Re: Dome Tech Revamp

I've uploaded a new version, in it I slow down planes and make them slow down even further when idling, I've also very slightly decreased longbow anti-air so as to a longbow could not 1 shot a yak https://resource.openra.net/maps/39990/ I will update the post when and if I get some testing done.

Re: tips and tricks for RA?

strongest boost I found is to use scout aircraft whenever possible for doing anything That's a pretty bad advice. The strongest unit in OpenRA is the rocket soldier, it has huge dps for its cost. It is countered best by riflemen, but both riflemen and rocket soldiers have little heath and little vi...

Re: Dome Tech Revamp

There's still time left to get this into the next playtest I wish someone picked this up. As I wrote in the opening post I'm unable to. I'm currertly serving my mandatory military service so I won't be able to do anything in the coming months. Because of corona I basically never get to go home. (I ...

Re: Dome Tech Revamp

Artillery doesnt need such an insane buff. Infact, currently its in a spot where its performing its intended function precisely, as to im baffled why its still being tweaked when its already perfect. I'm not convinced that it's perfect, I see many top players shy away from using arties whenever pos...

Re: Dome Tech Revamp

Artillery Weapon range from 12 cells to 9 (change it to 8? same for v2?) They still need to outrange static defences. IIRC Tesla coil has 7.5, and outranging it only by 0.5 cells isn't enough V2 Rocket Launcher Movement speed from 85 to 98 Reload delay from 240 to 150 I dont know, its easy already ...

Dome Tech Revamp

For a long while I've been contemplating why dome tech feels so unreliable, and uncomforable to wield. I think I found out why. These units are too explosive, they die or kill too easily, and aren't as robust as infantry and tanks. So here are the changes I'm proposing to address it Artillery Turn s...

Re: Updating RA Official Map Pool

My personal favourites would probably be, Marigold Town , I really like its balance between turtle and aggressive play. Blitz , there's something special about the map, when playing it, it feels perfect. This ragl season I really enjoyed Sonora . I also quite like playing on Compact Earth And from t...

Updating RA Official Map Pool

Official map pool has not been updated for a few years, and I think it's time to start rotating it once again. I'm creating this post for exact map suggestions. What maps should be removed and what should be added? What are the most popular maps currently played and what are the modern classics? And...

Re: RAGL through the seasons

Perhaps less heavy tanks are queued because they take longer to build -> you build less of them

Re: Future of RAGL

I think this season was the best in terms of masters league, but minions seemed like a complete mess. Afaik it lacked administration and rules were completely ignored. Most people haven't finished all their matches, and they weren't even punished for it. Players were pretty much left to deal with is...

Re: RAGL through the seasons

It would be quite interesting to see in how many games tech play mattered. One way to do that I think would be to see how long did it take to win after building a dome / tech centre, and probably a separate graph for losses. Graph could probably show how many games were played without tech, how many...

Re: Less micro more strategy

I understand where you are coming from, but that is a misleading way to look at RTS. There's always a balance to be struck. It's never black and white. Just because a feature reduces the need for quick reaction time or babysitting it doesn't mean that its disadvantages don't have to be considered. M...

Re: server for newbie, or rating on online game

I can recommend a few things, first is to try an learn a build order. Macro in ora ra is fairly simple and straight forward, once you get that going you will do much better ingame. I can recommend openra academy discord for specifics, it's a welcoming environment. And about toxicity, I'm not sure ho...
