  1. You have that principle in planetary annihilation.
  2. Tiberian sun has subterrain units, which is very innovative. By the way, talking about badass games; the really cool looking games? Or games that are very chaotic? Really cool looking game: Where one explains the game a bit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiufP40Efxo And another plays with the most freeky monster http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eva_ijSpuUY A chaotic game would be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX461S5Cbqk Ok, I don't even know any more what is going on in this next one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sak1HLBJeig
  3. Better then remove the t from paint ball.
  4. Not just one trick. There are several ones in that Mobius mission. Plus the crate. There is a crate I also sold of all things that where not needed. And I knew the best path for the APC. Yes, even with power, the enemy was doomed. And the harvester got constantly killed by me too. A good map has several path's for the player to find out. Although ,the difficulty will be how fast a player might discover these paths.
  5. He means that the saved file might be easy. In that case; AI sucks.
  6. The makers of grey goo the same as those who made dune2? Besides, only 15 missions doesn't mean it is short. How many did Renegade have? That game got me occupied for a longer time than estimated.
  7. Ahem... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwaseSj-k3o (how to make the video appear like how you 2 did it?)
  8. Did he just threw the hand grenade?
  9. It is kind of the quality that Blizzard puts in its games. EA is all about, money, money money.
  10. Forgot to be in this topic. HI!
  11. Immidiately tell the host you would like to spectate. But remember, some rather ban you than waiting an average of eternity before you changed your settings to spectate. Others would only allow spectators since if is a private match. I understand if others are to stupid to understand, "leave them alone". But then again, you have a private message option for letting them know you ate a newb instead of a noob. Lag is a good reason for ban though. However they should let you know if you lag. You are welcome to join my games.
  12. The ammount of ways to play dirty is always bigger then playing nice. For fair play, your only choice is to trust others. Of course it would be nice if spectators don't give away your tactics. But cheaters always find a way. (Sitting in one room, sharing vision with several monitors.)
  13. Why not silence the spectators, they only can talk amongst themselves? Or only allow them to talk to all players, if they want to talk to a player?
  14. Nr. 6 Briljant. I loved the one in the down right corner of the last picture. Is that a water cooler?

    "Useless" units

    I assume you mean that only one of the two should be their target? They can't target air, like rocket soldiers do. Thus more damage, which I think should be applied to any rocket in TS. It isn't my point. It is an all known fact. This fact doesn't change. No matter how much you disagree with. I have explained only one time why they have choosen the rocket to be weak against infantry. I have also explained how they came to that decision. So I never repeated myself.
  16. Can the hunter seeker hit air that is in flight?
  17. Going to test if that is possible

    "Useless" units

    2. No, this is true what I said. I discussed it with other game designers. Perhaps you find them to weak. But they are supposed to be weak against infantry. Or else you have an unit that is "OP". Westwood/EA games decided, infantry is their weak point. But have you played all the other C&C games? In C&C Dawn they are even weaker where they only have 25 health instead of 50. Yet they do have a good impact on vehicles. Thus, if you think they should do more damage against vehicles, then I agree. 3. Grammar issue. But yes, I too have declared this somewhere on the forum. 6 Rifle infantry manage to kill 1 flame tank in TS when placed properly. Not an issue in Dawn or C&C3. 5. Page 3 of this topic.
  19. Even more freedom of next mission choice than in EBfD. Also that if you leave a region alone for a while, this one slowly grows stronger and stronger. With a certain ammount, it attacks you instead! However, this requires a limit to your own regions in strength. A RISK like board if you will.
  20. Obviously my mistake in not having short game activated, my first round. Only to learning of this option 5 days later. Thanks W32 Any way, the game prior to the real stuff, 1 week ago: I think this guy set up a patrol waypoint for 1 air unit in the upper left corner. Above water, where no hoover can reach, nor a SAM. I did see something going left/right/left/right. Thus the game never could end. To bad for him, I simply left and noted his name. Since I have no proof, I am not telling who it was. But this guy will have a hard time getting into my games from now on. Any way, this is a lesson to be learned. USE the option short game. This also removes any unwanted stealth hiding or infantry hiding. Nor will one hide under a bridge. Now that I think about it, EMP is a valid option

    Build orders

    I don't get the component tower. This consumes time? Also, I rather build a ref instead of harv, and then simply sell the ref. Gives 1000 back and 5 infantry. So for only 1000 you have 1 harv and 5 infantry. I would keep the radar since it provides a little extra vision, if your opponent has an obvious color on the minimap. After tech, I keep spamming power plants and refs. Of course I also keep spamming Titans and Bombers. Towards tiberian fields. power ref ref (sell) ref (sell) ref power ref ref (sell) ref (sell) ref Etc. If my approach isn't any good. Tell me, ok?
  22. Liking it so far. These days, you can do a lot of jokes with an old game. An overall story is intended? Do one with "attack on titan" ?? Or one where a flamethrower gets banned from any forum for flaming, every one telling him he is flaming people. And he is like, how do you know?
  23. Tiberian Zombies You have those in Renegade.
  24. Well, I am trying to become part of TS. But every player that joins my game, leaves during the game. So much for learning new tricks. Only this forum provides me with new stuff since I called TS imbalanced (provocation gives best results in responds, sorry ) Joining a game? Well, host leaves. I have tried 5 times. Until now (out of 6), only 1 game was played until the end.

    "Useless" units

    1. Agreed. 2. No. Since it is a game. The reason why rockets do so less damage against infantry in almost any RTS is because in real life. They do overkill. 1 Rocket kills 1 soldier (or several with splash). This same rocket would also kill 1 tank. Since we are playing a game, and the simulation is that 1 rocket is overkill against infantry: each unit has health points. Let's say x10, then the soldier gets 1 damage each time, while a tank might get 5 damage (50 health instead of 10 health) 3. Flame Tanks are indeed a bit overpowered against infantry, the splash is overpowered. Not the weapon. 6 Rifle Infantry do have a good chance in beating 1 flame tank (TS version). But this is their purpose. But you are right if we are talking about damage against vehicles. Against light vehicles (that would run away anyway) the damage could have like +50%? However, EA-games decided that their flame units are good against structures. If you want flame based weapons that are good against light vehicles. Go play Starcraft or Warzone2100 or any other game that has this featured. 4. Perhaps Titans are a bit OP? 5. I find any air OP in TS. 6. Buggy 300 and Wolverine 400? 7. Like in C&C3? There they are one of the coolest weaponry. That includes the flame tank as well. 8. They are too expensive as well! 1850! FFS. Have you played C&C3? Because in that game, most units are balanced. Even the Recon Bike has a much better function in harvester/air raping.
