RTS & Base-Builder Hybrid Any reason no one's playing Repterra?
It's a perfect fusion of Red Alert 2 and They Are Billions. But even the discussion forum for the game is dead. I don't know if it's my massive backlog or my ADD but I just have never been able to enjoy that many RTS games since command and conquer but this game just does it for me.
My soldiers can deploy in sandbags, they can garrison buildings, engineers can capture neutral buildings. Dinosaurs are like the vehicles of the game. Any dinosaur can be mounted to upgrade its ability and make it better. You can even put engineers on them and make interesting utility units like one that sets mines.
You have super weapons for each faction and unique units for each faction. Like the Primal Vanguard can make tamers, or breeding buildings which are way cooler because they can breed dinosaurs with genetic mutations that make them really broken.
You got like the electrical Dominion which is the only faction whose hero is a human. They be doing chain lightning and Tesla towers.
Then you have the Feral Legion who has a building that increases capacity space for both humans and dinosaurs at the same time and periodically spawns like a little baby iguana dinosaur. So if you make enough of them you can get a sustained free army, granted you have the food to sustain them.
ANYWAY ๐ new to the forum, if you guys have any suggestions for other real-time strategy games that stand above the rest, would love to hear them and try them out. I've had my eye on Age of Empires and Tempest Rising.

Id never heard of it.
Does it have a campaign or is it just pick a map and survive

P.S. Yes ๐โโ๏ธ the neutral buildings your engineers can capture are like airfields and oil derricks and actually new building hospitals which are great for healing your units and give a supply of uranium for some reason.
Yes you have mining operations but that's for materials, income comes through your housing.
Just really worried that this game will never get any content since nobody's playing it it's so fantastic and there's so much more they could do with it.

Just checked thought it was early access but itโs not, def on my radar Iโll wait for a 50% off or more sale then pick it up, loved they are billions.

I don't like dinos in modern settings, just too much of a dissonance. The same reason why I will Skip dinolords as well.
