Yes we played some battles, didn't know you are Ed. :-) I made similar experiences when hosting with too many people: Slow gameplay. No connection losses, no "pauses" in game or invisible units, just everything is sloooooow. Reminds me more of chess than real time strategy. :-) 6 people are fine tho...

But there aren't that many hotkeys, are there? Lets list them: tab = queue order ctrl = force fire shift = add selection to group strg = assign a number to group backspace = jump to constr. yard space = jump to attacked point in base y/z = chance stances s = stop x = scatter a = attack move That's o...

Ah I see your point, partially. Did not even know you could switch downwards with tab. Is there a key to switch upwards, too? Well, i just checked and there are some keys (Y for example) which are used in both tabs. The question is, why? Is there a system behind this? There are about 20 buildings, b...

I think it's not a CPU-based problem in your case;
but just to make sure, why don't you host a game and check CPU usage on all cores and memory?

Hosting lags for me too, when there are more than 6 players.

I only got 4000 kbit/s, CPU is intel i5-750 @ 4x 4200 MHz.

Thats a good Idea Zypres. Another suggestion, might have been made already: When U use keyboard-shortcuts to build, this seems to work only when you selected the right category in the sidebar. F. e., when the defense-category is opened, pressing "p" to build a power plant does not work. It works onl...

Good work Mr. Earth. :-)

I don't think including a random chance in this case is a good idea.

That way, your strategy will depend on luck when you try to destroy enemy artys.

Plus, Artys already are so powerful, and this makes it even harder to counter attack them.
