Largest scale RTS battles in HISTORY. #$%&!
• 4 player multiplayer death matches
• Sweet Chinese music

Human waves of disposable nameless pawns is never my favourite~ Pass!

Interesting, I guess, but that looks really hard on the eyes. Also not sure about the whole historical backdrop thing with Broken Arrow-fire raining down from above.

 

[Infinitron]

I think the historical backdrop is somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

 

[Luka-boy]

Tak Fuji would be proud.

Wow.

 

[DramaticPopcorn]

Ugh

 

[Wulfstand]

Reminds me of one of those WC3 custom made maps that you'd play once or twice and then completely forget about.

 

[Johannes]

Yeah, seems like something that'll be entertaining for 2 hours.

 

[Animal]

Madness!

(Also, it looks like one of those "TV Games" consoles bootlegs from the pre-historic ages)

 

[Angthoron]

Gratuitous Azn Battles.

Watched the trailer and have no idea what really happened. Seems is was just made to highlight loads of people dying and spawning without showing any actual gameplay.

The Chinese translation is wrong....

That's not nukes, that's the six demon bag. Wind, fire, all that kind of thing!
