I don't think there is a limit technically ??

Probably becomes laggy with too much players units (remember the God Divide days ... )

#2 #3 I just think someone else was copy-pasting dzine's messages, not dzine himself. Very easy to take anyone's name, with current lobby system :) No need for flame wars guys ^_^ just ignore what you don't like. Anyone has right to express his ideas. And if it gets spammy / repetitive, just remove...

Hmmm actually maybe a whole tutorials series, "professional style" ^_^, which could be uploaded at the OpenRA YT channel - Level 0a : Basics / Fundamentals - Level 0b : Never. Do. This. Please. (I still see people building Radar before anything else ...with only 1 harvester ... and staying on low po...

futher still 'Advanced video tutorials, tactics and strategies. I agree to this. Showing this from MP game replays, in real situation. This (https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/The-New-Player's-Guide-to-OpenRA ) already helped me back in time, but yeah having specific videos focusing on particula...

Give it a newsfeed, maybe in a theatre-of-war style (I would totally get behind helping out with writing bulletins for the feed if you'd need a hand) I vote for Comrade FiveAces as the Reporting-Commander-in-Chief :D You have good writing / casting skills. (this one was fun ^_^ https://www.youtube....

While I think you guys make some good points, they are out of scope of the marketingplan. They're about enhancing OpenRA and making users stick to the game. Please let's focus on how to reach people :) True. Maybe needs a new Github issue, or a new post here. However, you were talking about timing ...

Great software generally attracts and retains a great deal of people Not necessarily :). The opposite would be true (Bad software doesn't keep users), but a good software can still remain unknown / unused for several other reasons. Thus this topic. Your message is too general (too much big principl...

Music awesomeness Also I really dislike the default lobby music of RA (of all mods actually :p ) (no offense ^_^). "Hell March" as a lobby music for RA (or others) would be better IMO (maybe that's personal preference :/ ) Comparing to Generals ZH lobby music for instance : https://www.youtube.com/...

Graphical awesomeness OpenRA casters already put nice efforts into the visual impact of their casts / videos (for instance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueosN-JFqG0) More in-game awesomeness needed ? (layout ? It's all good and nice right now, but maybe lacks the "wow effect" intro cinematics ? R...

Some points to think about Player identity : I like the previous idea of a more customizable profile (name, avatar, bio, etc ... ) not necessarily linked to a competitive ladder. Could be linked to other info (YT / Twitch channel ? website ? etc ... ) But if the player wants competion, then he can g...

As someone said before OpenRA needs tutorials. I don't have much time to play games. Therefore I want to start right away and have fun. However it is frustrating if you don't know how to play the game and have to go by trial and error or have to read wiki articles online. Small tutorial missions wh...
