Whatever you speak of, why the negativity?Jazcash wrote:Not when they've been playing for two years and still can't play anything but DSD.northdakota2170 wrote:noobs are the lifeblood of any online game

Lol Oh boy ha. Nah whatever it is it wont run me off. Ill still play. This is one of the best free RTS out there. Warzone 2100 is garbage. Starcraft is good but no where near as deep as BA. Supreme Commander is pretty much a ripoff of OTA. It just needs some tweaks, but since its open source, thats pretty easy isnt it?jazcash wrote:Oh you'll soon know what I'm talking about young one, you'll soon know.
Thank you, and very true. I wish there was more of a way to show an items effect on your resources while its being built. Also the energy costs of certain weapons pershot should be shown as well. I didnt realize id need all thatAres wrote:Good luck with your BA, sounds like you put up a good fight that time. Instead of making a Vulcan try Big Berthas instead in future, they are more cost efficient and should put less strain on your economy.
However, as you noted, commiting to an army will serve you better in almost every situation - cheaper, flexible and will get the job done quicker.

Have you ever had the kind of dream where you do the same thing over and over before? Y'know, where some simple scenario plays out, over and over again, in a loop with no end in sight?northdakota2170 wrote:Lol Oh boy ha. Nah whatever it is it wont run me off.

It's always a beautiful moment when another person discovers real RTS gameplay (as opposed to the watered-down stuff most commercial RTS games offer today).northdakota2170 wrote:This is one of the best free RTS out there.

If you're really interested in contributing and learning a few things along the way, a good idea would be to join a game development team! A lot of projects (like Zero-k, Evolution RTS, and S44) are tolerant and supportive toward less experienced members, and you can learn the ropes while producing some sweet content!However, I am learning to program now, so one day i can contribute :). It was just the sheer range of the vulcan gun enticed me (I love long range weaponry and any type of artillery). Also whenever i become fluent enough in programming, id really like to make tutorial missions for each of the unit types, starting with infantry, then to tanks, etc. That way new players could get a feel for the tactics appropriate for that unit. Also they could have a chance to master those expensive tech Lvl 3 units and buildings without having to lose an entire game. Also I have heard of a mission editor, but I cannot seem to locate it anywhere
I'm really pleased that somebody new actually starts with bots first.northdakota2170 wrote:I just started playing BA a couple of days ago. ...
