Re: 2018 RA Balance

Agree with what you say about the Flak Truck. I dont really know why, maybe the thought was since allies can steal money with thief, give soviets an different type of 'thief' unit, that would steal vehicles instead. However zorro wasnt even in the last time ive checked. Lol he really does look like...

Re:

I'm all for the hijacker, and he's a nice counterpoint to the mechanic for soviets. Yes he's bugged, but it's pretty easy to nab an ore truck if you time the hijacker's approach for when the truck pauses to scoop up ore. Gaining two ore trucks while your opponent loses two is pretty significant. Th...

lol I'm trying to resist the urge but I have to ask... why is the hijacker in the game? It seems to be barely used, it's broken, it's not from the original game, it wasn't like it was even a cool unit in TIberian Sun (and at least that one was a "mutant" not the goofy thief sprite). Is the hijacker ...

I like your and JOo's ideas. I know RA2 had World Domination mode (as seen in the screenshot I posted above) and it was a lot of fun back in the day. Have you guys played it before? As a point of reference I will try to remember exactly how it worked. I think there would be a map of a continent, and...

I guess it was to just add a level of detail to the game. They are unnecessary from a gameplay perspective, but you would have non-combat units working in a real conflict. True.. it's just a silly thing I guess.. the best use of them is to send them at the enemy base as scouts, except their sight r...

What is the point of the Technician?

Why does the Technician exist? Why did Westwood feel the need to bother putting them in the game? I think you only really encounter them when you sell a building.. I mean it's hilarious to see them run around in a panic I guess... I understand that they shouldn't really have a combat role.. but inst...

. As a non-pro, I don't want to make any suggestions that upset the dedicated players and pros who are happy with the way TD works. huh? thats a different stance you have compared to the RA discussions? Considering Barf has been the consistent second best player in RA for a good year and a bit now....

Thats because it has a multiple queue system then compared to RA. MCVs at the price of 2k were spammed beyond believe and built incredibly fast that it was hard to stop. The price currently remains at 3500$ because it hasn't been tested enough with team games. Switching back to classic-style produc...

Re: 2018 RA Balance

Hi guys, I was a long time player who stopped playing OpenRA for some months, so I've skipped some updates. Now that I'm back, I first want to congratulate with the devs for the current faction balance, I see a lot more variety of units used with different play styles, so... thumb up! There is anyw...

From my experience there is no issues/danger of running 2 instances of the client. Before we could view the server list from in lobby, it used to be the only way to see if any other games had opened up without giving up your spot in the current lobby. A lot of people I've encountered also like to ru...
