"Handicap" actually means "bonus" (don't ask), ie. the higher you set it the better. Leave the value at zero for enemies.

Also negative handicap would be good, and the limit to 100 is not enough, like 1000 would be ok.

Considering the handicap is almost always used againsy the ai only, I cant imagine who plays bad enough to need 1000 of handicap... :)

handicap refers to "your Handicap" aka, "how bad are you at this game" and that's what it means everywhere... in spring the handicap is practically implemented by giving you handicap/100 times as many resources per tick then you should get. so if you have a unit that produces 200 energy and 100 Metal each tick and a handicap of 30, you would get 260 energy and 130 metal each tick.

the problem most people have with the term is that they think is is a noun not a verb... I am not handicapping myself... I am informing the game that I have a handicap so that it will give me an advantage.

plus if you have any handicap you can get free metal by reclaiming something and building it at the same time with equal buildpower!! I recommend something like M storage that's high on M and low on E :)

Think golf or bowling, not wheelchair or crutches.

I posted a while ago suggesting a negative handicap would have a far greater effect on gameplay/team balancing...

Can we get max 1000 hcap pls? or 10000?

100 is not enough in big battles where you are against 10 people alone.

Would be cool to have weapon damage hcap too, so my weapons would make more damage to enemies.
The fun part in that is that the units have normal armor, so they dies as fast as your units. So they arent too OP.
