AA 5.0
I know the old thread has been locked and Nixa stopped working on the project after the discussion about an appropriate name for the mod.
Anyway, i think it's really a pity that nobody is going to continue with the AA development. I really dislike BA's MM economy and it there has not been any visible development for months. Besides the new effects in AA 5.0 are much nicer but there are yet bugs to fix and probably more effects to be inlucded etc.
I think someone should continue to work on AA (and somehow reflect the fact that the developer has changed in the modname)...

Just pick another word starting with A so that the acronym can stay AA. That'll pay proper tribute to the history of AA, but clearly differentiate it so we won't get more drama. I looked into this a few weeks ago with a thesaurus and came out with a few words or phrases that might work: Authoritative, Accurate, All-Out, and Authentic. Alternately, someone could dig Caydr up and ask him for his blessing to continue AA since he's no longer working on it. He probably deserves some credit regardless since he was responsible for the base most of the Spring TA/Uberhack derivatives are working from.
Well CA has been mentioned two times here.. but i can find no info about it and when i have asked in lobby from ppl who have played/tested it they stay shut.
Not a promising start for a mod if the dev team is so fucking full of themselves that they dont think they need to answer when someone 'ordinary' makes a simple question..

BA was never intended to be a mod with a weekly update, we try to create a stable mod, so you can actually LEARN the mod. Instead of you get a new mod every 2 weeks. That being said, one day there will be a BA update again.
And indeed lets wait for CA, i hope it will be pretty different from BA and Fun-TA.

Maybe there can be a gfx-only update, with AA effects or something? I think the few releases is a very good idea though.BA was never intended to be a mod with a weekly update, we try to create a stable mod, so you can actually LEARN the mod.

The new effects in Nixa's AA are some of the the ones I'm making for Complete Annihilation, a BA fork Saktoth, Fox, Machio and I are working on. It will not be a beautified BA, but something different.
You won't find much information on the forums because we are a lazy bunch of lurkers, heh. Still, the development process is not closed at all, you can find daily test SD7s at #talk, in the lobby. Don't expect something playable though, we're far from finished. That said, if you still want to try it out or hang out in #talk, you're welcome, and we'd be grateful for any feedback.

That's a sad thing. I prefer AA5.0 over BA, because it brings back many good old things (or at least it intends to do so) ...
- more powerfull lvl2 units opposed to lvl1 units
- toned down MM
- disabled units are back
- less powerfull defenses
And it doesnt fell any less balanced than BA.
Imo as long as it stays in original line it should be called AA no matter who develops it.
