@vdb.tv.Ай бұрын
Ohhhh energy only is absolutely insane! No wonder rez bots feel so damn good to use. Truly an S teir unit
@chronographerАй бұрын
The cost is the 50% of energy cost of the unit. So take a tiger, cost 665 metal and 10000E to build normally, it would leave a wreck of 350M on the ground. If you reclaim it you will have to pay 315 more metal and 10000E to get one back on the field. If you ressurect you only pay 5000E and zero more metal. But it will come back with low HP and need to be healed (for free) I believe the time is 100% of the normal build time for the ressurected, and then another ~100% to repair. So the above tiger would be like 1 Min for a single rez bot to resurrect and then another Min to repair, but don't quote me on that part. Reclaiming on the other hand depends on the amount of metal in the wreck, but is usually about 15 times faster than resurrecting, and 25-30x faster than resurrecting and repairing.

U first cons turret need to be in range of lab to reduce bp starvation specially as air. that air lost is not u fault but u could have prevent it, u normally dont do a wide line early on cuz u dont have that many figs, so u look for impirtant spots (using scouts or looking at the map), if u see a comander go down and a trans moving in to position u need to have u fighters in a ball and ready to address the issue and protect the trans.

I really like seeing these blocks of games. See how people adjust the strategy each time. The range of dps on laser weapons e.g.40-80 is a nice new change. It's damage at Max range-Min range, as lasers usually lose 50% with distance. The old dps numbers were a bit misleading.
@chronographerАй бұрын
And the flanking damage is actually up to +100%, yes double! Say two grunts flanks a tank. the way it works is the the first bot will do normal damage, and then the second one will do at most double depending on the angle. So overall you're getting 150% out of the grunts, best case. And as you're coming in on one side it's going to be less than that so +25% is probably a more realistic number unless you get a full wrap around a stationary LLT.

Bit one sided on the skill ratings... But I do like the 5v5's we're getting. 3v3 and less seem to just become a bunch of 1v1's, big T1 spam slogs. And we all know what 8v8's are like, pretty map dependent. But 5v5-6v6 are sweet. Just enough people that you can dedicate a player to air, but do you risk a tech player? Big enough that teams have the space to take teching/navy/co-op risks, while still small enough that being aggressive on T1 is 100% still worth it.

First time I've seen this map too. But I already like it more than isthmus! I'm currently in the process of learning to make maps, but by the commander is it technical
@@vdb.tv.Also yellow never got bombed. He was switching to helping magenta in the water to helping orange on land. Which is why choice lost south sea and blue team lost in the middle too.
Cheers, I thought I'd missed a big plat from the blue team there. I feel like I this wasn't my best work and maybe I'll do another cast on this map soon so I can do it some justice.
this is a old map idk if they revamp it to be more appealing or something but this was in the first game
I was wondering why it was v1.2 and not v1 if it was new. Maybe it's getting pulled out of retirement because isthmus is getting over played
Shurikens are very ineffective vs salamanders which is why air player didn't use. They are a big waste against amphibious tanks as they have emp resistance
I feel this wasn't my greatest cast. I was talking about pre amphib raid for the shurikens. Those amphib tanks are an absolute hassle to deal with no matter when they come into play.
Ohh nice. Another Bar channel, subbed. Nice commentary, sad that red team gave up so early.
Thanks for the sub! I understand when teams that don't play together often bow out a little early as it's hard to know how strong your team mates are at carrying.
I really like seeing these blocks of games. See how people adjust the strategy each time. The range of dps on laser weapons e.g.40-80 is a nice new change. It's damage at Max range-Min range, as lasers usually lose 50% with distance. The old dps numbers were a bit misleading.
And the flanking damage is actually up to +100%, yes double! Say two grunts flanks a tank. the way it works is the the first bot will do normal damage, and then the second one will do at most double depending on the angle. So overall you're getting 150% out of the grunts, best case. And as you're coming in on one side it's going to be less than that so +25% is probably a more realistic number unless you get a full wrap around a stationary LLT.
ahh cheers for clearing that one up! I didn't realize it was actually double from the back. Getting a good wrap around always feels good and now i know why.
That's one of the main reasons I do this format more often than not. I like to see how pro players change up the tactics on the same map whether they win or lose or if they notice the opponent is doing something different.
Game3 Raghna knew he was behind and was going for com snipe. If you are behind 2 to 1 in eco you have to go all out dive, time against you
I feel like he could've pulled it off with a slightly different unit composition. Was a very close though.
Range you get from being on hill is showed ingame. Larger circle in display, higher accuracy too.
Cheers for the hot tip. I was never quite sure if I was imagining it or not. Good to know that it does actually show you.
Funny that blue seems to have a great spawn with his back to a wall and the geothermal right there, but the wind on this map is actually so good that the geo is more of a ticking time bomb.
Never underestimate the power of a Cerberus. But yeah you're right the geo isn't essential in securing a win here
23 minutes in I’m see8ng a nice balanced Econ…your doing your job
Yeah I felt pretty good about that game! Just a bit of a shame that I missed those 2 fighters coming in to kill my constructors 😫
Ldm is cool as can be.. not shocked you got invited to game …besides your not terrible… keep developing your big picture and unit knowledge..you question exactly the things you need to ingame
He truly is a gem. Glad I could give him a little pep talk at the start of the match
Keep going VDB…produce,produce and produce some more..keep pushing buddy
Very weird spawn spot by raghna on the first map but it did so much early damage. It pinned himself into the corner later though.
It was very intriguing to watch because he almost had it. I feel like with some refining he could make that a legit strategy. As long as the opponent doesn't early scout and counter it with their superior metal income
Keep producing content VDB…those who know bar appreciate you
Cheers mate! I've just been having a bit of trouble getting internet active at my new apartment so once it's up I'll send some more your way ;)
Im Nr 57
I'm sorry, what?
Gj dude
Cheers mate, always putting my best foot forward!
what game is this?
Beyond All Reason(BAR) it's open source and free to play! There's also cash tournaments pretty often.
Really great switch to the sumo's I think. They were about the only thing that can survive multiple fat boy shots.
That switch was very good. The sumos could get vision without instant death and the turret could rain down on him 🤣
I won my first FFA the other day, 5 players too. Just a bunch of us noobs, but i got a great scuttle play off so I'm happy.
Wow very well played
I was not expecting that outcome at all!
Video gets cut off at the end. Maybe an issue with the upload?
Cheers for the heads up mate! I've just moved into a new place and am having some troubles with the internet. I'll triple check the next one to make sure this doesn't happen again.
Bit one sided on the skill ratings... But I do like the 5v5's we're getting. 3v3 and less seem to just become a bunch of 1v1's, big T1 spam slogs. And we all know what 8v8's are like, pretty map dependent. But 5v5-6v6 are sweet. Just enough people that you can dedicate a player to air, but do you risk a tech player? Big enough that teams have the space to take teching/navy/co-op risks, while still small enough that being aggressive on T1 is 100% still worth it.
yeah, i mean i say at the start that one team is established and one team is a public team. im really excited to watch the 5v5 tournament to see two pro teams go at it with each other. I feel like 8v8 is just an absolute mess.
Hilarious and bizarre commentary on this one 10/10 👏
I try to keep it fresh for you guys :D
It's a fun map, I think because the middle actually doesn't have that many resources. Also your profile picture has too many toes 😅
And the poison arrow is actually great, like a T2 pounder. But far too expensive in that situation.
The terrain of the map and the layout of resources is top teir aye. Yeah my profile pic was supposed to be a kiwi bird that's half cyborg, but ai doesn't know what a kiwi bird is haha. I'll get a proper picture drawn up by a real artist when I can afford it. Or maybe I'll draw one myself for a laugh.
Gj dude. I hope you can earn a few bucks ;)
I'm doing this just because I love this game and the community it has. Hopefully one day I can earn some cash from it, but if not I'm okay with that too.
I c BAR I lke
My man!
great cast, also being in australia myself you've just fked me up with that tick story
Permanently scarred from my time in Aus. Spiders as big as a dinner plate can go to heck.
nice cast tho mate
u were right ur blind, spy bots
Haha yeah, It was bugging me too because spy bots are one of my favourite units. They can be super powerful when used properly. I've watched this back 3 or 4 times and each time I get a good laugh at my brain fog 😅.
Very interesting to see a team not have a single cortex commander. Seems a risk for the late game eco, and looks like it hurt those bombing runs having arm go air. Guess everyone knew it would be decided quickly.
It's honestly something I have never seen before the latest patch. Arm air is better at t2 in my opinion, but getting air to t2 in a match like this would be a bit of a stretch haha. I think everyone was trying to play fastball.
spy bot emp
Thankyou!! I was wondering if that's what it was but I just wasn't seeing them anyway. I was just about to go back and rewatch this for that reason
Noob question: how do you actually counter these annoying cortex swarm T1 tanks? Was at the same situation once and lost because of these bloody tanks.
Depends on what build you are going. If you're bots, the anti swarm bot is great(centurion) or if you're vehicles, a mix of stouts and janus' are key. Pounders are very tricky to counter because of the immobilize they do. But your units can still attack while immobile.
Non stop action from first minute instead waiting 20 minutes for anything.
This has to have been one of my favourite games to cast. Very action-packed and all-around good plays.
If u want cast interesting games don't cast noob games as there for 90 percent of the total game time happens nil, no matter how potentially interesting the game setup was.
I agree, I'm just trying to showcase some different game modes and strategies if I can find them. I'll be moving away from noob games from now on, cheers for the advice!
Enjoyed your casting and have selection
Thanks mate! i'll keep posting them if you keep watching ;)
BiggestFaunaFan being the most annoying mf in that lobby, my man baron stomped that game.
Yeah, not sure what was going on there. I thought it was friendly banter at first. Can't wait to see how the pros go at a ffa tournament.
Great casting ... good to hear an Aussie caster
Cheers mate, I'm actually from New Zealand though 😅 it's alright because kiwis and Aussies are a pretty tight knit group so I'll let you away with this one.
