I have clocked more than 200 hours on Ashes of the singularity , I like it a lot , and I'm usually forced to defend this game against people throwing every kind of shit at it....

The
main
mistake
everyone
does
,
Godde
included
,
is
to
compare
Ashes
to
any
TA
-
SUPCOMesque
kind
of
game
,
maybe
mislead
by
the
general
aspect
of
the
game.
They
have
nothing
in
common
,
except
strategic
zoom
which
was
added
later
by
the
way.

Another mistake everyone does , is to not consider Ashes budget against SupCom budget , which was like 10x times bigger , especially considering the times of development.

Ashes is not a game where you micro the single unit , it's like a linear RTS with a classic rock paper scissors system behind. You capture nodes and you decide what to build.

Yes , sometimes it's a confusing clusterfuck because you can spam so much , but in the end it's not the single fight deciding wether you lose or win a game. It's like a continous flow of units and who makes the right decisions takes more map. A sort of arm wrestling . That's why complaining about unit dying fast is a bit nonsense.

With that number of units dying wrecks would be a mess , and units chaging direction is part of microing the units, in fact they change direction very fast. You can decide to run away or take the fight , you don't micro a single unit like Starcrfaft or zero k .

the number of units at your disposal is not that small compared to any standard rts like Supcom. If you think about supcom you end up building the same 2/3 units per tier. Here you have more variety in what units do. Did you even see all the units available by unlocking them with the special buildings ??

MAPs
at
disposal
are
about
100
,
which
is
a
very
good
number
compared
to
any
standard
rts
.
Some
rts
come
out
with
like
15
maps
in
total
.
You
can
compare
of
course
the
number
of
the
maps
with
zero
k.

Orbital abilites are to be used rarely and you have to build specific quanta structures to use them . So you decide if it's worth building more units or more quanta. I personally use them rarely .

BUT , let me say , this game is not worth all the badmouthing it had. But in the end I understand it's all about tastes , I personally can't play Supcom FA anymore cause it's so slow and clunky , but many seems to like it more than in 2007 .
