Forged Battalion - Petroglyph, RTS, make your own army

I just couldn’t get over how bad my own AI was. The bad guys were mere feet away and my guys were just standing there. I’ve seen RTS games from a decade or longer ago handle that better.

Yeah there was that also. ;)

I considered they might behaving lunch, or distracted on their phones.

Or teenagers.

“I’ll do it in a minute DAD. Geez.”

Well, there was finally a piece of news on the game. After months of radio silence…

Can’t say that was entirely unexpected.

Bwahahahha okay. Are they gonna add the AI in, along with the fun, as part of a release patch?

They do have 4 more days! ;)

I am sure it will resolve all the issues currently present.

So they left it sitting for months, and “presto!” it is now done? Yeah, seems this was a waste of $.

I wonder how much longer Petroglyph can continue to exist. When is the last time they had a hit, Star Wars: Empire at War? Grey Goo didn’t seem to do well, though it seemed like a decent game, and they have all of the 8-bit stuff and now this.

So ummm… Did anyone try the 1.0 version?

:D

I’d planned to but, after seeing they didn’t make a single balance change in the last months of early access, opted to not waste my time. So much potential washed away.

Life goes on.

Yeah, they basically abandoned it to work on their Conan RTS, it appears.

It’s sad, but Petroglyph is no longer a studio that excites me.

You’re not alone there buddy.
