Very interesting take on RTS with some innovative movement mechanics. Unfortunately it's completely dead and mostly multiplayer only. You'll only be able to play skirmish against the AI, which gets pretty boring fast, or a multiplayer game if you wait for 99999 seconds. I'm not really sure it lives up to its "little to no micro" promise though. You still end up having to micro units around, just with controls that are sometimes clunkier that traditional RTS. But you should give this a go and judge for yourself if the premise sounds interesting.
This is one of the most unique RTS games I've ever played. It almost feels more like an auto-battler idle game in some sense, rather than your traditional, base building RTS. You don't have direct control of your units, instead you draw lines (hence the apt title) to where you want your units to go. If units matching the filters on the lines you draw are within a certain range of the line, they will follow that line. If there are two lines near each other the units naturally split and balance choosing which line to follow. Simply put, you build a barracks, it auto produces infantry, you draw a line from the barracks to where you want your guys to go, and they go there. They can either 'attack enemies and capture territory' or 'just move'. Capturing territory gives you income, as it's an area control game. The raw, almost clunky design here for issuing commands via lines actually works really nicely once you understand the nuance of it all. Sometimes you can just plan out your attack lines and defensive lines, then just sit back and let the game run. Instead of microing units around, you're trying to find ways to get behind enemy lines and gain footholds in their territory. It's almost like a race to try to gain as much territory control as you can. Then you'll see an enemy trying to take your territories and you draw more lines for defense. If you're clever enough you'll find nice chokepoints to line with artillery and sit back to watch your enemy burn through units as you gather enough for a counter attack. Tanks, planes, and boats all use a lot of energy though, so you'll need to claim and protect oil fields scattered throughout the map for the best power generation. Cities, towns, and industrial areas are useful to claim as well as they give bonus income. The random map generator is excellent and each map feels very different to play. The AI gets pretty predicable and beatable after a while, but when starting out you can give yourself a handicap and give the AI less income, just to make it feel fair. You will lose hard on your first few games, but you'll get better. This really is a different style of game, so expect to be confused as to how to get a transport plane to drop commandos, or get your planes to land on your aircraft carrier. It's all very doable but maybe not super intuitive. I really hope they add some kind of campaign, because this game would be super fun to conquer a relatively static fortified enemy, rather than just always replaying against the same AI in skirmish mode. Also this game would be great with more population for multiplayer as I've only had the rare opportunity to play a few games.
The game focuses more on Macro instead of Micro, which I think works really well. Seems deceptively easy, but there are a lot of nuances in how you should play. The in game video tutorials are short and concise, rarely longer than 20-30 seconds, but are super helpful to learn strategies and tactics in addition to basic game mechanics. It does seem like it would play better online vs other humans (which I haven't tried) but the AI is competent enough and you can add handicaps to make it easier or harder on yourself or the AI. I find myself liking the game more as I play it more. Great alternate take on a RTS, especially if you prefer macro to micro.
