Clan ladder would really get things going, in RA1 too. Today we have our first ladder prize of $50

Mr Holland, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the subject, something which this week I have been considering. I agree with almost all of what you said, but some readers might understand that playing the game will help them reclaim consciousness, which is false IMHO. I am arguing here that playing the game with an untrained mind creates more attachments, which lead to emotions and therefore losing consciousness. Because lets be fair here, the aim of the game is to win, which is inherently an ego attachment. That said, it is certainly a challenge for the more aware to not become emotionally attached to the game, be it losing, winning or anything else which reinforces the ego. Personally and recently, as I begin to better understand the words you write, I am more inclined to think that more time spent doing anapana or breathe awareness and less time in competition is the way forward. I argued this with my ultra competitive swimming friend last night, but he couldn't understand. He gave up meditating after 1 month, and instead believes that he IS his achievements. Since your mind creates your reality, to improve your reality you need to start with your mind. NDiaz

I vote no change! Pro comment super pro Croboys bro

Likewise great idea photon, thanks for putting the work in. I'd love to see my favourite childhood game take off into the egaming pro leagues. I'll help by testing the effectiveness of facebook ads, something I've done a lot with selling t-shirts. And anything else I can help with, let me know. -Diaz

Yeh fast fixes cheers Funky and team!

I'll help

Yeh some top guys were no doubt cheating like that, and d/c too. I mostly played path back in '97 for a year. Looking at Steeldart's ranking pic there, interesting to see Jjfjr at only 10 in the rankings with 9 losses, because he would go on to be 1 of the strongest ever according to Milo: "JJFjr proved himself to be better than everyone else still playing, beating me 8 to 1 in 1v1s and pretty much devastating the rest of the competition". But that was before cncnet came along, so wonder how he'd do now. Does he even know the game is back up and running?

Took me 3 hours to find the fan, gave it a clean and all's working fine now thanks! Dell vostro laptops are tough to clean!

Yeh there's lots of clans in RA, some of which aren't on the website. You don't need XWIS style clan organisation to make a clan official. It's just a group of players, sharing ideas, training each other and battling other clans.

Thanks for your message Funky, I'll give it a go.

Hey Funky and friends, how you doing? I've got a computer issue, if there's too much action in game e.g. too many units, the game lags (not in a jumpy way like connection lag, but a slow and smooth decrease in game speed). Do you know what I should be fixing? I have an intel core i3, 4gb ram, dell laptop standard graphics card. Is my computer just to slow :O Cheers Diaz

Thanks

Here's a link to my tank test for Germany, Spain, England and France: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BFbMSPfyYI I think it's clear to see that the countries are not the same. For example, France is firing at a different rate and England has the weakest tank. I've reproduced this a few times with the same results. Germany always wins.

Ok guys, I tried your suggestions but save still doesn't work. - The file doesn't have zero bytes after saving - The game isn't installed in program files - With admin permissions makes no difference It's not a big deal for me, I just use save as. But happy to help fix the bug...

Oh right cheers Allen! I'll give it try...

Thanks for the info Funky. So if all allied countries are the same in CNCNET, it must be that some maps have been altered. In my test, France visibly fired faster, but did less damage (using gold rush).

I've always had a problem saving in RAED. The save function never works, only the save as. So I have to rename the file and use save as each time I want to save.

Interesting stuff thanks! In that tank comparison table, France has the strongest tanks, so why does everyone prefer Germany? So I ran an AI test pitting England, France and Spain against Germany with 1 stationary medium tank each. Here's the results for damage done: 1. Germany 2. Spain 3. England 4. France So in first place is Germany! The German tank killed all of the others without dying. It's also arguable that Spain are the strongest, because when their tank was destroyed a man appeared and destroyed the German tank! This however seems to be random, because in multiple tests a man didn't always appear for Spain, and sometimes for England but never for Germany. I couldn't see a value to control this randomness in the .ini file, just either crewed or not. So in conclusion, it seems that the cncnet version has changed the tank values a bit, making Germany marginally the strongest for damage output. And as for damage output for each tank, the heavy tank comes out on top, followed by light then medium. But in a tank fight it's still unclear because there are a lot of variables to account for. Assuming an equal number of tanks (ignoring any build speed/economy advantage), when you factor in speed + splash damage + range + rate of fire + damage done per shot + durability, which tank is stronger? Is it even testable?
