Industrial Annihilation, from the makers of Planetary Annihilation, inspired by Supreme Commander, the spiritual successor to Total Annihilation...
At least I think that's correct. Who knows though...
Didn't see a general RTS thread with recent posts, which kind of makes sense with MOBAs and Tower Defenses kind of splitting the genre mechanics between them.
Anywho, I saw this pop up in my YouTube this morning

And it looked like an interesting idea. Throw factory building into an RTS and see how things go.
Should be fun for people who play their RTS with a focus on turtling and base building then A->moving a massive squad of dudes rather than carefully micro managing a half dozen units.

I got really into They Are Billions a little while ago - and I liked the emphasis on single-player base building. Age of Darkness didn't quite take (why wouldn't I just play TAB) and neither did Frostpunk (I think I need an enemy to fight against - an actual one, not just, like, 'the weather' or whatever). I like building a big base, and then when I have a big base I can make a lot of dudes and go kill something and win.
I wonder if you have to micro-manage the guys at all? Maybe you just stockpile as many guys as you can and periodically they automatically go and fight.
My buddies and I played that game a TON back in the day, even on the PS1. Then several years ago I found out the fans got the developers to release the source code, and so it's still being worked on by the community. Not quickly, mind you, but they have been releasing fixes and very rarely new unit parts and stuff.
As for this game, it reminds me of a mix of Planetary Annihilation and Mindustry (though Mindustry is TD instead of RTS, but it's still what I thought of). Color me interested, I enjoyed TA, SupCom1&2, and PA so if those sort of RTS elements are still good then I guess I can try to figure out the factory stuff lol
