Too strong mines, something that's invisible and so powerful is just lame, kinda luck-based

Cant agree more to this.

I am here, just been busy lately (and playing some starcraft)

It is allso an animal that is known for providing us with milk, allthough most animals can do this, this particular one delivers > 95% of the worlds milk.

Another funny fact about cows is that they say MOOOOOOH!

I just came up with a name.

i needed the forum link for springfiles and visaversa XD
Don be so quick! don you have anything better todo then watch for new posts

Rorschach's Island A test/concept version of a 2 to 8 player map i am working on. The conept of the map is to fight with sea and/or water units. So, as you can see, there are large areas of shallow water. The middle island holds the most metal. Try to take it, if you dont, exapand over the sides of...

and now for something completely different:

Black Sabbath - Into the Void http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6CNRPXaiYA ... Oooh that riff is godly! Black Sabbath single handedly invented most of all metal genres in decennia to come, death-, trash-, doom metal. XD More doom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akt3awj_Ah8&feature=related For me ...

With the config i do not only mean wich units to build when. But also how big an attack group should be, how many scouts/raiders you want. On some maps you want to dynamically change the config parameters. Maybe even change them during the game based on enemy behavior. I know this is incredibly hard...

just played a couple of games with this version too. Everything seems to work fine so far. It uses air, fighters guard the lab as intended. Raiders do what they do best. But still a lot of things in its behaviour that can be improved though. Scouts often miss opurtunity targets. Ie, a peewee passes ...

something else wich just crossed my mind; the hitsphere of windmills. They are big, too big imo. When you have some next to your lab, selecting the lab becomes hard somtimes. What do you thinkof giving them a cubical hitsphere?

i wasnt considering any balance changes in this post. There are some other threads fot that. Thought this was mainly about XTAs graphical stuff

the explosions of those vertical rockets is too much imo. You cannot see the units in the cloud they produce. And since ppl tend to spam rocket hovers lately this can get quiet annoying. Same for flashes. If two players run at each other with >10 flashes it is hard to distinguish your own units from...

ehm... making core arty fire twice as fast ... thats like a mobile buzzsaw (kinda)

Core arty does have a better chance to survive against one or two raiding Kbots (pyro/warrior) then luger. At close range the core arty will hit most defenitly throwing the raider back to the base it came from. Luger cant do that, and will most likely die if you send two pyros/warriors at it.

Core arty may be the least used unit, it also is the most awesome unit in Core's arsenal. i agree with ik there ;-) Dont you just love the sound of a Core Artry shooting, the plasma shot landing in a group of peewees throwing them all over the map :D It is pure epicness. Who cares it costs 2K metal....
