OpenRA

You don't want that replay Whocares, I just ran into pillboxes the entire game, lol.

OpenRA is the only RTS I enjoy lately due to its highly tuned mechanics. Some things like vision that were frustrating at first turn out to produce highly entertaining gameplay. I guess it's much like Starcraft 1, where counterintuitively stuff like 12 unit limit selection and bad pathing add to gam...

THUUUUNDERDOOOOME

Phew, this has been a hot topic. I've been trying to stay out of the kitchen, but now that things have cooled off a bit I'd like to talk more about my thoughts, about the playtest and the discussions surrounding it. Happy isn't great at communicating his ideas, so I sat down with him on Discord and ...

Winter Storm is also bad because the economy is tucked into areas that are hard to raid. It's impossible to raid the original base, and the corner resources are easily protected by defenses. Lorrydriver is right about why I like Green Belt, but he missed something about Pitfight. The way the map is ...

RAGL has always shifted what maps are popular in the competitive scene. Keeping a rotating map pool is important and I see it in all competitive ladders. Keeping Sidestep is a given due to how popular it is. But I'd like to see a lot of new maps.

I wish I had won 50.

A NEW META!?

Clickbait aside, it's Smitty vs Orb on RAGL Agenda in the playtest. I've been experimenting with new builds in the playtest and Smitty says this one has potential.

Problem with that is people might only have time for one season. If you punt some games to the beginning of the next season they might not be able to play. Also the fact the game may been patched (as it looks like it is right now) between seasons means people will have to play on older versions than...

If there was a "ranked" server that didn't require uploading replays I think that would be fantastic. Heck, at minimum all it really needs to do is save the replays. We can set a password in this thread, and if anyone wants to play a ranked game they'd meet there. Then, NMM can look at the replays f...

I think part of the reason the competitive community has grown is because of your great casting. I wouldn't be here if I hadn't come across one of your casts! Heck, I'm also playing Crystalized Doom right now because of your casts (I do hope you do more CD casts in the future).

I don't want to start a fight, but no one is going to take you seriously unless you play more. And use better reasons than "I'm a pro". I mean, I'm impressed you admitted in your first post you only played one game. But to think that strengthens your argument is ridiculous.

I like it. I wish the clicking noise was gone, but I like everything else about it. I've played, er...7 games? 3 against Master's level players. It directly nerfs barracks in your face strategy. It also buffs tesla coils a bit, for better or for worse. I find defending still extremely easy, as defen...

Signing in! I love random maps, which is why PA was one of my favorite games.

Ooof, 6 am start time.

But I'll still sign up.
