In my supporting explanations I jogged on about how it was going to lower the bandwidth issues/etc. Where did you get that specific impression matt? I have a feeling that someone said it sometime/somewhere.

Matt is partially right, no? Well hifi, what do you have to say about that?

I wonder if this can be applied to make a ring style KOTH match for multiplayer? Capture one of the buildings in the center to get money, if its destroyed; that player loses and is out of the match, while the rest fight on.

You sound like one of the original dev's might of Nyer.

Woohoo, wtg hifi!

For NOD vs GDI this is an instant tech map, rush a temple; then move onto the island and keep nuking their war factories to keep them at bay. (Just wanted to add that) In general; you want to spam ref's and sell them to get quick harvesters to make space for more buildings fast. Other then that; I suggest taking the other two posts right away and building refs at them asap. Its easy to get kicked off the island, and its game over when that happens. Any really good GDI player will tell you to rely more on infantry support at the start of the game then hoping for the medium rush. You just need to provide situations in which those infantry can work. All going well you can skip straight to mammoth or fall back on the medium if things go wrong. Also, med's have one cell longer range then light tanks, so use it to your advantage when in defensive positions.

Sounds like the tunnel system might be running into trouble; This is what we get for paying basically next to nothing for vps services (or using java). Complain to hifi.

Ah, its ok; just use the tunnel for more then 2 people on the same network.

I think a basic topic about the general tactics used in TD might be good, not just a newbie intro.

Nyerguds, you think too much; see this topic as a pseudo IRC convo and you will be less inclined to say that (What do you expect from people who spend all day there)

I think we should burn all anime based avatars.

Matt, this is supposed to be an open discussion, you are turning it into something else; since you are the only representative for OpenRA here I suggest you either get some of the other guys to take your place or learn to chill a bit. Nyerguds, are you up to going over to openRA and fixing the entire engine/game so it matches the feel of TD?

Hifi is this still up? I think it would be good to have an OpenRA channel if its not up already.

Matt, how can you expect Nyerguds to actually do that with all the reasons he's given already to not agree with it?

So your saying you want OpenRA to be like starcraft and competetive in the pro gamer scene?

Try running it on "stamina" if you have that button. Otherwise I would suggest cleaning out the heatsink and replacing the contact surface pads with high quality conductant.

But you have to realise, RA was popular probably because of a mistake or a very last minute change inspired by like a beta tester/random dev. If you compare all the westwood games before, none of them has the tank rushing and vehicle speed the same as RA. We pretty much conclude here that the entire premise of such gameplay was forced against the nature of its origins, making it the oddity that *started* tank rushing but that oddity being an important step in the evolution of rts's in making them popular. Which is why its even more important to preserve it the way it is; as an oddity that started it all.

But why take the name if you are not gonna try and actually make it of that namesake? Red Alert is the game we have now. The moment you change the smallest bit inside, its no longer what it used to be.

Why did you "rebalance" the game? You had the ability to perfectly recreate the original feel and texture but you didn't. Why?

So forgotten that I forget to work on it!

Fk changing the game. UI enhancements and compatibility fixes, epic. but fk changing the game.

This thread is stupid, hes asking too many questions and doing too little. Don't feed the attention whores!

PS: Matt, This thread is all about concept maps, these are nothing to be released; k? People ARE WELCOME to make their own maps based off of them, but all the sources are hopefully destroyed after being posted. Cheers

Haha, that was smart of them!
