ROMA2443 - What would make you want to play it?

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a big update about the development of Roma2443.

After a lot of work, I finally managed to implement smooth pathfinding in the game, which makes unit movement feel way more natural and responsive during battles.
I also added a brand new unit: the Archer

This unit has a special mechanic:
➡️ Archers can hide inside trees and stay undetected until enemies use a scan or destroy the tree. It opens the door for ambushes, scouting, and more tactical gameplay.

We’re also organizing our first 8-player tournament on Discord with a 25€ cash prize, and there are still some spots available!

Discord:
Join the Discord server

The goal is to organize at least one tournament every month and slowly build a competitive/community scene around the game.

We also regularly organize community matches and playtests on the Discord, so if you want people to play with, you’ll easily find games there.

You can also watch some gameplay here:

And of course, the game itself is playable here:

The main reason I’m making this thread is because I’d genuinely like feedback from RTS / strategy players:

  • What is currently missing that would make you want to try the game?
  • What would make you join the community and stick around?
  • If the game doesn’t interest you yet, what features or ideas would change your mind?

I’m trying to improve the game step by step, so honest feedback is super valuable

Roma2443 - I Just Played Some Extremely Competitive Matches on This Game

I just played a few really high-level matches with another strong player, and honestly… the potential of this game is crazy.

If you want to see what the gameplay looks like when two players really start pushing the mechanics and strategy, go watch the replays:

in the "Watch replay" section.

En 2243, le monde a découvert que nous vivions dans une simulation. Il y a donc eu des guerres qui ont détruit la civilisation. Il reste seulement quelques vestiges de l’ancienne époque, comme des tanks ou des fusils d’assaut en quantité limitée.

Deux camps s’affrontent : ceux qui pensent que l’IA est le véritable créateur, et ceux pour qui Dieu reste le créateur.

Il a aussi été découvert des moyens de hacker la “réalité” afin d’obtenir des pouvoirs dépassant les lois de la physique, mais les pare-feu du monde empêchent d’utiliser ces hacks à des fins destructrices.

Je développe Roma 2443 depuis un peu plus de 2 mois, 100% avec l’IA et avec la librairie d’assets Tiny RTS.

C’est un jeu web PC jouable clavier/souris, avec des parties qui durent maximum 10 minutes. L’objectif est de détruire le QG ennemi, et si aucun QG n’est détruit après 10 minutes, celui qui a infligé le plus de dégâts gagne.

Il y a du ranked, des replays, des parties d’entraînement contre des bots pendant l’attente du matchmaking, et j’améliore le jeu en fonction des retours.

Pour l’instant, les joueurs qui connaissent les RTS me donnent de bons retours : les parties sont nerveuses, rapides et demandent pas mal de skill. Le jeu est assez simple à comprendre et à jouer, mais demande un peu d’entraînement pour maîtriser les synergies entre les unités.

Mon objectif est de créer une petite communauté autour du jeu et d’organiser quelques petits tournois avec cashprize.

Vous pouvez rejoindre le Discord directement depuis le jeu. Quand quelqu’un rejoint le matchmaking, un message est automatiquement envoyé sur un channel Discord.

Hey everyone!

A lot of players have already tried Roma2443 (1v1 micro-focused rts) and really enjoyed its competitive aspect, it’s fast, skill-based, and all about micro decisions.

I’ve recently added a ranking system, so you can now climb the ladder and see how you compare to others 🏆

There’s also a replay feature: you can watch the last 10 matches played, which is perfect for improving or just spectating high-level games.

If you prefer to practice first, you can also play against bots.

I also encourage you to join the Discord directly from the game to organize matches and find opponents more easily.

When you enter matchmaking, a message is automatically sent to Discord, making it easier to get games going quickly.

Jump in, give it a try, and let us know what you think!
