Hey all,
I always loved Axis & allies because of it’s strategically advanced gameplay. I always used to play Risk and still do with most of my friends because they can’t be arsed to learn a new game :(. Now it’s not that Risk isn’t a fun game but it doesn’t require as much thinking as A&A does. In rts games i always compare it like this. Red Alert is like a fun decent RTS, but like A&A it doesn’t have the depth that Supreme Commander Forged Alliance has, or any RTS i know for that matter.
GPG has gone bankrupt though and the steam community for the game is also quite inactive. But in the end that was all for the better if you like playing this RTS, because it made Forged Alliance Forever - the community driven lobby for this game - possible. I think that most people in this A&A community like strategically advanced gameplay and most of you might like it in the form of RTS games. If so i’d like you to look at the Forged Alliance Forever community. It’s totally free to use, open source etc. and is community supported for the coming years. It also keeps developing the game by balance testing, adding new mods and more.
I hope you guys will check it out, and let me know what you think about it :) I just thought players who liked this game would definately like that one too
If you guys are interested:
Here is the faf community site, with the installer:
(i’d like to give the link but search for faforever on google :)
and there also are a few good casters on youtube. They provide tutorials or/and commentary on games.
If i could pick a game to show you guys it would definately be this one casted by Gyle.
It’s a 5 vs 5 of high skilled players and they use every trick in the book to defeat eachother:
Copy and paste ‘Guy Fawkes Special - FAF Cast - 164 - Custom 5v5’ in your Google search bar to find it :)
If you have any questions or just like to talk about it, i like to talk about it too so ill check this post regularly ;)
