Re: Assault units which aren't rezable (no wreck)

@KDR_11k: Yes, it is

But I want to play such a game and not make a fork where everybody has to choose for either the fork or BA/ZK/TA.

Such a fork will never get enough players with our current playerbase.

And that is why I wrote it and hope some TA/BA/ZK dev like this idea and make a change.

Lobby with a Teaworlds-like mini game.

Teeworlds has so many players...

What if we make/include a teaworlds-like mini game for weblobby for the time between battles?

At least it would attract ppls to spring, because this game doesn't need spring, only weblobby and Java-plugin.

Re: Maximum Annihilation?

Nah, you just need the new Artificial-Super-Roboter-Intelligence script to parse that string :D

Additional effect : increases AI strength to Godde-Player like efficiency mixed with the all-seeing distributed attention of computer opponents :p

Re: Metal Extracting Factories

Do you want for the first ressource a gain related to game-time only? I didn't quite understand the question You get 1 metal every second. Basic units like geos cost only metal. More advanced units cost metal, and are upgraded or stronger the more gass you spend. But now I see what you are aiming f...

Re: Maximum Annihilation?

tl;dr: Just make sure your game works in current version. True. In my opinion one of Spring's greatest fuckups though as it basically tells the game developers: You want to create a game using Spring and using its lobby system & stuff? Great - you'll just never be allowed to quit patching your ...

Re: Assault units which aren't rezable (no wreck)

You don't want it on all units - when you are sure you can fend an attack off, you want the wrecks of your units at least :)

You just need the right unit for every case (or a not-leave-wreckage unit state)

Re: Big footprints and death explosions for some towers?

Potentially any. As long as you can tech furter (ba/ta/...) or make Striders (zk) and the AOE damage gets worse (compared to a single units health) The bigger footprints are mainly for games like zk/cursed/EvoRTS where the game developes to a dense defense line vs another - it would limit the maximu...

Re: Metal Extracting Factories

So, to accomplish that, is there a way to make "flavours" of metal? I would like to make 2 kinds of extractable resources. Think along the lines of enabling green and blue on the metal map. Or maybe change the type of every other metal spot on the map when the game starts? It sounds like ...

Big footprints and death explosions for some towers?

Death explosions: Walls around a mine -> it isn't protected against AOE damage. Mines are too weak to survive a flea or minesweeper and need much micro currently. I would like towers with death explosion. get attacked 1by1 -> it makes cost get steamrolled by small weak units -> makes cost attackers...

Assault units which aren't rezable (no wreck)

Assault units are very often killed inside the enemy base. In most games you either win center instantly, because you get huge reclaim from the enemy outpost or lose in progress because you send a lot of reclaim right into the enemy storage. Commander explosions and reinforcements lower the value of...

merge/improve ready/away

Ready and away both say, that you can't participiate. Some lobbies don't support the ready state (weblobby, maybe zkl) because Springie (host) makes !start a vote. How about defining negative values for away in the lobby protocoll?: * negative values: how long you think, you will be away * positive ...
