To clarify: if a player has more than one of a production facility, does the engineer tap do nothing?

I like the crates, yes they are fun and I also like how they reward exploration. That shroud crate is devastating with explored map on but, again, that's all part of the RNG fun times. It was a good move to stop crates from giving players an extra MCV, and since then crates work well. I vote for no ...

The 'no' option here is a bit loaded. I agree with leaving the default as is, though.

I don't play a great deal of TD, but I always loved the single-engi instant capture mechanic from the original game, so I would agree with introducing this, and I agree with anjew's reasoning.

That's very cool about the mobile radar jammer. It might start seeing more play if Hi's mass phase transport strategy takes off.

I have been dissuaded from using phase transports because I always thought infantry could detect them, so this cast was educational and entertaining.

Are there any units that offer steath detection or is it only the base defenses?

Once you let a Russia player mass shockies, it is very hard to come back. I think against Russia it becomes imperative to snipe the tech and stem the tesla men production. I don't know if they need another nerf, but they still a very powerful unit.

Yep. Massive thanks to everyone involved... I played the old C&C growing up, and a bit of Red Alert because my cousin had it and, like many of us I'm sure, so much of the game, the music, the sound effects, the vibe, stuck with me that whole time. I revisited it a few times on the N64 and the playst...

How did you find it? Around 6 years ago I was playing quite a bit of it on a real Nintendo 64, and played through all the standard NOD missions, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The men's screams while being flame throwered are so harrowing. But I recently fired it up again, since discovering OpenRA, and ...

Yes, I was thinking that people would do that with their sub pen if getting a spy in there became more common, therefore I propose being able to build a dinghy which one unit can enter, which could then sail to the sub pen.
