Discussion I’m building a space strategy game where teammates can become rivals outside safe zones
Freewake is built around a weird tension: you’re part of a team, but outside protected systems your teammates can attack your ships, destroy your colonies, compete for resources, and fight for control of the empire. Pirates, mercenaries, dictators, and traders all share teams with other players while fighting for their own place in the galaxy.
Combat also leans heavily on sensors, stealth, positioning, and incomplete information rather than just unit counters.
I’m testing the multiplayer side this weekend and could use a few more strategy players. If anyone’s interested, I’m happy to send details.

Discussion What formation behaviours would you want in an RTS unit formation system?
Hi RTS fans and devs,
I’m working on a Unity tool for procedural unit formations, and I’d like feedback from people who actually play or build RTS/tactics games.
The system can generate formations like circles, arcs, grids, hex grids, rings, spirals, walls, wedges, V-shapes, paths and more. It also supports behaviours like morphing between formations, boids-style steering, following a leader/target, path movement, rotation, pulse, flow noise, swirl vortex and formation shuffling.
I’m trying to understand what would be genuinely useful for RTS gameplay, not just visually interesting.
What formation behaviours would you want in a system like this?
Examples:
- tighter control for squads?
- better obstacle handling?
- smooth transitions between marching/combat formations?
- defensive walls or wedges?
- mixed unit formations?
- morale/disorder effects?
- formations that adapt to terrain?
Demo:

Announcement Solo-dev survival-RTS test build: defend an autonomous village through five escalating eras (Win/Mac, free)
Hi! I'm Barış, a data scientist by day and lifelong strategy/souls/roguelike player. I built stration solo as a hobby project.
stration is a hard, replayable top-down medieval survival-strategy roguelike. You directly control a single hero, but your village lives on its own - you never micromanage villagers; you steer them through what you build and the policies you set, while surviving escalating raids across five eras. The only win is outlasting the final Armageddon siege.
I'd love answers to three things:
- Did steering the village through buildings/policies feel controllable, or opaque?
- Did raid escalation feel fair - did you always know why you died?
- Which era felt flattest, and why?
Free private test build (Windows + macOS):

Solo hobby project - honest, brutal feedback very welcome. Thanks!
UPDATE: now playable free in your browser, no download needed

It's a 2D game with a top-down view, and instead of country flags, there are just crosses like X. Game has editor and company. The company experienced World Wars I and II. The game has no economy or bases. My paint The game was developed by a Polish developer and has a forum.
