Re: Why is OpenRA not more popular?

Any fan of ORA can organize tourneys, look for sponsors, stream on Twitch and Youtube, talk about it via Discord, etc. Also someone should take initiative and do marketing campaign(s), that would include planning like ...

Do we talk about OpenRA? There are no such bonuses for factions in OpenRA. Just forget original RA , here many things are different. If you want to see how good players play, check most recent games on these channels: https://www.youtube.com/@Blackeneds_Barracks/videos https://www.youtube.com/@Cover...

Re: Improving gameplay in OpenRA

Hi Robert. Do you talk about 1v1 or team games/FFAs? Yes, OpenRA is very flexible and you can put your balance in YAML file in new or existing map and play it. It's very easy. Otherwise, ORA community discuss a lot about gameplay. I personally run a lot discussions recently about ways to fix that in...

Problem: RA is very well competitively balanced but some people just don't like how it's play. Most of them are complaining things like: - Double Ref build order domination and lack of alternatives - Infantry and tanks (tier 1.5) domination (lack of units diversity) - Lack of Infantry vision - Nerfe...
