A new war is brewing. A violent conflict, between the Six Colonies, each one convinced that it was in the right, each one sure of its own ability to defeat its enemies. But they need Generals. They need soldiers. They need you.

Hey everyone! HUGE announcement! Evolution RTS is currently on Steam Greenlight! But, in order for it to go live, Steam has to know that you want it to be available on Steam.

Evolution RTS v4.8 is released and missions have arrived!
Ok, here is the deal. Missions must be added through the Desura files, which means that any time I add a mission, they will not be immediately available due to Desura’s approval process. However, Desura...

Looks like it was inspired by Supreme Commander and Total Annihilation. Congrats on getting onto steam Greenlight Hope you'll be able to make it in :3
Why does it say that linux is a platform? Please change so that it says only "Platform: Windows" or do you really mean you are supporting linux?
Linux is supported (not via Desura), albeit the support is not up to the standard that I would like, but it works, and it works pretty well. That said, Desura Linux support should be coming within the month (if the new engine version is released within that time frame).
Kinda reminds me of SupCom.
Great game. When I saw the screens/videos I didn't believe it's a freeware. I'm gonna stick to it for a longer time when/if you implement the offline mode. Thanks for the time you sacrificed to create this game.
Singleplayer Missions are coming, but to be honest, they take a while to make, and test for bugs, etc.
They are also somewhat difficult to maintain, but I have some ideas on that. You can of course play skirmish games by yourself. Just log on, join a server, add a bot and hit start, but I assume you are mainly referring to singleplayer missions.
Coming Soon (tm) :-)
Forgot to mention that as of Lobby version 4.0, hosting your own games locally (offline/online) should be a possibility. I need to stress that in order for anyone to be able to play with you, you will need to have your ports forwarded. There is a nat transversal ability, but it will not always be 100% effective with every router out there, etc etc etc.
But even when this ability is present, the dedicated hosts aren't going anywhere.
How old are you? 9? Can't you do anything by yourself?
1. Download and install Desura
2. Click "Play Evolution RTS"
3. Create a username on the server
That is it. Desura will take care of updating maps and the engine for you (so that you don't de-sync with other users when something gets updated). It will take care of filtering battle info so that you only see relevant information. It sets all of your graphics settings for you AUTOMATICALLY.
And, in general, it takes care of everything for you. Could I do it without Desura? No. Because I have no way of informing your version that it is outdated, and the server doesn't care, so it will happily allow you to start a game with the wrong version of the engine, causing desyncs and player irritation (mostly aimed at you for being the "stupid noob").
This isn't some game company here, this is one guy. I don't have anything nice to say, so I'll just stop at this juncture, but remember that this game is free. I have poured over 4 years of my life into creating this game. The least you could do is not be a jerk when you're complaining (In other words, complaining is fine, Just don't be a jerk about it!).
And after all that, you will be sorely disappointed when you try to play a game and get kicked out of the host because you have the wrong engine version. Evolution RTS doesn't necessarily use the latest and greatest engine version all the time because the engine devs sometimes accidentally break crucial parts, so in order to spare users form that discomfort, we use an older version of the engine until the new version is fixed.
All this coming from the guy who tried to convince me that the Spring Engine (which this game is built upon) is better than the engine Evolution RTS uses.
Allow me to speak for all indie devs when I say, GTFO! *******.
Couldn't have said it better myself! Nice job puttting that prick in his place.
