OpenRA

Zoidberg plays OpenRA everyday and wants to make this happen. 1) I buy a server through a hosting company and pass along the details to an admin https://www.godaddy.com/pro/managed-vps Would something like this work? 2) Somebody provides me with details on how to contribute to the cost of an existin...

Let's rephrase that:
"What kind of delay in releasing new features/balancing would be required to make OpenRA into a modular application?"

So I was thinking about some of the most awkward/funny moments that I've experienced playing OpenRA.

- Teammate who refused to build combat units. He just built ore trucks.

- Teammates who decided to attack each other after bickering for a bit.

I enjoy it.

14 inch laptop screen (1440) or a 23 inch monitor (1920)

I have tried the dual monitor deal, but the game barely works...

I don't recall seeing too many arty rushes these days. They're not terribly fast, maneuverable, or tough. There's the issue of them blowing up in groups too. You also have to keep a pile of support units nearby to ensure they aren't quickly wiped out. When two allied players rely solely on building ...

HOT DAMN!

Is there an OpenRA knowledge base?

I'm guilty of bailing too early on a game from time to time. It's usually for one of three reasons: 1) The craptastic nature of my day (let's say I lost a big sale) catches up with me at 10:00 pm. After having my MCV knocked out or whatever, enough is enough and it's time to call it a day. GG --> ES...

That sounds reasonable. Anybody else?

While I'm fond of moving Flamethrowers down the tech tree, I'll support Persian's suggestion of upping the allied pillbox. It's a good idea and everybody seems ok with it. Brilliant! What's next? I see the Github links, but I'm not clear on what the process is from there. Is there anything I can do ...

Cool!

These types of players are usually one trick ponies who push all their resources to the front and leave wide open holes in the back of their bases. A few well-placed demo trucks do wonders to deter basewalkers. Using an iron curtain with 5 mammoths is a nice way to take out the AA's so your yaks can...

Yes - I often lose matches. That's what keeps me coming back for more! I guess you can post the replay if you want?

I will send $20 to the first person who cripples PersianImmortal with an early game flamerush and posts the replay.
