oh dammit, should have brought more tissues.
You can use the mousewheel to scroll out from this level of action:
To this level of action
Where all those icon represent much smaller dots on the map that are the units from the first shot (not the same scene).
Game sounds awesome, at last an RTS dealing with proper scale, and GLOBAL conflict...cant wait...Chris Taylor, never leave the RTS genre again.

I LOVED TA.
That being said, there were definitly areas that needed improvment, and I hope this game does them
For example, big units (like battleships) need to either be much faster to build, or (preferably) live much longer. It would take quite a while to build something like the battleship, and it would get sunk in a few seconds once in combat. Id like to see some big units that make a DIFFERENCE in battle, something that could really turn the tide. Like the Supercruisers in Homeworld 2. They took a long time to make, but once built they could really take a pounding. And when one arrived on the scene of a capship battle, you knew it was going to be a big factor. And don't say "wait TA had the Krogoth!" because that thing was never supposed to be built, especially not in multiplayer. The game designers basially said "yeah, well if your opponent is lax enough to actually let you build a Krogoth, they deserve whats comin to them."
The other weakness (I felt) was air units. They were expensive to build, and really didnt seem to be all that effective.

Could this dethrone Kohan as the best RTS ever? Possibly?
I missed out on TA - but man i will not pass this up!
Is it 2d!? is it 2d!? please say yea, that would be grand -----
If not, then those are the most photoshoped fake images ever.... no way that's 3d, unless they're working on some CAD engine that runs in complete isometric.
I'm still not convinced they have anything from these shots, and hopefully they'll get an art-director at some point - but I'll keep my eye open, looks fun.

GAMESPY: Put up the land/sea/air battles featurettes damnit!!
I just came back into this thread, saw those screenshots again and messed another pair of pants.
They could have just made hi-res TA and id have been camping out GAME for my copy (that's what the zoomed in screenshots look like to me) but they've also gone so much further into things I've wanted RTS games to do for years.
Ive never wanted a game this much, ever.

I'm with you. All the ideas Chris Taylor has in this game are phenomenal.

Starcraft, as good as it was then, is incredibly and sickeningly dated by today's standards.

It's called Kohan: Ahriman's Gift.
Or hell, Warlords Battlecry, if you want a series that did what Warcraft 3 tried to do, but much better.
