Play 1v1 get good, stomp everyone in teamgames solo 3v1 and all that, everyone will want to be your friend :) The OP is arguing that many people will never get to that stage. They just will not have the desire to continue playing. Also, I'm not sure that 1v1 is even a good idea for many new players...

I think a code of conduct for games off the master server might be a good idea. You never know, the mere existence of such a code may produce better behaviour regardless of any enforcement. If any players are really trashing on newbies then yes, it arguably isn't good for the long-term growth of the...

You mean someone that has a vendetta against you personally? Someone that attacks the other team? Someone that attacks their team mates? Fall outs between team mates aren't that uncommon, but it's still only an occasional thing. Worst player I have seen would be "pinkman" who used to regularly attac...

Engi capture of a barracks

Assuming that your enemy only has 1 barracks, what are the results of trying to capture it? So the engi is locked on, and in the process of capturing it.

Can troops still come out of the barracks?

Can you still produce a pill box, when the barracks are normally needed for production of such things?

Yeah I would say the Chrono shouldn't go off if there is nothing selected. However, I don't see a problem with it failing if you try to jump to an area that is already occupied. You get a warning for that in the colour of the grid.

Iron Curtain Intentional Feature or Bug?

When you try to iron curtain something close to being destroyed, and you use it around the moment of your units destruction, the iron curtain is still used up without any benefit.

Intentional feature or bug?

it would also be annoying to utilize, hard to code and still random to deploy in battlefield The "random to deploy in battlefield" would be another reason it wouldn't be especially powerful. You could lose them all to AA if the plane comes from the wrong direction. Why do you think it would be anno...

Do hijackers work as a counter? The only other counter would be to Chrono them out of there, which probably soon becomes impossible as they spread out. And you can iron curtain to defend but that will only protect a small amount of your base. You could maybe make the argument that if the other team ...

Paradrops are quite effective at harassing distant unprotected structures and supply chains. Two rockets there can easily kill several ore trucks while you keep your opponent occupied. At the same time they can do the opposite - distract the enemy for a period of time and even lure his forces out o...

Old players will remember that the behaviour used to be like this and it was deliberately changed because people complained that engis, etc were also selected and moved. Seems to me like the devs can't make everyone happy. Instead of nagging and requesting stupid changes constantly, why not let the...

They tend to be an annoying distraction, and that may be useful if you have other plans at the same time. They can also be used alongside other attacks, so they probably will not kill a nuke by themselves, but if they could maybe do a little bit of damage before they are killed, and then you combine...

I did try dogs in an iron curtained APC one time. So unload in the midst of enemy troops when they are all targeting the APC. You may get a few kills but it's quite a bit of effort to go to.

They are glitchy, but it can still be satisfying to wipe out 20 enemy troops with 1 dog. You may need a little luck for it to work, but still.
