Re: Send me your replays and I'll cast them!

I would if I could, but I stopped speccing after lagging once and watched the stream instead. Maybe JSG or another participant will see this and won't mind sharing them with you.

Thanks for all the RA content you do, I'm a huge fan!

Re: Send me your replays and I'll cast them!

Looked like some good 2v2 and 3v3 games with Just Some Guy, Stitch, Fazzar, Time, Widow and DonB. One in particular had a great early game but I got kicked for lagging, which was deeply unfortunate! It was on JSG's twitch but only from his pov. Perhaps you could get hold of the replay files?

Re: Replace name faction "Russia" with another variant

Pun, you need to realise 'our side' lies and manufactures consent too. Once you work that out, you'll eventually go down the same rabbit hole I did. It's disturbing and upsetting, but knowing the truth is better than being a programmed robot of the Western regime. This war hysteria they've whipped u...

Re: Replace name faction "Russia" with another variant

The elected Ukraine govt was pro-Russian, yes, or at least not sufficiently pro-Western to sign a trade deal with the EU which would have tied it into the Western bloc. That government was overthrown in a US- and EU-backed putsch in 2014, at the forefront of which were neo-Nazi militias. It was repl...

Re: Replace name faction "Russia" with another variant

We don't need to - and I would say shouldn't - defend NATO and the way NATO powers have behaved, and continue to behave, in order to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It's a red herring, so to speak. The way America, in particular, behaves is little or no better than how Russia has recently sta...

Re: Replace name faction "Russia" with another variant

That would achieve one thing, and one thing only: annoying OpenRA players and dividing the community. Not worth.

Re: How many AIs = 1 human?

That does make sense. I suspected it might not be comparable in that way.

How many AIs = 1 human?

Hi all, I am no gamer, but I like a few games, and this is one of them. I watch the casts and envy the players on the OpenRA scene, who are evidently much better than me in every way. How good would I have to get before I could stand against them? I play against teams of AIs recreationally, and 4 or...

Infiltration mission bug

Playing the latest playtest version, I think I found a bug in the Infiltration bonus mission. After killing all the guards around the tech centre, the timer kept counting down to zero and the mission failed. Based on playthroughs I've seen the timer is supposed to stop when you kill the guards withi...

Re: Controlled Burn

Ok, well, I managed to win this sucker. A combination of the advice to be proactive about scouting, and probably a bit of luck! So clearly it wasn't "unwinnable". But boy that took a lot of tries to get right! Thanks again to those who replied.

Re: Controlled Burn

Thanks. I tried what you suggested but still can't manage it. I lasted 40 minutes most recently but the Soviets grind me down eventually, even with two or three stolen Mammoth tanks and a Longbow for V-2 killing. The attacks are too overwhelming: heavies, Mammoths, Teslas, Yaks and Migs, flamethrowe...

Controlled Burn

Hi everyone. First of all, I greatly appreciate the OpenRA project bringing new life to one of my favourite childhood games, all for free, so thanks to all who are involved. I have just downloaded the newest playtest version and have been enjoying the new missions. I have a question about one of the...
