Insanely time and resource efficient tactics have no place in a well-balanced game.

This tactic appears to still be in use.... I had a player who rolled a heavy tank in front of my war factory, let it be destroyed, then block off my production until the game ended.

I'm totally down with nerfing the Shock Troopers. Those things are too powerful as-is. I sent in 5 Iron Curtained APCs filled with Shock Troopers and put a huge hole in the middle of Chamberlain's base a few nights ago. Chamberlain had plenty of units to pick off the Shock Troopers, but it didn't st...

Rushing 5 Grenadiers at the beginning of matches seems to have fallen out of favor lately. Hell, I haven't seen an early game flame rush in the last 6-8 weeks.

Flat 2D or 3D with Hills & Valleys?

I'm like 99% sure that OpenRA is a 2D environment without any firing range advantages given to units with the high ground. Is this the case?

It seems like the mechanics of a "layered" OpenRA game would be both really neat and quite a b*tch to implement. Has this topic ever come up in the past?

Were you building walls? There seems to be a consensus that building a concrete wall will lag a game. I'm not sure if that's a legit thing, but it seems to be widely accepted at the moment.

Watch the replay posted earlier in this thread. Several players discuss how Schef gives out people's positions after he loses a match, acts selfishly, stacks teams in his favor, and enjoys messing with other players. When accusations of lagging games and changing his username so other players are tr...

You're not the only player who builds as many nukes as possible on that map. It just so happens that you're the most recent :)

Judging from the replay and this thread, It seems like that you've earned a bad rep on here. I don't see too many players coming to your defense. What's the deal?

Schefmonstah, you're a good player (quite possibly better than I am). I lose tons of matches. However, you just validated what I said scummy behavior.
