7:45 could it be that you didn't loose health, but by leveling up the commander your healthpool increased and the regeneration therefor brings you to the new increased health pool?

To be honest, Cortex and Armada don't have significant enough gameplay differences for me to care about Factions existing. But THIS Faction; VERY different story! Both the eco and units play very differently. Even the Commander is super different. Heavy armaments but no D-Gun is a big deal! Those Mine-Layers are infinite value! Put a few to work on your side of the map and you pretty much shut down raids entirely, for almost free! Would love to see if the Ground-Burning attacks are devastating to Swarm Units, and see how the Eco stacks up in a high-level game.

i would agree buildings coms and t1 units dont have a real significant difference. but units in the t2 and t3 stage definitely do have significant differences imo.

yeah I think that's true. the most substantial difference I can think of is cortex having shuriken vs armada having light gunships. but they're definitely tuned very similarly for balancing i'd guess. this faction is absolutely going to change things up and I'm excited to see what that entails :)

@@BrightWorksTV Well, it's a bad design. If half of the units are just copy of existing unit then it's almost same thing as one faction, we don't need this. Factions should be totally different so we have always reasons to think that second faction is so broken. Look at Starcraft 2, 3 factions, totally different units. And everything is balanced. This is a bad design sadly, they should not make units mirror-like. I still love this game but this should be way better than this. Just make everything broken and fun and at the end try to balance things up.

Seems like their units move slower overall, no? I also noticed some of the builder units have "priority" button on them, which i don't remember seeing elsewhere.

they do seem to have a lot of slow units, I hadn't noticed that! and the priority thing is actually for any builder basically letting you allocate which projects to focus on and whatnot

Fun video, seems like this faction has a much different play mechanic than the other 2. Ima noob, are u giving constuctors an area commmand to upgrade mexes? How do you do that? And how do you reclaim buildings of the same type in an area?

for area mex you hit z to enter the economy mode then z again to enter the area mex mode. check with your keybinds in game though. anyways from there just left click and drag. to reclaim all of a thing in an area hit reclaim then hold alt, hover over the building type you want to tear down then left click and drag. for more in depth check out my hotkeys roman strategy video :)

Looks like they're still fiddling with concepts. Right now the game is balanced between plasma bolts and lasers, with lightning being a signature of Armada and flames for Core. If they are going to add a 3rd faction, they are going to need to introduce a 3rd projectile type and signature mass-damage signature. Frost maybe? Ice nation?

yeah thats true, it looks like they want to go in some sort of a swarmy drone ish direction which is totally cool but they definitly dont have the distinct elements figured out. I love that idea, could totally see them taking some elemental inspiration in legions design

Ice weapon seems a bit fantasy. Maybe acid. Or nanobots. It's weird that they get used for construction but not destruction. Could have nano-carriers that send out swarms to deconstruct or Reclaim the enemy, but destroying the Carrier destroys the swarm.

Legion is actually extremely OP, their T2 gauss bot is better than gunslinger to my knowledge, so you just spam them with radar and jammer bots. Until then, centaurs pretty much beat every other T1 bot. I think they're slower than pawns and grunts, but not by much, and way stronger.
