OpenRA

You should be careful not to improve derricks too much. Lots of derricks encourage turtling games instead of territory fighting games.

The D key allows you to order a unit to escort another unit. While this works with one unit, if you send many units to escrot a unit, they surround it and prevent it from moving. I think it would be cool if the "escort" function added a restriction that units must not be adjacent to the unit they ar...

Doesn't this seriously nerf the value of GPS? At least on small maps.

Another idea, sticking with my previous theme, building the radar dome allows you to do zoom out of 0.5x and 0.25x like one can currently only do in spectator mode.

A very chaotic battle in sidestep between me and chamberlain, which shows the importance of taking proper control of land.

Another option, maybe radar can give some information on what the enemy is doing, a la old spy?

Examples:
- What support powers are currently being prepared
- How much money does the enemy make per minute
- How much money does the enemy currently have
- How much power does the enemy currently have

Maybe something like SSH keys can be used? Let's say I play against fiveaces, and I know it's him, I tell OpenRA to do a key exchange with him. Next time that a user with the nick "fiveaces" is seen, the identity is checked and if fiveaces can't authenticate, I have a warning saying it's probably a ...

Here's a suggestion that I have for radar dome that will also affect this. Until radar dome is built, limit people to a viewport of 640x480 or 800x600, even if it means most of their screen is black (they can always zoom in if they want). Building radar dome unlocks full view port. If radar jammer d...

Forest path's lack of resources and chokepoints provide an unpredictable game

A silly hack can be that to just save a time value, and then start the game by running the replay and giving manual control back at the correct point in time.

There is a good and common secnario where you would want to shoot a phase transport or an airplane or tank or whatever. However, there are very few scenarios where you want rocket soldiers to shoot infantry. This is way in my example I only disabled targetting of infantry (armor class None), which y...

joo - or it can give a new role to artillery/v2, as they can fire over walls.

Sleipnir - and what about the idea of tanks serving as moving walls?

Also, once can improvize playtests of this by disabling allowed targets for some units, as I said above.

Tanya's rapid fire would require much more micro if it was constantly diverted into tanks where it barely damages them.
