The first game between Bain and I on Aqueduct for the the minor finals was an amazing one. I'm sure he's sent the replay across to you by now.

Many people have already made great points, such as suggestions with RA2, feel like RA1, and the 1000s of hours balancing. What I’ll add is: - consider implementing Esports into it. OpenRA with RAGL and tournaments have been fun to observe as spectators and be a part of. Esports is a growing trend s...

Where do maps get decided whether they get added to the next map pool or not? I've seen my 6 player map take off and it seems to be popular: https://resource.openra.net/maps/25163/ I think what's made this one nice is the replayability aspect as it allows for 6+ spawn configurations: 1. FFA 2. Left ...

Refinery sell cost was reduced, because producing refinery gives you refinery and an ore truck, but with the sell giving back full 50% of its cost it meant you just have an ore truck for free. This skews the lategame where you use free building production queue to build up economy as it's both chea...

What if you gave the hijacker a 10 cell radius of seeing nearby moving vehicles? This would allow them to choose their prey more easily. On the flip side, it may negatively be used for scouting armies if all they see are moving tanks. So this mechanism would need to be worked out and balanced. I thi...

Action packed game like you love them, with some bonuses on a new promising map. https://www.gamereplays.org/openra/replays.php?game=92&show=details&id=333249 Good stuff, added to the list! In other news, this week's cast is a lesson on how to reverse-engineer Demo Trucks! Presenting: BigBadBain ve...

I think you'll love this game. Seeing as you didn't find a way to upload the game, I took matters into my own hands and casted another game of yours instead ;) EkMO9wxaSck Mo versus [bracket], a fun match with lots of action straight out the gate! Thanks to all those who found the time to tune in f...

I think you'll love this game. More iterations to the map, I've made separate layouts but the game on this with the central tesla version is quite open and shows spaces for comebacks. Frustrating not to see some chances be taken but a fun game nonetheless. It's a playtest game so it won't let me sha...

Clear winner, but a dynamic game nonetheless.

Recently brought this up in the discord chat, how do we go about introducing the Silo again without making it game breaking, boring, or snowballing for the losing player? The refs as they are placed everywhere take up a lot of the cash storage, making silos useless. What experiments could be run to ...

Some points I'm not yet sure about are: - limiting to only one map per category per mod for the author (target is all-mods contest, so this is one way of encouraging different mods maps and limiting the RA mod maps; but at the same time it might limit the roster all too much) - up to 3 revisions pe...

Hey FiveAces, This FFA game between some decent players resulted in a "which way will it go" sort of arrangement. It's got allies, 1 soviet player, nukes, naval barrages (which makes me think cruisers should stay as they are), and high tech shenanigans. Fun game to watch regardless: https://www.game...

Credit to SoScared for making a map that breaks your usual eco expanding meta build. Although Orb does this by default anyway. High tech game between myself and "not barf" with an atom bomb going off and high tech parcel delivery services. Enjoy: https://www.gamereplays.org/openra/replays.php?game=9...

Another 2v2 for you.

Currently i think we have enough maps atm unless something truly unique or different comes along. The problem with the truly unique map, they need to be tested in order to reveal their unicity and their potential and from what i have seen right now, if you are a bit different of the "classic maps" ...
