Re: TD Prototype Swiss Tournament

Nice one Doomsday. Count me and Lucy in - both random factions.I should be around, but Lucy may have to leave early. The details at the bottom of the image are unclear, so it took me a while to work out what time it's on. I suggest to repeat those details on prominent text below the image. Also, I d...

AoA, I'm opposed to your engineer changes for the following reasons: 1. IMO, your engineer is not in keeping with the primary OpenRA Development Goal as it does not "retain the feel and nostalgia of the older games": https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Development-Goals 2. Your engineer forces a c...

FiveAces, thanks for a great cast of a super match. It seems like your YT fans agree:

Yes, I had quite a thorough chat with Barf this evening. There is no animosity. Barf is content for FiveAces to decide if he wants to cast the replay.

FiveAces, if you do choose to cast it, then I suggest to use the comment-erased version linked above.

It's a great match with some clutch plays. Further, it's pertinent to the current discussion of macro vs micro. So I think it'd be a pity to deprive folk of it over a few silly comments. In case it's preferred, I've created a sanitised version devoid of comments (I replaced all comments with '...')....

Oh no! I just realised that the map had disappeared. Well, fear not, I re-uploaded it! It's both attached to this message and at the resource centre:
http://resource.openra.net/maps/21367/

I don't think the replay will disappoint and it'd be great if it did get the FiveAces 5-star cast treatment.

Hi vs Barf (France mirror)

Here's a great game from Hi vs Barf - a surrender-monkey (France) mirror! Barf played an aggressive meta style and Hi went for a tech turtle. It's on SoScared's v1.6b balance-test version of Sidestep. Here's the map: http://resource.openra.net/maps/21340/ Uploaded to GameReplays: https://www.gamerep...

AoA, as I've said to you many times, I, for one, am against your suggested changes to the engineer. It will result in a significant change to both the gameplay and the feel of the game. None of the TD players that I've spoken to want this (the majority were against it and a minority were indifferent...

Thank you to all those who participated in the poll, the discussion and the map selection. I'm happy to report that the new TD map pool has been approved:
https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/pull/13019

We can look forward to 75 maps that showcase the very best of the wider TD map pool.

A little carnage on Alpha Juno V

I was rooting for the underdog. TD represent! I was going to upload this replay to Game Replays (I uploaded a couple of others there), but they only accept release, not playtest. So here it is. A fun battle on Alpha Juno V, in which the obelisk targeting bug manifests (~13:10) and a heroic buggy kil...

I noticed there aren't any 5 player maps on the list, so I made one. :D http://resource.openra.net/maps/20162/ SoScared featured this on Monday's stream. You can see that game, followed by another two TD games here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/131598352?t=03h19m11s please give wider bridges, the 1...

Can somebody create a ticket on Github for this, with the maps listed in terms of add/remove/modify and links to the resource center as well as the UIDs? I see no reason why we couldn't take some or all of these changes for the next playtest so long as it delay it further (it is already a week late...
