Re: RAGL Season 5 Post Season Discussion

Definite way to identify 3rd party macro use: Their APM spikes from 20-30 to 50+ in a second. I'm not sure this is as definite as you think it is. I've run some of my own tests and I can easily spike my apm by holding down a single build key. Spamming click orders can further increase that. Therefo...

Re: RAGL Season 5 Post Season Discussion

I agree with Smitty that macros are advantageous and go against the spirit of the competitive scene, however I also agree with WhoCares that any attempt to outright ban macro use would result in witch hunts and spiral out of control. If Smitty, Whocares, or whoever can come up with a definite way to...

Re: RAGL Season 5 Post Season Discussion

netnazgul already replied and addressed many of the same points but I'll leave mine up just in case they help expound further details. 1. Separate website is inconvenient. 2. Poor advertising. I think both of these are the same. The Website was created when it became clear the old forums were going ...

I wanted to share some thoughts on this outside of the game. LT: Cost 850, +HP, +Vision, +Heavy Damage, -Light Damage I'm mostly okay with this though I do have my reservations about it. MT: Cost 1000, +HP, +Damage Same as above. Arty: Cost 900, +Health, +Accuracy, +Turn Rate, -Reload Speed, -Projec...

I agree with net, Eskimo, whocares, and mo. 1) there isn't a specific type of map we need more of. small, medium, large, huge, chokey, high eco, low eco, naval, etc. New maps bring in a wave of fresh air. Sidestep is a great map but I'm happy not having to play that map for a long time. Not every ma...

I mean the wikia says they were modified dump trucks to gather the resources. There are a few irl samples that look just like ore trucks without the scoop in the front.

Just adding another random thought too.. instead of assuming the Hind would get unlocked at tier 2 with a radar dome for Soviets as it currently is for Allies, for balancing would it help at all to push it back to tier 3 and require a tech center? Out of curiosity is that how it was in the original...

Like zinc said in Openra allies have the superior airforce. Hinds are better than yaks and longbows are much better than Migs. But that isn't to say that Soviets are at a complete disadvantage there. Both Yaks and Migs can do things that the allied player can't. Asymmetry is good, but there is a tip...
