Oh boy, I really wanted to see what happens after you get a tier 2 unit out.

I'm trying to dissect the unit grouping and orders from what I can see in that gameplay (and the two other videos). Maybe you can shed some light.

0:40 you selected a unit and it selected the associated squad. Squads appear to be spawning together, not individually. That looked very Company of Heroes-like, so that helps my understanding a lot.

1:02 you control-grouped four different squads. Does that now make them one larger squad, or keeps them 4 separate squads that can still be ordered independently? Am I correct that this is not yet a meta-unit/battle-group, as indicated at 2:44 in the nosoundfx video?

1:47 you hovered over units in control group 1 and that highlighted other units in the group. Is that highlighting the squad or just units of the same type?

2:01 you said since the guardians were individuals you can focus-fire them. But when you gave the attack command it actually looked like your units were given orders to attack them as if the enemy units were a squad, though some units did appear to focus the one target unit. Can you clarify?

2:07 you said "Once I start getting meta-units out..." Then you didn't finish that sentence, but instead looked to be preparing tier 2 builds. Could you please finish that sentence?

I'm dying to see meta-units in action!!!

HI!

A control group is still the same as any other game in the sense that it's just a remembered selection. It's not a Battle group yet.  A battle group requires a leader and a leader must be a higher rated unit (T2 or T3) at its head.

A given T1 is a squad (ala company of heroes). That squad is just 1 unit.

The meta units are still very very primitive in action.  There's also a lot of pacing work to be done.

Hi Frogboy,

Just watching the video the radar signature appears light blue on the shroud which is dark blue which im assuming will be black at some point.  is this normal that the radar signature shows up like that over the shroud? and with regards radar i didn't see a specific building does it come as default with the HQ or are you planning on a specific radar building / building radar building upgrades or specific upgrade which allows increasing levels of radar distance in the future.  i suppose the question is how is radar implemented haha.

My scout I it comes with radar.

So it means the games does not have a radar structure?

We really need a new thread, of "Let's Play" to "Let's Play Alpha for SotS for Founders"

Weekend is almost here, ready to play test!

We have sensor towers as well.
