Would I need a fairly powerful machine to run this? I can run Starcraft 2, is that enough? I've toyed with Total Annihilation, but the graphics were too old, even for Brood War fan such as myself.
Is Zero-k still popular now that its cousin https://www.beyondallreason.info has matured ?
BAR is more similar to the original Total Annihilation (and successors like Supreme Commander). It's a lot of similar units (e.g. tanks) with subtle variations, multiple tiers, with a focus on out-numbering your opponent. Zero-K went a different route. They simplified the economy (metal cost = energy cost) but added a whole lot of mechanics like overdrive grids and made every unit unique. There is a lot of variety wi…
Was the BAR peewee-launching gun inspired by Zero-K ?

It basically came out a few years before SC2, being even less graphically demanding. (At which point my own PC with a GeForce 4 which, for comparison to today, had either 0.064 or 0.128 Go of VRAM, would struggle to run it.) Some graphic improvements have happened since then of course, and the requirements are now somewhat higher. Now the issue is that it doesn't have the unit caps that SC2 does, and the number of pl…
Are there any popular 4vs4 games? I will first start versus AI, then take it from there. Not really a competitive player anymore. Playing Brood War kinda makes you dislike multiplayer RTS after a while, haha.

All games with 8 players (though not only 4vs4) : http://zero-k.info/Battles?Title=&Map=&PlayersFrom=8&Players...
As someone who still watches the Korean Broodwar scene, how are the mechanics in this game? Is there micro? Or is it more sc2 style where you put all your units in a single control group and then death ball them into the other death ball?

I wish people were slightly more up front about their games being Spring Engine mods.
