Great game :)

Downloaded it last week. Put a few hours into the game. It’s stellar. Very reminiscent of Total Annihilation. Even has the Big Bertha giant canons that are horribly impractical; yet a blast to fire.

Beyond All Reason is my favorite RTS at the moment. I enjoyed Planetary Annihilation (despite its flaws), and BAR provides the same sense of exponential growth, escalation, and strategic pivots.

One of my favorite things about the game is that it's not ridiculously APM-intensive. The controls have a learning curve, but they enable you to "fire and forget" most of your tasks.

If you want to get a sense for the game before diving in, Brightworks does some good casting for both competitive and community-level games. https://www.youtube.com/@BrightWorksTV

I need to pick this up when I get home. I keep putting it off.
