How can it be so good bros?
Why can't something like this happen with other genres or other RTS in the vein of AoE?

Several
SupCom has bigger scale, so you're almost always zoomed out. SupCom has 4 tiers of units and the economy grows much larger, but also makes it so you never see the later tiers in a well played game. Buildings have adjacency bonus and they're important to take into consideration. But the main problem is that SupCom FAF is on an outdated engine that only runs on 2 cores and will always choke, and there's no more support for it.

BAR is a Total Annihilation sequel, plays almost the same. Micro managing is much more important and you use building turrets to do almost anything. Most importantly, the engine is new so no issues there.

If you want more SupCom, Sanctuary Shattered Sun is gonna be more like it.

bar is way more micro intensive and has feable commanders compared to FAF. Bar has better perfomance + netcode in comparision to FAF.

Gameplay = FAF | Tech = BAR

I can't go back to SupCom after BAR. Feels so slow and janky.

I feel like Gates of Hell should be here besides Men of War, i mean, it is the best of that kind of RTS right now and it's awesome

You're sending mixed messages here. Is it finally getting better or not? RTS is always a niche interest that fell into irrelevancy once its players split off to play other things.

BAR is an open source project about a TA reimagination. It is good, it is free, and it is pretty much what you want in any RTS game.
But I would like something like AoE to happen. Galactic Battlegrounds kind of thing, but with this kind of love. 0A.D. is supposed to be something like that, but it just doesn't click for me.
