What has this to do with the earlier remarks? Nothing, right. You are just trying to turn this into some shit topic. The music in ZK was (is?) bad. Anything after this is just your flaming. Go insult someone else, preferably somewhere else.

ZKL deploys configs with negative scroll speed because that is the standard scroll behaviour for the majority of games. Spring's defaults are backwards.

klapmongool it would be useful to know what you wanted to remove but I am not really that worried. We're not aiming at Spring players because the players that hang around Spring (as opposed to any particular game) are invariably those that prefer customisation over user friendliness. There are a lot more potential players to be gained with user friendliness.

IMO you guys favor casual players with the initial setup, so I wouldn't say it is that bad. The customization/userfriendlyness feels like you meant to say something else?

His main complaint about the music can be over-ridden/disabled. This is normal for games. I do not know of any professional modern game that doesn't have music. This is pretty standard.

So, ZeroK is not worth playing because of Toy store graphics, reversed scroll, and it has music.

BA is for elitists who think they're true gamers.

Tech annihilation is a rip-off for some reason.

So, anything positive about them? Does anyone play TechAnni besides me? :)

Zk has planetwars, unit unlocks commanders you can customize


Slow bu steady development model preferred by most non-casual gamers.


Dunno, lots of units is a positive, I don't play techA to offer anything meaninful


Welcome to playing a game that is marginalized. There are tons of threads about makign a marginalized game more popular. So far none of them have worked. The common knee jerk reaction advice is "well advertise on the server to try and get others to join your match." this has minimal short lived rewards. One way is to ask a few people in a match if they are willing to give techA a go, then play some matches with them. If they like it hey great. The best way is to have a group of people you like playing with and like playing with you, and play the game together. Even if they don't *really* like techA they are playing it with you and since you guys in theory enjoy playing games together, well there you go.

I do, occasionally.

Ever play Progressive Annihilation? If so, what's comparative/different?

No, so i wouldnt know. I do know (and you too) that the descriptions given of tech anni in this thread are nowhere near accurate though. Anyway, i still think you are wasting your time writing this stuff. And I bet you will agree in a years time. You must be the 10th person starting this, and you prolly wont finish.

What, writing a list of active games?

yeah, we have had a lot of guys wanting

DOCUMENT ALL THE PROJECTS

what all the projects?

ALL THE PROJECTS

I have not read a single real description of any project in this thread. Ultimately descriptions fail because people compare one project to another creating a situation when one project updates the other's description is invalidated. Most old timers that do non-*A, this sometimes even includes me, dismissively call *A projects the product of some moron hacking away in notepad on unit defs. To be clear that isn't really the case all of the time but is just the indifference felt by many people who do work on projects. On top of that there has always been a culture of my *A is better than the *A you play etc. It is dumb and counterproductive but people like to be red team vs blue team fighting for butter side up.

So essentially, if you learn enough to do a write up of one game over another, you will invariably have bias and deride one over another. Lets assume your detailed write up IS fair. It then will be invalidated by the next version of techA which adds flying waffle ships.

Any *A project list has to be living and fairly detailed without reference the projects listed within. Many of the projects when described will sound VERY VERY similar if not the same as all subtlety is often lost in the process of detailing an *A game's gameplay or features. detailing what *A has what unit or not etc.

Just a hard road to walk. Add to it if you don't glorify someones favorite *A game JUST RIGHT expect to see some vitriolic hatred from random people who you have never met.

"Vitrolic hatred?" -> ZEROK HAS MUSIC ZOMG :D

Gundam and evo had music long before they did

Iirc, evo had music first, then quite a bit later SA. But that just means music packaged with the game. The ability to play music via a widget has been around a good long time.

frankly ZK is the only mod left

past year BA has been declining a lot while ZK getting more popular

every good player left BA and now they play DSD revolutions all day which is sinking even lower than before if that were possible

so it's safe to call BA dead imo

*Sigh* No Mega Annihilation is not dead!
It is just now maintained by Razorblade under MA Escalation
on and off

also there was also Johnny5alive Total Annihilation
With T3 units and such dead aswell but IIRC he pops up sometimes here.

Always those forum discussion and * Annihilation stuff blah

wtf is mega annihilation

edit: no wait don't tell me, I don't care

Are you sheep?
