Hi everyone!

Here's another battle update from Admiral Yi: The Imjin War, the historical RTS I'm developing solo.

This time, I've been working on artillery combat in land battles.

Players can manually select where their cannons bombard, rather than simply ordering them to attack individual enemy units.

When enemy infantry gets too close, the cannons can switch to grapeshot, dealing much heavier damage to soldiers at short range.

In this video, Joseon artillery bombards advancing Japanese troops, switches to grapeshot as they approach, and eventually causes the Japanese forces to break and flee.

I'm trying to make different weapons and ammunition types offer meaningful tactical choices on the battlefield.

There's still plenty to improve, especially with combat AI, animations, and battlefield behavior.

I'd love to hear what RTS players think of the artillery mechanics!

Thank you

Text and background were made in blender to get that 3D look with proper lighting, too.

Always loved the RA soundtracks so put together a playlist of my own, including making some instrumentals that didn't already exist. Enormous respect to Frank for absolutely killing it across the entire series

Hey, is anyone still playing Earth 2150? I’m looking for some more players for multiplayer ;-)

Hey there!

I’m Erik, the game director of Steadfast which started a year ago as a hobby project of mine. I was inspired to bring back the feeling of Age of Sail I/II games. I then began working with Igor, who is a talented game artist who has previously worked on the Ultimate General/Admiral series of games.

We’re excited to reveal a slice of the game with you. It’s a RTT (real-time tactics) strategy title which is set during 1793 - 1815. It puts you in command of your fleet with a range of ship classes from small nimble cutters up to first rate ship of the line. Everything from hull damage, crew morale and weather is modeled.

We will be revealing more and more over the weeks to come. But hope you enjoy our teaser trailer which shows some footage!

So... I've been developing a medieval strategy game named "Beyond the Rhine" and want to gauge interest from the community.

The game focuses on large-scale sieges against intricately designed, concentric walled cities. You can deploy vast armies consisting of cavalry, infantry, and cannons from the surrounding forests to attack these fortifications. The combat features dynamic destruction where cannon fire blows holes in the town walls, towers collapse in fiery explosions, and fires spread through the city buildings as your troops push through the breaches.

The tactical experience is supported by detailed campaign mechanics and customizable environments. You plan your army's movements on a regional map, such as preparing for the "Siege of Quedlinburg". During gameplay, you can use the settings menu to adjust environmental factors like the day/night cycle, rain, and fog to change the atmosphere of the battle. After securing a victory, the game provides a detailed breakdown of your casualties and plundered loot, followed by narrative events where you make decisions about the conquered town, such as seeking out mercenaries in the woods.

I'm trying to see if this mix of tactical deployment and explosive real-time destruction appeals to strategy fans. There is pixel mode graphics and normal 3d graphics, to mix things up...

THIS IS PRE-ALPHA, THE GAME MAY LOOK SUPER BAD IN SOME SCENES.

Just want to hear peoples opinions as it is not far away now.

Hi everyone!

I've been a software engineer for the past decade, and i've always been a big fan of RTS games, specifically growing up with Empire Earth and Starcraft. I've been working on outside of my actual day job a game that I have been wanting to play myself for awhile now. Essence of Redwall but in a large scale battle environment.

It's currently playable vs CPU opponents (up to 8 players), with different strategies. Each map is procedural generated and each individual aspect of the map is changeable in settings (rivers, mountains, elevation, resources, etc).

Some of the features i've added that I think help set it apart from the others:

• Rivers/Dams: dams make rivers beyond it cross-able, but if destroyed, temporarily floods downriver.
• Tunnels/Bridges: building tunnels through mountain ranges/impassable routes, and having bridges able to be built across valleys and other terrain, not just rivers.
• Night influences gameplay: during night, line of sight is decreased, and light can increase it. Units can turn on and off their personal lights, so they can sneak up on units to gain advantage.

Of course I have a bunch of ideas, but i'm trying to keep my goals manageable for now to avoid scope creep. It's hard though. 😅

My current still in progress aspects are cleaning up the tech tree, diplomacy, some additional models for the first 3 ages, and overall balance changes.

What are your thoughts on the trailer? And the current UI? I've been in my own world, so any feedback is extremely useful.

Hi everyone!

I’ve been developing a mod for Seven Kingdoms II. While diving deep into the game's code, I noticed that the original game was released with quite a bit of unfinished content.

I’ve spent time polishing and fixing many of those underlying issues, while also adding new factions, fresh content, and several overall improvements.

If you loved Seven Kingdoms II or are still playing it today, I’d love for you to give it a try! I’ve built a custom launcher that handles updates automatically whenever a new patch drops.

You can download the launcher via the link attached in the post. Hope you guys enjoy it, and feel free to leave any feedback!

Phantom Havoc Demo

My solo developed project is finally approved & released!

After much, much delay the Demo is now live for everyone to play. There is roughly 90minutes of game play, with quite a few features included. There are still some bugs to work out, but it's fairly polished and ready to enjoy. Had to take some time to myself and regather where this is going and which features to include so excuse the massive delay.

Demo:

Players have control over one playable faction, multiple types of units, from small fighters to large battlecruisers. Players are also able to build bases and defenses. In this demo level, players have to rescue and evacuate civilians back to orbit to complete the missions. Players also have the choice if they want to go on offensive and attack the enemy flagship & fleet command. Use traditional RTS controls, or take direct control of units.

Win condition: All civilians evacuated to orbit.

Thanks everyone for your support in this endeavor and the words of encouragement.

Hope you find it worthwhile to play.

Approved for release.

I am playing around with an RTS idea I've been musing about, curious how other RTS players feel about tech tree design.

Do you prefer massive, interconnected tech trees with lots of prerequisites, or something that's easy to understand at a glance but still offers plenty of strategic depth? Due to lack of knowledge (being honest) leaning towards the later.

The game has three unique factions, each with their own tech trees, strengths, weaknesses, and gameplay mechanics. While they share some core systems, each faction approaches combat, expansion, and resource management differently.

Our current approach:

• Simple progression: Buildings unlock through a relatively easy-to-follow tech tree.
• Tier 3 specializations: Each building type eventually branches into distinct specializations that change how it functions. Choosing one locks that specialization across all buildings of that type.
• Global research: Your Command Core handles permanent upgrades like resource capacity, armour, weapons, and infrastructure.
• Meaningful trade-offs: For example, at T3 an airfield can specialize in area bombing runs or precision strikes, but not both.

The goal is to keep the tech trees approachable while ensuring each faction has plenty of strategic depth, meaningful decisions, and replayability.

What is the sweet spot is between accessibility and complexity?

I've attached a sample of our current Freehold (human faction) tech tree for reference. It's still a work in progress, and I'd love to hear what experienced RTS players think!

If anyone has any interest in providing any feedback from my demo update (found here: v 0.9.0 Demo Update - Crowns of Aldmere by Crignog) that would be incredible.

Playing around with procedural explosion animations, the dust particles act as a fluid and go through air only, meaning it shoots out through the narrow spaces between buildings.
