Re: Suggestion for AI.

Yes, that's what I mostly meant by "core stuff". There are a lot of possibilities to program the AI, and more become available with each release, but there is no active "frontend" developer to actually use it and improve AI in official mods; if current devs also try to cover this, they would be too ...

Re: Suggestion for AI.

The problem is not that developers don't know what AI does or does not that will make it better otherwise. The problem is noone is really working on AI at all, apart from some core stuff and minor refurbishments. So the realistic way of something to be done about it is someone (i.e. you) taking over...

Re: Experimental Balance Patch nnb1901

Yes, I think with GPS frozen actor disappears when building is destroyed; I think we need to draw glyphs over ALL buildings, both scouted and unscouted, so that for destroyed frozen actor just the glyph is removed, but the actor itself stays. Artillery changes are introduced to make it more viable v...

Experimental Balance Patch nnb1901

So, I got ahead and combined Orb's latest balance tweaks and some other ideas grown from the resent playtest session and here is the result: v1901: - MT: Cost 850->950, +Health - LT: Cost 700->750, Vision 5c->6c - Hind: Cost 1350->1500, Vision 10c->11c - Arty: +Accuracy, -AOE, -Projectile Speed, -Da...

Re: End of 2018 RA balance changes

Well, even better idea for MGGs to consider (as pointed out by one of Discord members) is to get a piece of code from SoScared and make MGGs ability a toggle.

Re: End of 2018 RA balance changes

It's not heresy rather than another attempt to fix MGG (usual GG as well btw) behaviour in place to account for Fog of War, because it is a bit silly to have Explored Map option and Fog of war in the game, but Gap generators still exhibiting shroud instead, making it obvious for opponents that there...

Re: End of 2018 RA balance changes

Another pack of suggestions for allies: - Mobile Gap Generator generating fog instead of shroud, thus not explicitly revealing itself on the map when explored map is enabled; maybe considering adding yet another cell of enemy units vision reduction, at least for far-seeing units; - a slight buff to ...

Re: End of 2018 RA balance changes

Ok, some feedback regarding the new game state as well as the overall stuff: - Mammonth tanks are much more potent now, to the point that they might be quite hard to stop by Allies even; we thought that reducing their rockets weapon range at least by 1 cell is to be done - consider buffing Migs by d...

Re: Send me your replays and I'll cast them!

Ok, here is one game from the new pre-playtest.

Re: Red Alert Global League: Season 7 - Rulebook

New stuff TL;DR:
- Recruits might be back if there are tons of new signups
- If Minions 1st is tied on points, all tiebreakers are skipped in favour of Best-of-3 rematch
- Rounds are not listed, so replay naming is a bit different (easier)
- Player is able to ban up to 1 map from his opponent's pick
