OpenRA

The second installment of the Kautious Kup is nigh! a Red Alert tournament this Saturday (September 19th), starting at 4pm UTC.

It's free to enter and there's a cash prize for first place of 20 euro . It's really about taking part and having fun though.

How about giving hijackers 100% chance of evading a crush? If feasible, they'd then move out of the way for a harvester, but not be crushed by it.

Are you claiming that 'savagafrenchman' wasn't you?

Obvious sock puppet was obvious.

I expect the issue was that the AI became too advanced: they realised the futility of war and so stopped fighting.

What time?

Hi FiveAces!

Here's a game with a lot of juicy action between WhoCares!? and WIDOW.

Hope you enjoy,

Maybe it could be worth trying a cheaper MCV, but having only one production queue for structures, and still allowing multiple for units (if this hasn't been tried already)?

I was going to suggest this too. Let's try reverting to a $2000 MCV, but with only a single build queue for structures ...

@Gdave,
While it was the standard build order it was pretty well the only good build order in many cases.

Nah, other BOs were viable.


The power changes were indeed ment to nerf the quick vehicle openers. Some of the complaints about "Being risky opening with a factory" is essentially what I ...

Previously, this build order was viable:
pp(+100) ref(-50) rax(-20) wf(-30)
[power indicated in parentheses]

AoA, you said that gave you both structures too quickly. I disagree. That allowed for a more secure opener to games. It was the standard build order. It's far harder to (effectively) end a ...

AoA, that's a single 7-minute game on a map that:
- isn't available on the resource centre
- featured unspecified balance changes
- was 'chokey' [a poor test of whether APCs are OP given their manoeuvrability]
- was played by two players rarely seen online for months [so are less au fait with the ...

Hi FiveAces,

Here's an exciting 1v1 in TD:
https://www.gamereplays.org/openra/repl ... 0#10093573

GDI vs Nod

InsaneH (a.k.a. Han from RAGL Masters) vs BLACK ('Master at Lunch' in the replay).
Both competent players.

Back and forth. Fun match.

Regarding SEO:

Yep, we really need to work on SEO for www.openra.net. I realise that OpenRA is an engine, but if people struggle to find the mods/games that use the engine then they will struggle to find the engine itself.

I searched Google for a few obvious strings: 'command and conquer ...

Note that the poll is 'Should the game automatically end when all enemy players are gone?' not 'Should a players buildings and units be destroyed when they disconnect?'.

I suggest the latter is not desirable as during a team game it is already difficult enough to persist with a 2v3, 3v4, etc ...

Hi! Unfortunately, Lucy and I spent longer than planned up England's highest mountain, so we won't make it (we won't be back until almost 7pm UT), so please remove us from the pool. Apologies for the inconvenience.

I'll be eagerly watching the remaining games when home and perhaps I can join Ganon ...
