@medierra With all the up and coming giants with their RTS, do you guys anxious about coming out late after the giant had their fight?
Anyway, I wish all the best for you guys! Keep it up with the success!
Since the RTS is set in a timeline before the Grim Dawn, will there be a chance to see these beasts alive?
Zantai said that they can be seen as “spawns of Beronath”. Beronath is the mythical “Great Beast” that is long dead in the GD timeline, but what if Beronath is still alive in the RTS timeline? Maybe there will be a Beronath faction? That would be pretty awesome.

What if Beronath is actually still alive in the GD timeline…

And here I was thinking that a giant skeletal corpse would have made a bomb setpiece/arena in FoA…
Time to test!
Some bits and pieces from the 29th August 2023 dev stream.
With the 3rd expansion we’ll be meeting the Kurn and learning about their history which features in the upcoming RTS game.
RTS will feature the Kurn, Eurlan and Arkovia.
Mammoths might feature prominently in the RTS.

A mammoth! Some real-time strategy games also have such monster units.
The most interesting thing to me is this design:mammoth tank form Red Alert 3.

Well, well, well. Found these comments over on the GD facebook page in replies to Zantai’s latest thread about FoA.

I know this is old and you’ve listed a few more RTS games you’ve played in the past, but I haven’t seen Age of Mythology. For me it was the RTS I played the most. What I really liked about it was that it had a lot of character. You could pick your gods to worship, which gives you the updates for your units and special myth units. I felt this made it more engaging and gave you some options to adjust your strategy when moving through the ages, compared to AoE2 where it always feels a bit bland to me.
I hope your RTS will also feature some meaningful choices to be made along the way (other than straight upgrades for everything) and opportunities for making come backs.

I didn’t know this thread before today. That was an exciting read for an AoE2 enjoyer like me. There were some juicy anecdotes.
A note about the RTS genre being very much alive: the envelope provided by Microsoft for AoE2 tourneys in 2026 is more than 100k$! In fact, the biggest tourney alone has a prize pool of 100k. It’s really cool. Events Calendar - Age of Empires - World's Edge Studio
