Beyond All Reason is AMAZING. I can't say enough about it. Its my favourite game, and totally annihilates (!) the competition.
Though I guess the competition is pretty small for large scale RTS. Maybe:
BAR has fixed all the UI/UX problem, scales well, has a big community, is free, fun, and super deep and complex.
I don't really like this type of games but the game looks pretty cool
Yeah its a specific type of person that would enjoy it, perhaps a Factorio/Factory Must Grow genre mixed with small scale RTS.
Still, playing 20v20 games are incredible.
Had too scroll way too far for BAR. It’s amazing!
Its also gone gangbusters over the past few months, unsure why. Hundreds of concurrent players at any time which is pretty amazing.
Also ZeroK, on the same springRTS engine
Zero K is also great, but they've changed the gameplay a lot from the original TA
ZeroK has some of the nicest QoL features I've seen in an RTS game, I've always wanted to see if the other big Spring games are similar.
I found all the ZK ones made it to BAR, right click formations, area mexes, repeat queues, fancy waypointing etc. Maybe its just an inherent part of Spring RTS so they all share the benefits, who knows.
