a good tip abouot the commander situation is, that you only "harvest" it until 2-3% and leave the body there. Later on, when you have lots of metal, you can just rez your commander so you basically only borrow the metal instead of scrificing him.

I think this is the most beautiful teching I have ever seen. This final base was so efficient it almost made me cry. Thank you for blessing my eyes with such structure.

My attempt at a written build order for those who want to try this out with a txt doc open.

Rough build order:
3 mex
2 solars
Bot lab
Rez bot + 2 constructors
Constructors get mexs, Second constructor builds 1 construction turret, starts a second and also leaves the base to grab any extra mexs
Go up to 35 Windmills (Armada)
When energy approaches cap, add energy storage
Post energy storage, when energy approaches 75%, add energy converters as needed (up to 8)
Continue building windmills
After 35 windmills - Start T2 lab, self d commander and reclaim for metal
Once t2 lab is finished, start T2 constructor (Do not boost t2 constructor) - Start reclaiming T2 lab
Add 2 construction turrets
Add metal storage
When metal storage is finished, finish reclaiming t2 lab
3 T2 mexs, reclaim metal storage/, basic solars.
Add construction turret (total 5) if you have enough metal
Fusion reactor (Start 6:38. Finish 7:42)
1 Advanced energy converter
Add construction turrets to total of 8 simultaneosly with starting Advanced Fusion Reactor
Reclaim windmills for metal
Advanced Fusion Reactor (Start 8:16. Finish 11:34)

Final completed build inventory:
3x T2 mexs
3x T1 mexs
1x AFUS
1x FUS
8x construction turrets
8x Basic energy converters
1x Advanced energy converter
1x Rez bot
1x T2 constructor
2x T1 constructor

Didn't know you were over here on BAR. I took a lone break from playing/watching AoE4 and have been loving BAR. So much depth and so many options for a free game.

Exceptionally well made video. An AFUS energy output fully converted is 51.3 metal

BAR "7:41 Fission" by Drongo with 6 mex (my best: 9:09 post commander update):
Stage 1:
1. 3 mex 2 solar bot lab
2. 1 rez 2 builders, assist rez
3. start building wind, 35-40 is the ultimate target, assist second builder once wind overflows
4. B1: 2 north mex, then wind
5. B2: assisted nano
6. 2nd nano blueprint (don't assist), south mex
7. energy storage, 6 converters once wind overflows
8. reclaim bot lab (650) with rez
9. T2 lab, reclaim comm with rez (5-6 minutes in)
Stage 2:
1. + 2 nanos
2. T2 builder (don't boost), reclaim T2 lab at the same time, keep building turbines
3. metal storage, reclaim T2 bot lab
4. upgrade 3 mex
5. +1 nano, fission, reclaim metal storage
6. reclaim solars with rez after a delay
7. adv energy converter
8. +3-5 nano, AFU, reclaim wind turbines, reclaim excess nano with nano if needed
9. 3 adv energy converters + nanos
10. anti-nuke

Wintergaming and Drongo are on the BAR train? It's been great seeing so many personalities discovering this awesome gem. Hard to believe it's free when it absolutely smokes so many recent RTS games.

[DDoom]

We need more of this!!! Great video. BAR has to become big. What a good game and very impressive execution!

[Krzeszny]

They reduced comm metal from 2000 to 1250 in the commander update just after this video, in May.
7:41 fission is no longer possible. After about 10 tries I went from 10-11 minutes to 9:10 minutes but I can't do any better in that spot.

[MrkBO]

I think its funny I played TA when it was released, got into SC2, watched Winter's channel during covid and then saw him playing BAR a few weeks back.

[Armadillyo]

Excellent. Can't wait to see more BAR content from you.

[xclonecommander]

I watch a lot of Starcraft 2 and I was wondering how the mex and energy in this game compared and damn I didn't know you could build such an insane economy in this. Looks like a ton of fun.

[codstary]

No fucking way, I just played this game. You're bloody maurader run by was so good

[nohasgotthename]

Love the commentary, hope to see more BAR content

[benclone]

Great economy video, well explained, many essential principles touched upon, In my games I'm going to try to reclaim the buildings that I no longer need as my base / economy progresses

[EbonyWolf.]

omg Drongo doing BAR content. Am I dreaming. I dont even know anymore.

[jeromejulius]

Great guide, thanks for sharing! Halfway through your video I noticed my name j2j and thought "oh cool, i got to play with the Aussie Drongo!" But then my heart skipped a beat wondering if i flamed The Aussie Drongo...glad u were cool!

Good seeing you over here on BAR! Love your other content too!

[kingfisher]

Hell yeah I love that BAR is taking off

[erickerr]

I've started a version of this where I rush the marauders, but I waste a lot of time building other units and structures along the way. I'm going to try this method while backlining and see if I can end the game quicker. The marauders are such a problem for early to mid game, especially on maps like straights that are so wide open. Mobility is really hard to defend against.

[MrMerlinAoe]

Triple mechs?? with the Arm Faction?? wow this is wild content!!
