I for one, would disappear again for a while. Where I live, it never sat right with what EA-games would make. If everyone goes master, then the room would be empty. I am solely depending on places like cncnet. But only regarding EA-games. Besides, there are some good maps around here. It is a shame that those indeed aren't going to be in the remaster. But maybe you can start printing them or something like that? Use a ruler to draw the lines and such. So that you know, where what was placed. I did this once with WC2 when I was a 10 year old (NO INTERNET!) and took the map to a friend to recreate the map there.

Selling the conyard will certainly make a rush stronger. I suppose we should look at a 10k starting cash. This would be 12.5k and perhaps a free engineer as well. That is a plus 34 percent, given that you wanted that engineer. The question is. Infantry only, or a factory as well? A factory takes too long to build. In the same time, multiple barracks could be added. On the smallest maps, a whole all in infantry army is possible. Did you take that in account?

This depends on the map imho. But somehow I feel that you might be right for the first few minutes of the game. But later on, 3 refinery will have the upper hand.

Yes, I see how it compensates. Did you simply thought of a number that felt well? Or did you some math as well to get to the optimal low health/high damage?

2 hits is extremely low. I know they have this in C&C 3. But there, the damage they can do is more than sufficient for decemt hit and run attacks. Think like this: 2 hits is 1 counter shot. 1 hit is 0 counter shots.

I voted maybe. Make it optional. I got reasons that would support the yes AND the no vote. I bet all of them are going to be mentioned in this topic in the next week.

Impressive list. You are doing math which interests me. May I suggest the following 2 change of viewpoints plus an invite: - Keep track of the original value's. Place them side by side. So, old and new are both shown. - Don't do just DPS. DPS means nothing in case of combat situations. It only matters when your unit has no opposition and is simply harassing defenceless objects. Also, DPS means nothing if you don't add in the RPS mechanic of the type of projectiles. As strange as it sounds. A whole list of number of shots needed to kill a certain opponent is a much better value to compare. Even better is when you include the ROF/Cool-down and warm-up aspects of each weapon. Meaning, Obelisk warms-up for the first shot, this is extra survival time. A titan shoots immediately, so that projectile requires one less Cool-down for finishing up an opponent. - If you want to go deeper on certain aspects of RTS gaming. Feel free to PM me.

How do you picture the storage mechanic and the starting funds mechanic?

Cash carying over from mission to mission should be removed. Silo usage should be forced more.

How about removing the cruisers ability to "not being able to fire on sea". And simply reduce the damage. Also, the inaccuracy should be removed. It made no sense tbh. And yeah. Spamming tesla is a game genre. Simply don't play those matches. Go for a normal map. I might add. Only once I encountered a guy who wanted to play on 5 speed. And we had a sea/ land map. We found ourselves forced to keep the base small. And do 1 to 3 unit attacks. The apc with tanya or a thief was his choice. I went for sea control to be able to beachhead behind his base with v2. Eventually we discovered that we both had some air as well for powerplant harassing. His rangers where a dick to my v2. My heavy tanks main job was crushing. And he had the courage to chrono his apc with tanyas into the middle of my base. I enjoyed that game the most so far.

4 to 5 ref in a 1v1 on a money map doesn't work well. The other guy will rush you asap anyway. The risk is truly only worth in ffa.

IMHO, Perfect answer Mole40k. I also suspect that the resource system is flawed for the multiplayer experience. The single player missions feel decent to me. But in most. It is mass titans. Just like how td players go mass medium tanks.

https://steamcommunity.com/app/686260/discussions/0/1693785035806967325/?ctp=4 Interesting topic about it.

They have asked the original team on it. I once suggested that too (not assuming they saw my suggestion though). But that is a good thing imho. It isn't just EA-games. No need to be negative, I'd say. Lets see what they can do. And the best way is to consider all our points (from all communities) one by one.

I decided to wait. And see what they have for us. When it is finished. I think it is great that they are undertaking such a risk.

1 Thing to mention. Then have others up or down vote your 1 thing is a good idea. Rework Squishing That's it, rework the squishing. That is what the vote is for. I feel that the balance needs some work on regarding squishing. It is so far the biggest thorn in my eye's for both TD as RA. The rest of here are merely suggestions on how to do it, any of them might do: - Either make squishing tanks slower when having to deal with multiple infantry in number or health. Thus only slower when they truly start running over infantry. - Or make them more expensive in terms of their speed. Speed is the ROF for squishing in most early RTS games. - Or let the tank gain damage from it because of exploding weapons under the tracks. With rocket soldiers doing the most damage of course. As one reply to one of the other posts. I second the placement. It has to be worked on too. This one got from me an upvote so that I don't have to post it myself. As of how to rework the placement on structures. I think 2 cells in between for both TD as RA. This allows for cliff jumping. And if players disagree. How about also applying a penalty on the number of cells? +50 for 1 cell, +100 for 2 cells? Edit: I also feel that Ravage has a possible answer to Mortisanti.

I find that having to click all the time is part of the skills of players, for these retro games. However, I would not be troubled if a que for units is possible. But this should be an option. It has been discussed many times before. As option, it would be the best to keep all parties happy. The limit? Just have it like C&C3 I guess. I find 5 to low if you are using que's anyway. Shift click should always be applied if there is a que regarding units. The same for shift right click to be cancelling asap. Then the following special cases. I don't think they suit C&C TD and RA. But if they have to be present. Make it optional for players. And I posted the way how I think would be most fair. A que for buildings? No. Having an entire base ready for placement is even worse. On the other hand as option: Placing the basics for the structures like in KKnD or AoW3 can be optional. Because here the enemy can destroy starting buildings. To prevent abuse however, the spend money should still be a constant stream. So what I mean is, no instant missing of resources when an engineer stands close to one of the refineries. A que for walls? That might be a good idea (as option). It would stimulate players to build more walls. But it should be done like how EbfD builds walls. You select the places where you want the walls to be build. Then it starts building them asap. Also, allow players to strike through anything that is in the way. The walls should be build there where possible. This allows for faster repairing of damaged walls, the gaps that is. We could even throw in an automatic sell/rebuild mechanic on this one.

I know it is you, in the video. I was talking about Chem in YET another chat in the youtube community.

I bet you too rape people in that game. As long as you are willing to be strategic with the upgrades. Once you start. I could give you pointers. Also, patience can be very, very powerful. The pointers should remain private though. Since aow3 noobs might be lurking around for things they can't find out by themselves. So, once you start. Give me your game name on this forum. Then I can explain every good choice.

I sometimes go even 6 red with 2 pow on ffa games as a gamble. Ps. Is it reeaaly you on the youtube? Ps^2 trollololol!♤♡◇♧ ...really needing that raping partner 4fun on aow3 that is at least rape-level 10.

Any one using the "normal" orca and harpy?

I agree with Ferret. But my reasoning is that I like that layout because the players have at least a private tiberium patch.

I enjoyed TaxOwlBear series on it.

@c0rpsmakrCan't help with the hate speech. I am not an admin, sorry. Hope we can at least continue the topic a bit normally. Can you perhaps direct your comments a bit more to who you are responding. I think that might reduce confusion. At least on my part. But yeah, a project by itself, created by those who suggest alterations. Free to try it out. That could work. That could still work. it needs devotion though. But I think that even someone who doesn't know the games, should be able to make a mod with their own name on it. It can be funny to try such mods out. IF, certain unwritten rules are met. I find it strange that with an editor as good as tibed. Something like amass modding didn't really happen. Or did it?? I know there are some mods out there. But they are mainly created to have some trolling action in the game itself. Which is one of the 3 main reasons why I strayed away from TS. No guidance or whatsoever with the implemented statistics of the units, only free wins for the ones creating the mods. Aka, wasted time for others. A real modder will watch from the sidelines and keeps modifying the game. The single player mission games are the best in this regard. Here you get to play against ai for fun. I like those. By the way. Where did your idea come from that this topic was a "forcing the game (or more specific TS) to change" topic? That... was never my intention. I said before what my goal was with the topic. I also still don't understand why it was moved to the TS section. Was it really just because I started with the hoover MRLS? What if I decided to start with an unit from another game?

With all respect. That topic asks only things that should not be changed. Of course people are posting suggestions of what should be changed. Which imho is ok. But there is also a fight going on in there about the topic title and that there should not be any suggestions. And some want to even close it already. So I think that this topic is a bit more mature for now. How to make the game even work? I mean, if they keep the basics the same. What could make it work so that (new) players will play it?
