The test build with vetted infantry and a cooldown of 5 minutes is a good spot for paratroopers.

I’ll play devil’s advocate here. Wasn’t there just recently a really entertaining game on 5a’s channel that featured incessant base pushing by one player and heavy reliance on V2 spam by the other? ;) The two play styles we tend to complain about most? Who's complaining about v2 spam? I'm a...

Until people can decide on what the issue actually is, testing solutions should be put on hold; its obvious that there isn't only one opinion here. Bingo. There a so many balance issues and directions this game can go. Lucassss brought up a good point that shouldn't go unnoticed. Name a map where 1...

Does he have a faster build up than you? Are you starting off with a good economy? You could try a demo truck if you know it's coming. Or try Tanya. But mostly I suspect you need to improve your economy and production of units. All of these posts contain good advice, but zinc, you may be digging at...

Your best bet is to deny him getting to that level tech.

Other than that Artillery, Hinds, Tanya, phase transports for allies and for soviets, yaks, and tanks with IC, and nuke trucks.

Here's my thoughts on some of the changes: I think France is viable with the gap gen changes. Mobile gaps definitely help both base push and prevent them. It would be interesting to see a base push scenario with both teams utilizing gaps. It might be feasible to have infantry effected as well. Espec...

LATE SEASON HYPE!


Also if I get 1 point or Raymundo gets <2 I secure 3rd. If I get 0 and Raymundo gets 2 it will go to a best of 5 between us.

maybe give sandbags like a 15% armor bonus for buildings if they surround 3/4 of it?

Also maybe start a running thread here or post threads in the ORA subreddit. Even though I followed you on twitch I never seem to get the gone live message.

As I understand it. Camo pils aren't really the problem as it's just regular pil spam that kills the game. Also camo's got a nerf of less hp with the recent patch. As to what zinc is talking about with an indirect buff, I believe it had something to do with the way the camo (and even then if iirc it...

Here's a silly idea, would it change anything if base defenses had increased power draw but also went offline when power was low(like Tesla and AA currently do)? Sure base pushing is still going to be a thing but now power plays a bigger role in it. Right now as allies when you base push you can use...

TD doesn't suffer from this issue. It's defences have a very long build time but are still potent enough to be useful. I think TD doesn't suffer the same issue in part because of the build time, in part because of less potent structures, but also because army mobility is much higher in TD than in RA.
