Certainly there's an argument to be had over whether they should be able to (I'd say definitely yes for consistency reasons, but as for balance reasons we can't know until other planetary invasion elements are in place). I don't know what the solution is to make planetary invasion more feasible, but air units through teleporters won't solve any issues. There are two usual situations, the first is that one player greatly out-ecos the other and it's just a matter of waiting for big-eco-player to make enough Avengers to overwhelm the other, or both players are roughly equal in eco and you get a stalemate (or if not a literal stalemate, a game where the action stops for so long that it's impossible to stay focussed). Regardless, the problem is not that air units can't go through teleporters, the problem is that the options to invade a planet are very limited and usually come down to out-spamming your opponent. Perversely it's easier to invade a large planet than a small moon, because it's easier to cover a moon in Umbrellas. Invading fortified planets is currently pretty broken. His umbrellas will hurt you, but if he has a soft spot without them you want to tile the sky above it with anchors to secure a landing zone. Once you're cleared out his orbital layer get orbital radar over his planet and start spamming anchors with great zeal.

Sadly, we may have to wait until mods can deliver this brand of goodness, so in the mean time I suggest countering an enemy's 'super moon patrol' by building lots and lots of avengers. If it's ascent/descent were slow enough it would still be counterable with umbrellas and avengers before it could launch fighters.Īlternatively I could see building the same unit, but rather than as a transport it would be an interplanetary T1 airfactory armed with a flak gun to secure the air around itself while it starts pumping out interceptors. My first choice would be a interplanetary carrier that drops down like an Astraeus to load or launch aircraft. However i think i might it another shot now that there is an actual single player campaign.I definitely do not want air units to be teleportable as I enjoy land and air being as different as possible, but I would love it if we had NEW ways to move air units between planets. Explore gives you three random tech choices.

You move between systems and click explore or if there is an enemy, click fight first, then explore after you win. It features the ability to build giant titan robots. As trying to do an invasion was extremely difficult. Planetary Annihilation Titans is the sequel to Planetary Annihilation. I just never really found the game fun, every game pretty much broke down into throw a rock at the enemy main base. It wasn't until me and one of my friends sat down and basically had a game where we tried to understand the mechanics, before I felt I had a decent-ish grasp on the gameplay.Įven after getting all the mechanics down pat, and winning a few games. The game at the time didn't have a single player, and since the games concept was so very different than most standard RTS's games, i had a lot of difficulty adjusting. I found this game so much more stressful than any other RTS probably due to a combination of the spherical nature of the maps, along with the whole multiple planets. There is a reason most RTS games start you in the corner of the map. On top of that the worlds are spherical which adds another layer of complexity to the game. However it was frankly quite frustrating to deal with, as instead of focusing on a single map you are instead focusing on multiple. The planet system is an amazing idea on paper. However i liked the idea more then actual game for so many reasons. I loved the idea behind PA, and as a huge RTS fan, i kickstarted it. Some of the gameplay elements didn't allow for that strategic gameplay.

It's been ages since I played, but I would have liked stronger front-lines and forward operating bases. If I remember correctly the original devs didn't want to use shields and such to balance things or introduce such buildings and units. That is a hard thing to balance on a sphere.

Nice to see they tackled balancing though with air and ground units. Unless I'm missing something they didn't drastically change the core building and unit system. Looking at the updates they added some new units. That game has a solid engine, but the units, buildings, and general progression weren't fun. The spherical planet was the big thing since an RTS with no edges is strategically chaotic). (Might be subjective, but we didn't find it fun logistically or intuitive in terms of camera movement. The whole planet thing while cool in concept just didn't play well. I kickstarted it along with a few of them. My friends were just talking about this game the other day in the context of wanting a new RTS on a large scale.
