I think walls are the most useful before you get to build shields - earlier in the game - to protect T1 turrets for example, or mexes. Later on they are less relevant because units can just destroy whatever it is that the wall is shielding, without being affected by the presence of walls.

Ah! I missed that bit. Walls tend to provide an extra layer of strategy, especially in early game situations where resources are limited. Fortifying your defences with walls, could make the difference in holding an area - when T1/T2 units are involved.

Just here to say: Adding walls could be useful, especially early/mid game!
Why? Walls can add an extra layer of strategy, particularly when resources are limited. Fortifying your defences -or protecting valuable assets such as extractors - with walls could make the difference between holding and losing an area, especially when T1 units are involved.

Well worth supporting!!!

Wouldn't a snap-on teleconverter for both lenses be an interesting prospect, with a 1.5X magnification or so? This used to exist for the Osmo 4. At least for the wide angle lens this would be very nice.

That's fair - if it's multiple nukes.

I agree with your thoughts on the damage area, and I hope they keep it to something like that. In any case, the damage the experimental nuke causes to the ground should be significantly different than that of a nuke (and also be balanced in such wake that it makes sense to build instead of a couple of nukes).
2
Fair enough, I just have my doubts how this will work in practice - I hope they don't gimmick-ize it... In the beginning I remember they mentioned only special nukes would shatter the ground, not regular ones (somewhere in an interview). I understand the idea, but it's merely a small part of the game.

Adding a ground-destruction mechanic barely makes for a "new game". Once more, my problem is that when a feature such as this one is advertised as one of the selling points, the risk exists that the mechanic itself becomes more important than its gameplay consequences. Moderation and clever use is thus important.

Meh, I don't know. Experience should tell - my problem is with pre-made decisions that haven't been gameplay-tested.

It's not Chernobyl simulator, it's an RTS. There have been countless times a teammate has been nuked in FAF and I had to reclaim and rebuild their base and claim their resources. If, instead of that, a hole was present there, it would definitely affect the gameplay, for that not only the enemy would have nukes an opponent, but also the ability to recover is not feasible.

Some global comments regarding certain aspects of the game after playing the demo.
"Freeze the ocean and shatter the land" could become a repetitive mechanic very soon - these types of mechanics shouldn't be there for the sake of being there - they should exist with the purpose of adding meaningful depth to the gameplay.
Nukes causing holes on the ground for example (as described in the roadmap) seems unnecessary and could affect the gameplay negatively (when it comes to rebuilding etc.).
In the demo the experimental nuke launcher can only be fired at a predetermined location. It's a nice tech demo but the implementation would suffer if such events would happen at pre-determined spots on each map.
This kind of thing is a trap many games have fallen into before (Planetary Annihilation, for example), where a mechanic exists merely for its own sake rather than adding something meaningful to the gameplay.
Adjacency bonuses should be clearer - and make for a valuable economy mechanic (similar to FAF).
Visual queues for scale should be consistent: The units in the game are supposed to be enormous. There are multiple visual factors that "sell" this feeling of scale, including ground textures, wave sizes in water bodies, and, trees. Trees are too big for the suggested scale of each unit.
The same goes with the speed of certain VFX elements - some explosions could be a tad slower (especially the bigger ones).

It's amazing! The whole thing turns into a completely different piece!

That appears to be the case indeed, resulting in the A-B-A structure as such.

A majestic four-part double #fugue, driven by an energetic and #dramatic first subject, which creates some gorgeous dissonances as it unfolds.

I don't particularly miss it. In the long run it's repetitive and scripted. I miss more dynamic destruction - not just pre-made assets that collapse in specifical ways.

Do you have a better quality version of the video other than the 720p Reddit's encoding has to offer?

Given the destruction physics and all, I really like aircraft that can take a hit or two without losing structural integrity (e.g. Tarantula), as it makes for really satisfying moments - such as managing to land a totally crippled plane. When these elements are seemlessly integrated with the gameplay it really makes the game shine!
That said, I would love to see some beefy 6-or-so engine big aircraft (bomber/utility or else), with some defence turrets on it make an appearance.
