Stormgate's Third Faction Revealed
Ойындар
Once a tightly guarded secret known only to thousands of our closed beta testers, the Celestial Armada have finally arrived. The Celestials are a race of highly technologically advanced interstellar travelers who have come to Earth to challenge the demonic Infernal Host for control over our planet-with humanity caught in the middle.
For more on the Celestials, which some playtesters have called the most original RTS faction they’ve ever played, visit the Celestials faction page on the official Stormgate website.

We need our zerg faction so the lead dev can alter them to be broken af and then claim his faction is the weakest in the game. Then when any faction gets a quality counter, he can low key nuke their range and damage to ensure his precious zerg are always able to kite any counter and steal any unit that cant be kited for free whenever he gets outmenuvered. Totally not being specific to anyone in particular.

Y’all make good points. Yes the Protoss do seem to be inspired by the ELDAR. and the Eldar are basically like an advanced Eleven race (space Elves) So wouldn’t it be cool if they had made the third faction like a futuristic/advanced Night Elves faction? Baisically a race that is very in tune with the ways of nature but also technologically advanced as well. It could make for interesting and unique choices for units. But they choose to play it safe by basically making a Protoss clone.

As someone who doesn't enjoy playing protoss, having tried this race already I can say it is really fun and different. The energy mechanic is really unique and adds a layer of complexity for those who wants that without being unreasonable to learn either. As a terran enjoyer in SC2 I like how some of the buildings can move around and the versatility of the Celestial Armada.

I understand that Angels were an obvious choice for the third faction, but I was kinda hoping it would be something else. Something like corrupted Wild Life, or Corrupted Plants would’ve been cool. I have no doubt this faction will be “well-made” but none of the factions have creativity to them.
Is there a mechanic is going between light mode and dark mode, they remind me of the Masari from Universe At War.
Seems very interesting to warp in even buildings, while fighting. Made some really cool interactions possible in WC3. I hope they bring alot of weird stuff into the game like in WC3 with the nice mechanics of SC2 and without heroes. Good Job, Frost Giant Studios !
they look amazing!
Now I understand why Warz looked angelic in the trailer. He's probably a fallen Celestial. This setting's version of Lucifer.

Brooooo so true! I loved the game. The alien action was so cool with the walkers.
Hey I don’t know who is reading these comments but I think I have a really cool idea. So when you start a game in any rts there is so much tension built before a match. And it feels terrible in my opinion to sit and wait for a loading screen to finish only to be thrown into a match requiring your full on attention. A solution could be a small little in game cutscene for each of the factions you would play, so let’s say I’m playing infernals and my match just loads in, what if I had this cool dynamic cutscene of the infernal base coming out of the ground from hell and the camera slowly adjust itself to its base position for a seamless transition, then the game starts, it seems like a small thing but I think it could go a long way.
Amazing!
Im so here for this
looks pretty cool!
Soo happy that everyone gets to see the third faction
"The archangel Tassael was sent to purge the -Terran- human worlds of the -infestation- Hell spawn. Unfortunately he did not carry out his orders by sparring the -Terrans- humans from the flame. The -Conclave- Council of Heaven will not tolerate his wanton betrayal."
