OpenRA

This is how Dark Reign prevented base pushing: buildings were built on site, taking time to build whilst "under construction." During this construction phase, the building was vulnerable. (See screenshot.) Any change such as this would change the Red Alert mod so significantly that it could no longe...

Basepushing will always be a mechanic of the game unless OpenRA deviates drastically from the original Red Alert. Personally, I find my current tactics have often adopted a "take and hold" paradigm where an MCV follows up behind an attack to hold an objective (usually an ore point) once it is taken ...

Really appreciate the commentary on micro/macro, and what constitutes good or bad tactics, and also enjoy the insight into aspects of the OpenRA balancing compared to original RA. Will be watching the other channels l...
