Attacker(s) vs Defender (x1) map. How to help.

Ages ago there was a cool map where there was 1 defender with loads of prebuilt & assigned structures & units vs attackers (who started with nothing). I dont have that map anymore but would like to make one. My question is how to. How do I give one player buildings and units?? If anyone has a map li...

I'd say GPS is a bit of a ridiculous advantage to have in a strategy game. I'd say a suitable compromise would be to make it like spy plane or have it cyclical (like a spy satellite)

Cool, it's pretty annoying, otherwise I'd leave game on in background

Me? I've had loads & rarely stick with any for very long, perhaps I should choose one. Recently its been Tits McGee, John El Chimpo and some others. My rl initials spell APE so I often choose monkey themed names :)

Artillery was only recently changed (less range so less powerful). Mess with it further and you will have a different game. It's an advantage of allies yes. If you took it away what would the game be like?? Also if you play more open maps then artillery is less important to the game. So if you want...

Waypoints for RA would be nice (unless it exists and I don't know!)

Buff detection range, range in general of dogs. Soviets have weak specials so a mini buff would not hurt.

There are numbers actually. In the rules folder of the game file you can see the attributes of the units/structures. Just be careful when comparing because while numbers are good to look at its about the action in the game as well. No I mean numbers (%) of wins playing allies vs soviets. Across hun...

re: allied arty, i'd give flak trucks a bit of a buff so you can better disrupt the hinds and infantry.Perhaps to the range (of sight & attack). That and/or giving dogs more tank so they can break up infantry blobs. Other options might be to buff apc somehow, perhaps more tank. You talk about yak su...

I should say I usually play soviets but when I switch to allies I am stunned at how much easier it is. Against MOST players, using arty with troops or base defence is pretty OP. I'd say this issue is perhaps one of the reasons openra hasn't taken off as it is dispiriting to get rained on with not ma...

Re: Is there anything from Red Alert not yet implemented?

I think there is a heli pad that was placed in the water? Also there was a nuclear bomb plane from one mission. Anything else? They may not be suitable for (balanced) team games of course but could anything else be implemented into OpenRA from the original? There was a flame mammoth in one of the m...
