OpenRA

The discussion around basepushing has been one of the most difficult and confusing subjects in relation to the stance changes. First off, I hope there's common ground here on the direction RA has taken regards to this specific subject the past year. With the previous release RA took a some very smal...

The experience so far is the targeting change has severely mushed RA's play style towards generic defensive army blobs as there's less reward in moving out to go for map control. In turn, creative play beyond the early game is discouraged as the aggressor can expect to be deflected. Kochevnik's RA C...

Monday stream, with ZXGanon and guests! Some good match action on the menu tonight mixed in with some experimental playtesting.

Tune in tonight from 19:00 CEST @ https://go.twitch.tv/zxganon_

As I recently mentioned on the map/mod thread the intention of making it easier to hunt down renegade MCVs was deliberate as to make cheap expansions more risky, which essentially was accomplished both in the playtest series and apparently reported in this thread. As an isolated feature it might slo...

Just an afterword on the MCV speed reduction being included despite concerns being brought up in this thread. What I came to learn, that which was experienced by the above with the reduction of the MCV speed mentioned in this thread wasn't derived out of this particular playtest series but rather ou...

If I understand it correctly the higher ranked player always gives away 2 points per loss but only grabs 1 per win.

That ranking system sounds simple, yet genius! The players on top does not get to race from the flock unless the performance is consistently on the A-game.

Nicely done!

I'm not sure if I'm baffled or amused by this situation. Stop guessing people's skill levels, let the league structure deal with that matter alone. If you follow this simple, basic principle you can carry the league through hell and fire. It's what allowed me to create the league out of nothing. Bre...

Btw the RAGL Season 3 Pitfight is also slightly edited beyond the original final revision. The corner forest paths are wider.

It's now about 20 years since the official mods' original games were released to the PC. With the current player activity in OpenRA I'm curious where people are coming.

@Smitty: I see your concerns but I don't share them. Not at all in fact. Please understand, as with every one of my past balance PRs, they're based on the experience with the map playtests - not opinions. The whole point of sampling vast amounts of mathces is to uncover potential pitfalls and to mak...

I can see that Milestones list is drying up fast. Made a quick PR to address the above asap.

If people want bring on higher values for the Artillery that's fine with me but this is as far as I'd feel comfortable with support.

my comment from Discord chat: "+20% damage rate vs WF/Con.Yard feels a bit like an overreach on vs wood 45. I understand your reasoning with regards to defending basepushing but imo it'd be worse boosting max.range artillery sieges as that topic finally dropped below boiling point with the last two ...

@netnazvul: No that's only with RevealOnFire. RevealOnDeath only relates to the unit that's killed.
