Re: Red Alert Global League: Season 6 - Post-Season Discussion

It is a double-edged sword - on the one side it does punish people for having busier RL schedule and also discourages fairplay in helping out opponents from receiving strikes for a failed contact (though the latter is debatable in itself). On the other side, it is only a minor tiebreaker that won't ...

Re: Red Alert Global League: Season 6 - Post-Season Discussion

Some additions for S07 that are considered: 1. Each player can ban up to 1 map from his opponent's pick. So before player A considers picking maps, player B may exclude one map he dislikes from the pool; same for the 2nd game. This is at the discretion of players, player can choose not to ban any ma...

Re: feature request: non-visual batch-operated balancing-test.

Yeah, I once asked about something like this when diving through infinite layers of YAML trait inheritance. Though I suspect such a GUI won't be a trivial one to make, but doable, just takes quite a huge amount of time.

exactly. So checking for license won't help, cause it only covers PLAYING the game, not modifying/altering its contents.

Re: Red Alert Global League: Season 6 - Post-Season Discussion

I think a map pool should endeavor to have a list of categories filled ...and I agree with this notion. The latest map pool was in a way an attempt to follow with this point. One potential problem I see with map pick for the next season is that there was more or less a single active mapmaker (N/a) ...

Re: feature request: non-visual batch-operated balancing-test.

the game is not balanced. with every team having the same AI setting, the Allies usually win, the Soviets usually lose. this also might be (and definitely is) the problem with poor AI and how it uses units, not with the game balance. Such testing doesn't really give you any useful info on balancing...

Re: Starcraft - Brood War mod

why would you need a StarCraft: Remastered, if SC:BW original is free and is actually more fitting here?

Re: End of 2018 RA balance changes

What about other balance test maps that we could play on playtest? Regarding Artillery.

Re: Playtest-20190106 - Discussion

Changes to actors frozen under fog ...have actually no relation to what you describe as there were changes to frozen actors (buildings), whereas moving units disappearing into FoW are still to be fixed. Though that might take some tweaks around still as it's a long-standing can of bugs. Also Thief ...

Re: Playtest-20190106 - Discussion

Soldiers are now hidden inside FoW (Fog of War) This is not a bug rather a bug fix, units shouldn't be able to know what is under fow I had some similar issue I think - I ordered Yak to attack some rocket soldiers explicitly, those soldiers briefly got into FoW, and then Yak completely ignored anyt...

Re: Playtest-20190106 - Discussion

I'm still testing but I was curious, when might the NE \\ SE ocean bridge tiles be added? thought I saw them on discord a long time ago but after checking still don't see them in the map editor. At present ocean bridges can only go NW // SE limiting map making somewhat (if you care about symmetry)....

Re: End of 2018 RA balance changes

Cap time reduction isn't desirable as it is already feasible to sneak engineers into a Barf base (RAGL Champion). What if we reduce the cap time [to 5 sec], but also introduce a "building is being captured" sound warning? Btw, as the discussion goes, I'd suggest slightly increasing dog's health as ...

Re: End of 2018 RA balance changes

@Smitty hijackers' speed should be reduced now (at the moment they are same speed as Medium Tanks on the road), say to 75-80 at least down from 85, and maybe its cost increased to $600 from $500. One other interesting solution may be to introduce the same cap delay as engineer, for 1 second instead ...
