OpenRA

Some people seem to object to starting the game with 10k money or starting with forces.

Is there a reason that 5k makes for better games?

It may be easier to do an early game "rush" on opponents with the larger amount, but they have the same money to build troops/base defences.

Is the nuke power (how much damage is done by a nuke) in Open RA identical with the original command and conquer game? It seems to be much more powerful than the nukes in the actual red alert game, and more like the original.

Click on it.

Write fast and press "enter" fast.

It's a little tricky and can take a few attempts.

Hope that helps.

What would be really helpful is if you could re-test to confirm this, instead of just being "pretty sure" on the matter. That bein...

You do know that with command and conquer you can play either side? So I could just as easily say that C&C Red Alert is about fighting for commun...

You can connect to hetzner servers directly by connection to openra.dxnet.ru, port 1230 (hetzner_0), port 1233 (Hetzner_3) etc.

that crashes the game for me.

And it's down again...

Muting speech on a game is not a "free speech" issue!

I think it would be nice to be able to shut up (or mute) spectators at least.

Maybe you should also be able to speak privately to team mates?

I wann play tiberian origins now.

same here:

"failed to connect to master server"

Couple of questions:

Can spectators slow down the game?

Is there any way to block spectators, (other than kicking them all) or block them from speaking? (They can provide information that can distort the game.)
