Nothing wrong with variety but it was decided that it wasn't actually very good so it was removed.

1. The width and height of your chrome2.png both need to be powers of 2. Try resizing it to 1024x512.

2. Yes. Have a look at mod.yaml.

3. In C&C production is handled differently. Production traits are defined on the building (ProductionQueue, rules/structures.yaml) instead of the player ...

Nope.

Out of interest: What range does tanya have? What range does a pillbox have?

Certainly pillbox are pretty useless against them.

Tanya's weapon range is 7 cells, pillbox is 6

Nope.

The shroud reveal range was increased from 4 cells to 5 cells, and the weapon range was increased from 3.5 cells to 6 cells.

Easy. You have duplicate Selectable definitions for your unit, as the error message says.

Selectable:
Bounds: 30,30
Selectable:
Bounds: 44,38

You need to remove one of them.

You'll need to post your unit definitions, and the crash log called exception.log: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/F ... st-crashed

I assume you don't know how to script maps at all yet, so start here:

Try something like the following (untested):
@echo off

set Name=Dedicated-Server
set Mod=ra
set Dedicated=True
set DedicatedLoop=True
set ListenPort=1234
set ExternalPort=1234
set AdvertiseOnline=True

Some thoughts:

You are not losing to artillery alone, but a combination of units which synergise really well together, but with the catch that this force is very expensive to buy.
Artillery is inferior to V2s in manoeuvrability, speed, burst damage and health (100 HP vs 200 HP), which makes V2 ...

You weren't kidding, power on!

What is the difference in terms of percentage or damage done or whatever?

Weapon range was increased from 3.5 cells to 6
Shroud reveal range was increased from 4 cells to 5

A good microing Soviet player is pretty nightmarish to deal with, speaking from personal experience.
The V2s are fast and manoeuvrable, with a high warhead damage. This can let them do hit-and-run attacks on base structures. This actually used to be a massive, game-crippling problem when a V2 did ...

Shock troopers had a considerable buff. I suggest revisiting them.

Gradually heals all of your infantry on the battlefield.

If I throw together a map with custom rules (with the goal of getting the rule changes into the next version of the game), will people test it?
